After breakfast, Our first stop is Arnarstapi, You then have the option to explore beneath the ground at the Vatnshellir Cave (optional at $40/person), which is located inside Snæfellsnes National Park. This experience takes you about as close as you can get to the Jules Verne story, A Journey to the Center of Earth.
Your next stop will be at Hellnar, a really picturesque village where we stop for lunch. We then continue to the beautiful black pebble beach at DjΓΊpalΓ³nssandur. Here we enjoy a short hike, as the shimmering silver-tipped Atlantic waves roll over the glossy black pebbles of this beach, which is framed by incredibly shaped cliffs. You will see the remains of the British trawler, Epine, which was ship-wrecked here.
From Djúpalónssandur, we continue our journey around Snæfellsnes peninsula and our next stop will be at the famous and much photographed, Mount Kirkjufell, a favorite spot for many photographers
β‘οΈDay 4: Golden Circle (B)
After breakfast, Start tour at Γingvellir National Park (Thingvellir), one of UNESCOβS world heritage sites due to its geology and history. Haukadalur valley and the geothermal area of Geysir is next, we will see Strokkur, a geyser/hot spring which can be relied upon to erupt every few minutes, propelling boiling water up to 25 m into the air. The majestic waterfall, Gullfoss (the Golden Waterfall) is our final golden circle attraction. Watching huge volumes of water crashing and roaring through the rugged canyon is awe-inspiring.
As we continue along the Ring Road we will get a view of the famous mountain volcano, Hekla, if visibility is good. We then visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall β you can actually walk behind the tumbling falls for a unique vantage point. Another waterfall, SkΓ³gafoss is next, water from the great glacier, EyjafjallajΓΆkull, flows through these falls. The impressive cascade drops 60 m into the calm SkΓ³garΓ‘ (river) below. Your last stop on this magical day is at Reynisfjara, a black sand beach, to see the powerful Atlantic Ocean waves β make sure to stand well back! We spend the night in a country hotel near the small coastal town of VΓk. Maybe conditions will be ripe to see some northern lights?
β‘οΈDay 5: Ice Caving and JΓΆkulsΓ‘rlΓ³n Glacier Lagoon (B)
After breakfast, We continue our journey towards the east through enchanting lava fields and glacial desert sands, really wonderful contrasting scenery. Our main objectives today are glacier adventures, exploring a natural ice cave* in VatnajΓΆkull glacier and the magnificent JΓΆkulsΓ‘rlΓ³n Glacier Lagoon.
We equip ourselves and get a thorough safety briefing before spending about 45 minutes exploring the magical blue ice and taking photos. There is a degree of flexibility with this tour. The weather in Iceland is unpredictable and we want to ensure you will have an optimal travel in Iceland experience. Your guide will, therefore, decide the best way to organize the tour each time, you might, therefore, visit the cave on day three, this depends on which day your guide feels the conditions will be best.
Finally, we visit JΓΆkulsΓ‘rlΓ³n Glacier Lagoon and the nearby Diamond Beach where you will see icebergs of many shapes and sizes floating on the lagoon or resting on the beach in the dream-like fading late afternoon light. Seals can sometimes be seen in the lagoon. Your hotel will be in the Skaftafell area, of course, we hope conditions will be right for some northern light spotting!
β‘οΈDay 6: Glacier Walk and the South Shore (B)
After breakfast, we head off to the glacier again. The splendid VatnajΓΆkull is the biggest glacier in Europe, thus, it has many outlet glaciers or glacier tongues which reach out from its huge white icy hub. Proper hiking boots are absolutely essential, it is not possible to fit ice crampons to any other kind of footwear.
After the hike, we begin the journey back to ReykjavΓk. This gives us a chance to visit more sites as we travel through the south on our way back to the city. There will also be possibilities for some additional stops β all in accordance with the weather and conditions, for we know that the forces of nature are always in charge during the winter months in Iceland.
