Itinerary and highlights
This breathtaking waterfall will leave your jaw dropped. You have definitely seen pictures of Seljalandasfoss but nothing beats the experience of getting a little wet when walking behind the falling water!
Discover the magical charm of Gljúfrabúi, a hidden waterfall concealed within a narrow canyon. This unique spot offers a memorable and almost fairytale-like experience, weather permitting.
This waterfall is a completely different beast! A huge amount of water is dropping down with tremendous force forming an everpresent water mist that creates beautiful rainbows. It feels like you can almost touch them.
We will make another stop in this charming little town.
This is certainly one of the brightest highlights of this tour. Named one of the top 10 beaches in the whole world by National Geographic, this spectacular location will leave you speechless. Basalt stacks, roaring waves and stunning scenery!
Stunning location where you can experience glacier from up close! Walk along the glacier lagoon and touch the ice itslef.
