South Coast, Golden Circle and Ice Caving

Begin your morning at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the landscape tells the story of Iceland’s dramatic geology. Stroll along the rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, feeling the immense scale of the earth pulling apart. Pause at Öxarárfoss, a charming waterfall cascading into a serene pool, perfect for photos and soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

Next, continue to the Geysir Geothermal Area, where the ground steams and bubbles with geothermal energy. Watch in awe as Strokkur erupts every few minutes, sending a towering column of boiling water into the sky, while smaller hot springs hiss and sputter all around. The vivid colors and surreal landscape make this a truly unforgettable stop.

In the afternoon, journey to Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most iconic sights. Feel the sheer power of the glacial river as it plunges down two dramatic tiers, with mist rising into the air and occasional rainbows adding a magical touch. On your way back, make a stop at Kerið Crater, a volcanic lake with strikingly colorful red and black slopes and a vivid aquamarine pool at its base. Take a leisurely walk along the rim, enjoying sweeping views and fantastic photo opportunities before driving to your hotel in Selfoss

Begin your morning along Iceland’s stunning South Coast at Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall famed for the unique path that allows you to walk behind its cascading veil of water. Nearby, discover the hidden Gljúfrabúi waterfall, tucked away in a narrow canyon, offering a magical, intimate experience surrounded by moss-covered cliffs. Continue to Skógafoss, one of Iceland’s largest and most impressive waterfalls. Climb the staircase to the top for breathtaking panoramic views of the South Coast, with the river stretching toward the ocean and verdant landscapes on either side.

In the afternoon, visit Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, where the dramatic shoreline is framed by towering basalt columns and the legendary Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the ocean.

In summer, take a detour to Dyrhólaey, a scenic viewpoint offering sweeping cliffs and, in summer, puffin colonies dotting the landscape—a perfect spot for unforgettable photos.

In winter, the usual stop at Dyrhólaey will be substituted with an ice cave adventure at Mýrdalsjökull Glacier, offering a unique opportunity to explore shimmering blue ice formations under the guidance of an experienced local guide.

After this unforgettable experience, begin the drive back to Reykjavík.

Arriving in the capital in the evening, explore its vibrant cityscape. Marvel at Hallgrímskirkja Church, Iceland’s iconic landmark, and ascend the tower for sweeping views of the colorful rooftops and surrounding mountains. Stroll along the harbor to admire the striking glass architecture of Harpa Concert Hall and snap photos of the Sun Voyager sculpture, a symbol of exploration and the sea. Wander Laugavegur Street, Reykjavík’s main shopping thoroughfare, filled with cafés, boutiques, and a lively local atmosphere.
