South Iceland Summer Getaway

After your driver guide picks you up at your accommodation (08:30 am) in Reykjavík, you will head East towards the picturesque south coast. The more East we get the more stunning the scenery becomes. Numerous waterfalls tumble down from steep cliffs and giant glaciers and vast black deserts form a sharp contrast. On the way, we will stop for an exciting glacier walk on Sólheimajökull or Falljökull. We stop at the picturesque little village of Vík at the foot of the Icecap Mýrdalsjökull before reaching our luxurious 4-star hotel in time for dinner (not included).

Today we head further east, taking in the vast open sand plains and the mighty Vatnajökull ice cap in the distance. Vast alpine peaks perforate the background as we admire the wonders of the Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón), filled with huge icebergs and sunbathing seals. A short walk away we will explore the Diamond Beach, named after its countless stranded Icebergs. The afternoon includes a visit to the National Park Skaftafell with a short hike up to the beautiful waterfall Svartifoss surrounded by basalt columns. As we drive back to Reykjavik we have the time to stop and take in some of the wonders the South coast is waiting to reveal. The black sand beach of Reynisfjara meets us first where we witness the raw power of the Atlantic Ocean. Further along, we witness the majestic waterfalls of Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss before returning to Reykjavik in late afternoon/early evening.
