About this activity

Day 1 The Golden Circle & Kerið Volcanic Crater

Setting out from Reykjavík on the Golden circle route, first you’ll delve into the mysteries of Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This is the meeting point of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which have spread so far apart that it is possible to stroll directly between them. It is a nice feeling to stand with your right foot in Europe and the left one in America!

The next stop features the biggest geysers found in the Haukadalur valley; Strokkur and Geysir.

Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall, is next. This is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland.

Finally, to add something unique to your experience, you will also visit the big volcanic crater called Kerið.

At the end of the day, your accommodation awaits in Seljaland, a lovely country guesthouse located in a beautiful spot close to Seljalandsfoss

Day 2 South coast, the five waterfalls and black beach Reynisfjara

After a good night’s rest, your first stop today will be at the famous Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which is located beneath the famous Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Close by is the beautiful but less known waterfall Gljufrabui which you will also visit.

Next up is the stunning Skogafoss, a drop of 60 m (200ft) of natural raw power that must be seen to be believed. You will then have the additional pleasure of visiting the secret waterfalls of Kvernufoss and Írafoss.

Then it is on to Reynisfjara, a black sand beach nestling under Mt. Reynisfjall. Black basalt has been shaped into amazing different formations, most notably the famous Reynisdrangar. Beware the might of the Atlantic Ocean which looms with its powerful waves.

Day 3 Glacier lagoon and the incredible Blue Ice cave

Today, you set off in the morning for a totally unique experience. A visit to a natural stunning Blue Ice cave will be the highlight of the day. After a drive through the lovely village of Vik, you stop at the Skaftafell national park where the amazing views will take your breath away!

You then continue to the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. This famous lagoon is filled with huge chunks of ice that have cracked off Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and float slowly out to sea. Some icebergs wash on shore, lying on the vivid black sand like diamonds on satin and from there, your Ice cave adventure will begin.

The ice caves only form in the winter when glacial water freezes to create this unique natural phenomenon. Each season, the local glacier experts find the best caves to visit in an enjoyable and safe way. From the glacier lagoon, they drive you through the best of Icelandic highlands in a special Super Jeep to the ice cave. There you will have about an hour to explore and enjoy the magical blue caves. Please do not forget to bring your camera!

The company was very professional, I liked both of my tour guides. Robert stayed with us for 2 days he was very nice. I love the little hotel where we stayed before going to the Blue Ice Cave, the only reason I don't give it a 5 is because my tour to the Ice cave was canceled due to weather conditions. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide was awesome, the views incredible. I actually can't think of anything I would want to change! We were one of the last tours of the last day that the ice caves could be toured, so if I had signed up for this tour a day later, I could have been disappointed in that regard, but all the other sights would have still made up for it. The guest houses were fine, clean and comfortable. They all had bathrooms down the hall and not private, but we were OK with that. Breakfasts were great. Be warned that everything in Iceland is expensive - but how many times will you be in Iceland??

We are so glad we chose this tour with Nice Travel. Our tour guides (Thor and David) were wonderful. The accomodations were extremely clean with very comfortable beds and the breakfasts were also good (coffee was AWESOME!!). Best way to see Iceland.
