About this experience
This 2-day journey along Iceland’s incredible South Coast is the perfect combination of dramatic landscapes, cultural storytelling, and glacier adventure. You’ll travel through Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders, including Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, the famous Reynisfjara black sand beach, and the awe-inspiring Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, located in Vatnajokull National Park—home to the largest glacier in Europe.
Depending on the season, you’ll either explore a magical crystal blue ice cave (October–April) or embark on a glacier hike across ancient ice formations (May–September), led by a certified glacier guide. If the Northern Lights appear during your stay, your guides will be ready to take you to the best viewing spots.
Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories from Icelandic history and the Viking Sagas. You’ll enjoy Icelandic music and have a chance to taste local culinary specialties.
