ITINERARY

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall – Walk Behind a Cascading Wonder

Our journey begins at the stunning Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, an iconic 60-meter-high cascade flowing from the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. Unlike most waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss offers a rare opportunity to walk behind its powerful curtain of water, making it one of the most photogenic spots in Iceland.

Skógafoss Waterfall – A Majestic Cascade

Next, we visit the Skógafoss Waterfall, another South Coast gem with a drop of 60 meters and a width of 25 meters. This mighty waterfall is one of Iceland’s largest and is famous for the double rainbows that often appear in its mist. For the adventurous, a staircase of 527 steps leads to a breathtaking panoramic view from the top.

Lunch in Vík – A Cozy Icelandic Meal

A stop for lunch in the charming coastal village of Vík. Here, we recommend the Black Crust Pizzeria, a local favorite known for its deliciously unique Icelandic-style pizzas and cozy atmosphere. This is the perfect spot to refuel before our ice cave exploration.

Katla Ice Cave – A Journey Into Iceland’s Frozen Heart

Prepare for an unforgettable experience as we venture into the Katla Ice Cave. After a short hike with our expert guides, you’ll be equipped with crampons for safe exploration inside this otherworldly glacial cave. Witness the striking blue and black ice formations, shaped by centuries of volcanic and glacial activity. Conditions inside the cave change daily, but its mesmerizing beauty never fades. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the glacier’s history and formation, making this a truly educational and immersive experience.

Vík & Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach – The Power of Nature

Our final stop takes us to Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, one of the most famous black sand beaches in the world. Known for its towering basalt columns, powerful Atlantic waves, and the iconic Reynisdrangar sea stacks, this site is a testament to Iceland’s raw and untamed beauty.
