Itinerario

1. Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland's most popular waterfalls, standing at about 60 meters tall. It's renowned for the unique path that allows visitors to walk behind the cascading water. Just a short walk away is Gljúfrabúi, a hidden waterfall nestled within a narrow canyon—a lesser-known but enchanting spot worth exploring. Visitors should wear waterproof clothing and sturdy shoes, especially if they plan to walk behind the falls, as the path can be wet and slippery.

   45 min

2. Skógafoss is a stunning waterfall that stands 60 meters high and 25 meters wide. On sunny days, you can often spot rainbows shimmering in the mist. Visitors can take in the view from below or climb the stairs to the top for a breathtaking perspective. Nearby, you’ll find the fascinating Skógar Folk Museum, a cultural heritage collection featuring 8,000 regional artifacts showcased across 6 historical buildings and 3 museums! Skógafoss has also graced the screen in several films, including Thor: The Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

   45 min

3. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach is a stunning and distinctive stretch of coastline located near the village of Vík í Mýrdal in southern Iceland. Renowned for its unique black volcanic sand, towering basalt columns, and dramatic rock formations, Reynisfjara is a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Iceland's rugged beauty. The beach is framed by the Reynisdrangar sea stacks, which rise dramatically from the ocean, adding to the area's mystical atmosphere. Visitors can marvel at the powerful waves of the North Atlantic crashing against the shore, explore the basalt cave known as Hálsanefshellir, and admire the panoramic views of the surrounding cliffs and mountains. However, caution is advised when visiting Reynisfjara due to its unpredictable and potentially dangerous surf conditions.

   45 min

4. Experience The Soup Company, where freshly made soups celebrate Icelandic flavors using local ingredients. With a cozy atmosphere and friendly service, it’s a delightful spot for soup lovers. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. We recommend trying the famous Red Hot Lava Soup, and don’t forget that there’s a free refill so you can also enjoy the traditional Icelandic lamb soup. Please note that food is not included in the tour's price.

5. We will come to a stop near the roots of the Kötlujökull glacier, where the view that greets us is truly otherworldly. After putting on our crampons and helmets, we’ll take a short walk to the ice cave’s opening, possibly climbing a few steps on ladders to reach the entrance. As the natural ice cave constantly changes, conditions can differ on each tour. However, the climb is quite manageable, and anyone in average physical condition should be able to ascend these steps. It may look adventurous, but it is not demanding! Beautiful layers of various colored ice and volcanic ash unfold from the ice as we approach the cave, painting impressive stripes in the glacier. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the glacier’s history, the ice cave, and the surrounding area, making the tour both educational and exciting. Upon returning from the glacier, we will explore to see if any smaller ice caves are accessible before heading back to our super truck.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavík, la capitale più settentrionale del mondo, è una città colorata e compatta di arte e musica che si apre sui paesaggi vulcanici islandesi.

La chiesa di Hallgrímskirkja, con la torre ispirata alle colonne di basalto, si innalza sopra strade di case dipinte con colori vivaci. Giù al porto, la sala da concerti Harpa, dalle facciate di vetro, scintilla sull'acqua, e la scultura Sun Voyager guarda il mare verso il monte Esja. Laugavegur, la principale via dello shopping, è fiancheggiata da negozi di design, caffè e bar.
