1Seljalandsfoss
On the slopes of Ejyafjallajökull, the unpronounceable volcano that blocked flights to half of Europe during the 2010 eruption, we will see Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This is precisely our first stop where, depending on the season, it will or will not be possible to walk behind the waterfall. The time frame includes transportation.
2 hours 30 minutes • Admission ticket included -
2Gljufrabui Waterfalls
After a 5 minutes walk from Seljalandsfoss, we will enter the small canyon that leads beneath Gljúfrabúi waterfall. To be enter the canyon we will have to walk up a small creek, and this might or might not be possible according to the season and the weather conditions.
35 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3Skogafoss
The second stop on our journey will be in front of the waterfall of Skogafoss, also filmed in the TV series 'Game of Thrones' and 'Vikings'. A long staircase of about 400 steps leads to the top of the 62-meter-high waterfall, giving you the opportunity to admire the landscape of the plains to the sea as far as the eye can see. The time frame includes transportation.
1 hour 30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
4Kvernufoss
A few minutes' drive away, the waterfall of Kvernufoss lets itself be discovered after a short (and easy) walk in a small canyon. To this day it is still considered not to be such a turistic destination, so with a little luck we could have few other people around us. But please, keep it a secret! The time frame includes transportation.
45 minutes • Admission ticket included -
5Reynisfjara Beach
Before returning to the city, our last scheduled stop is on the black beach of Reynisfjara adorned by its basalt columns. From there it is possible to admire the natural formation of the Dyrholaey: promontory that overlooks the ocean has a breathtaking arc of rock, especially at dusk. As beautiful as it is, Iceland is also dangerous: the abnormal waves that can sometimes occur on this beach are terribly infamous, so it's always good to be cautious. Our guide will obviously ensure that your visit takes place safely. The time frame includes transportation.
