Full description

See some of the most amazing sites in southern Iceland on this 3-day guided tour.

Start your tour by visiting the highlights of the Golden Circle. Visit Thingvellir National Park where you can stand with one foot in Europe and one in America. Next, see Gullfoss,one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland, and marvel at the Geysir Strokkur as it erupts every 5-10 minutes.

Then, discover the Mars-like landscape of Kerið, a magical crater lake of brilliant blue-green water surrounded by bright red soil. You'll spend the night in Hveragerði Village before starting the next day on the south coast. There you can visit a unique Geothermal Park and try bread baked in the hot ground, boil eggs in boiling stream or simply relax at foot mud baths.

On day two, visit the two great waterfalls of the south coast, Seljalandsfoss, and Skógafoss, as well as the lesser-known waterfall of Glufrabui. Then drive under the great Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano to the Mýrdalsjökull glacier cap where you'll can enjoy a 1.5-hour glacier hike (optional).

End the 2nd day at the great Reynisfjara beach, where the sea crashes on the black sands, and you can see the hexagonal basalt columns and black rock sea stacks. Rest at an overnight stay in the remote Suðursveit County.

On the last day of your tour, take a closer look at majestic glaciers and lagoons. Then, head to the amazing Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon where you can take a boat tour (optional), sailing on the lagoon. See seals swimming around the huge icebergs.

Finally, the last stop is at Fjáðrárgljúfur River Canyon. At the end of your tour experience, head back to Reykjavik with an estimated arrival time of 9:15 PM.
