On this trip we travel through farmland, past the black sand beaches, thundering waterfalls, powerful volcanoes and majestic glaciers on Iceland's south coast.

After an early start you will be picked up at around 08:00 and with your experienced guide you will journey to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. Once at the waterfall, you’ll take a short walk, where a unique photo opportunity of the waterfall awaits. At an impressive 196 feet (60 m) tall, you can epect a bit of a soaking, so don't forget your waterproofs.
You will then continue through the wonderous landsapes of Southern Iceland until you reach Sólheimajökull glacier. With expert guidance, you will then take an easy hike on the ancient ice of this fascinating glacier.
Gacier hiking should definitely be on everyone’s bucket list, and there is no better place to do it than Sólheimajökull. Once there, your certified glacier guide will get you geared up and instruct you on the safety guidelines. Together, you and your fellow travellers will become glacier explorers and make your way across the glacier tongues, all the while listening out for the ancient crackling sounds of the ice.
Next, you’ll be heading to Iceland's iconic black sand beach - Reynisfjara, considered as the country's most beautiful beach. The majestic basalt columns just off the shore, the roaring waves of Atlantic ocean and unusual black sand make for wonderful memories and atmospheric photos. Local legend says that the basalt columns looking at you from the ocean were once trolls pulling ships to the shore. Once the dawn gleamed over them, they turned into these magnificent rock formations.
Next you will drive on to one of the tallest and most majestic waterfalls in Iceland – Skógafoss. A pathway of 527 steps leads up to the crest of the waterfall, giving you a front-row view of the South Coast lowland below. According to another legend, the first Viking settler, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure chest in the cave behind Skógafoss, so it’s definitely worth the visit. You will taken back to your hotel early evening where you can freshen up and grab some dinner. You will be picked up again at around 20:30 for your evening of Northern Lights exploration.
The Northern Lights is heavily depend on the weather conditions, so the exact place you'll visit is unknown until the last minute. The moment you spot the first hint of glimmering bright colours in the dark sky is always spellbinding. Red auroras, from luminescent orange to flaming rose, and lustrous violet auroras are more common in Iceland than anywhere else in the world, so get your camera ready and prepare to experience something out of this world.
After the (fingers crossed) unforgettable light show, you will head back to the Reykjavik around midnight.
This is a great value, easy, sightseeing tour with an adventurous twist. The sights are often breathtaking and the grandeur unforgettable. To round up your day you will be able to say that you have stood on a 700 years old glacier ice, walked behind a 60 meter high waterfall and strolled along a volcanic black sand beach.
