Route

1. Seljalandsfoss is one of the most photographed natural wonders in Iceland: an elegant waterfall that falls 60 meters into a moss-covered pool. You can follow the path behind the waterfall curtain, where the view (and the light mist!) is unforgettable. Just a short walk away is Gljúfrabúi, a waterfall hidden inside a narrow canyon, a place you must see if you like secret spots.

2. Continue east to the imposing Skógafoss, where the Skógá river falls 60 meters over an ancient sea rock cliff. Go up the stairs to the observation deck for a panoramic view of the coast, or stay down to capture the rainbows that usually appear in the fog. Skógafoss has inspired countless legends, including one about a chest of gold hidden behind the waterfall.

3. Easy 2-hour guided tour on the glacier with crampons and ice gear provided on Sólheimajökull glacier with an experienced glacier guide. An unforgettable way to experience the ice of Iceland up close. This incredible activity is available all year round.

The Sólheimajökull glacier is a tributary of the powerful Mýrdalsjökull and is surrounded by some of Iceland's most magnificent volcanoes. During the summer, a glacial lagoon forms in front of the glacier, which only adds charm to the place. (This activity is included in the tour price)

4. On Reynisfjara beach, the Atlantic Ocean meets ancient lava flows. Walk on black volcanic sand like jet, marvel at the geometric basalt columns of Reynisfjall and watch the waves crash against the sea stacks Reynisdrangar in the open sea. Your guide will remind you to keep a safe distance from the water: the surprise waves here are very strong.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is de noordelijkste hoofdstad ter wereld, een kleurrijke, compacte kunst- en muziekstad met de vulkanische landschappen van IJsland voor de deur.

De Hallgrímskirkja, met een toren geïnspireerd op basaltzuilen, rijst boven straten met felgekleurde huizen uit. Bij de haven glinstert het concertgebouw Harpa met zijn glazen gevel op het water, en het beeld Sun Voyager kijkt over zee richting de berg Esja. Laugavegur, de belangrijkste winkelstraat, staat vol designwinkels, cafés en bars.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
