Itinerary

Day 1 Golden Circle

Thingvellir

In 930 the Icelandic Parliament, the first democracy in the world, was established at Thingvellir. Thingvellir became a World Heritage Site in 2004. We walk to Öxarárfoss waterfall.

Geysir

The geyser Geysir itself erupts boiling water up to 70 meters, but is almost inactive. Strokkur, only few meters apart from Geyser, erupts on average every 4 minutes.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Enjoy the view from above and walk down the path to get close to the powerful waterfall.

Fridheimar

At Friðheimar greenhouse, tomatoes are cultivated, using geothermal heat and geothermally generated electricity. With a tropical climate inside, they have opened a restaurant, right there in the tomato field. The main ingredients in their menu are, of course, tomatoes grown there. This is a very rare and unique lunch experience.

Secret Lagoon – Gamla Laugin

Secret Lagoon is a natural geothermal bath, where you bath in raw nature and relax at the end of the day.

Day 2 South Coast

Seljalandsfoss waterfall is 60 m high, and is one of few in the world where you can easily walk and experience it from behind.

Skogafoss

Skógafoss is the most famous waterfall in Iceland.

Solheimajokull Glacier

Dyrholaey

Reynisfjara Beach

The black beach was, in 1991, ranked as one of the ten most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world. On the beach there are the remarkable basalt columns. Reynisdrangar is a seastack, a geological formation made by wave erosion of surrounding material.

Day 3 South Coast to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

Fjallsarlon Iceberg Lagoon

Fjallsárlón is another beautiful glacier lagoon, in front of a calving glacier. The glacier is an outlet glacier from Vatnajökull that flows down a steep valley until it reaches the lagoon. Ice breaks off the glacier and floats around in the water, creating beautiful scenery.

Diamond Beach Jokulsarlon

Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is a beautiful lagoon in front of a calving glacier. We will enjoy the amazing view of floating icebergs in a lagoon and walk between them at the black beach, which is sometimes referred to The Diamond Beach.
