Join our breathtaking Iceland Tour to experience the most beautiful scenery that the south coast of Iceland has to offer: stunning waterfalls, otherworldly black sand beaches, creaking glaciers, lava fields and towering geysers!
We’ll begin bright and fresh in Iceland’s capital Reykjavik which, being the largest city here, is described as one of the most beautiful capitals in the world.
During our Iceland tour, you’ll see the spectacular waterfall Seljalandsfoss which runs from the Eyjafjallajökull. You can even experience walking behind the waterfall and feel its natural beauty; don’t forget your waterproof jacket! There are more beautiful waterfalls to see, including Skogafoss. You’ll realise why it’s one of the most impressive waterfalls Iceland has to offer and walk to the top for incredible views of the coastline.
We’ll also stop at Seljavallalaug, an outdoor swimming pool built in 1928 in the middle of an impressive valley. Even if you decide not to swim in its naturally hot water, it’s worth going just for the view!
After seeing the breathtaking Sólheimajökull glacier, located between the volcanoes Katla and Eyjafjallajökull, we’ll spend a night in Vik, the biggest town on the south coast; famous for its pitch-black basalt sand beach, considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world. We’ll enjoy this unique landscape and walk to the cliffs, home to numerous seabirds, especially puffins.
The journey wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t see Jökulsárlón, a glacier lagoon, Gullfoss, one of the most iconic and photogenic waterfalls in Iceland and the Great Geysir, one of the highest known geysers in the world.
As we’ll be travelling in early September, we have a chance of seeing the northern light, fingers crossed!
We start our Iceland excursion right before our Eastern Greenland Cruise! This tour was carefully designed as a pre-Greenland extension, but it can also be booked independently.
