Itinerary

Day 1
Reykjavik - South Coast waterfalls and optional Glacier Hike
7 stops
1
Seljalandsfoss
Depart from Reykjavik and head to the beautiful South Coast. Pass the powerful theatrics of Seljalandsfoss waterfall.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free
2
Skogafoss
Further east along the coast is Skógafoss. Skógafoss is picturesque: hidden in a small canyon, the Skógá River tumbles down from a 60-meter-high cliff and then continues to flow through the landscape into the Atlantic Ocean. Along the canyon, stairs can take you to the ledge above the waterfall for a magnificent view.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free
3
Dyrholaey
There is a huge natural arch shaped like a gate leading to the sea, which is super shocking! Standing next to the arch, you will feel like you are standing on the edge of the world, with turbulent waves at your feet and a vast sky above your head. In summer, this is a habitat for seabirds, especially puffins! They are super cute and you can even take photos with them! [Natural phenomenon cannot be guaranteed]
15 minutes • Admission ticket free
4
Solheimajokull Glacier
[Optional] 3H glacier hiking with equipment [either at Vatnajökull Glacier or Sólheimajökull Glacier]
3 hours • Admission ticket not included
5
Reynisfjara Beach
We visit the black sand beach at Reynisfjara, where the Atlantic coastline features huge waves crashing against unique basalt columns on the cliffs above the sand. The cliffs of Dýrhólaey can be seen in the distance. This southern region is also a paradise for birdwatchers – in summer, puffins, razorbills, and dozens of other species nest on these cliffs.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free
6
Vik Church
Located in Heiðarland, Vík town, Iceland, the Vík Church was built in 1903 and is one of the earliest churches in Iceland (and the world) constructed with cement. Standing at the highest point of the town, its red roof and white walls, surrounded by blooming lupines, make it a popular photo spot for photographers and tourists.
10 minutes • Admission ticket free
7
DC-3 Airplane wreck - Eyvindarholt
On a desolate and vast black sand beach, the rough metal fuselage stands out against the dark sand, exuding apoetic beauty, mystery, and shock – a landscape like the end of the world, perfectly capturing Iceland's isolated and otherworldly feel. [*the shuttles will be complimentary if they are operated on the day.]
20 minutes • Admission ticket included
Day 2
Fjadrargljufur Canyon, the diamond beach and optional glacier lagoon boat tour

Vatnajokull National Park
[optional] In Vatnajökull National Park, hike an outlet glacier spawning from one of the largest glaciers in the country, Vatnajökull.

11
Diamond Beach
On the other side of the road, icebergs from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon float in the Atlantic Ocean, where tides and winds quickly carry them back to shore. This black sand beach is strewn with ice chunks of all shapes and sizes, sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight. The ice itself ranges in shades of white and blue, creating a beautiful contrast.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free
Day 3
The Golden Circle Visit - Reykjavik
3 stops
12
Geysir
The Geysir geothermal area is home to many colorful hot springs. A geyser called Strokkur erupts every 5 minutes, reaching up to 35 meters high. It’s named after the original erupting spring "Geysir," which gave all geysers their name worldwide, though it’s now extinct.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free
13
Gullfoss
Meltwater from Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier, plummets into a deep canyon, forming the majestic "Golden Falls." On sunny days, you can see Langjökull Glacier in the distance and enjoy rainbows in the waterfall’s mist—perfect for stunning photos!
15 minutes • Admission ticket free
14
Silfra
[Viewing from Afar] Located in Thingvellir National Park, Silfra is a witness to the rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Here, a deep, azure and crystal-clear stream extends from the canyon to Lake Þingvallavatn.
