3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat Tour

Day 1 – The classic Golden Circle and the Kerid Volcanic Crater

Your day starts by driving from Reykjavik to the historic site of Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet which creates an amazing feeling having one foot in each world!

You will then travel onwards to the world famous site of the hot spring Geysir. Known throughout the world for it´s power and beauty, Geysir has become a synonym for this amazing show of nature. Strokkur, another hot spring, sits nearby and is very active, erupting to heights up to 30 meters every few minutes. In the Geysir area you will also have time to buy lunch.

Next on the agenda is the waterfall Gullfoss – the golden waterfall. One of the most popular tourist attractions is Iceland, Gullfoss will amaze you with it´s raw power and beauty, plummeting down 32 meters into a rugged canyon.

These three attractions complete the classic Golden Circle – but to add even more to your experience – we also stop at the spectacular Kerid Volcanic Crater. This 3000 year old crater is 55 meters deep and offers a unique view of the Icelandic nature. Admission to the Kerid is included.

Day 2 – South Coast, Waterfalls and Glacier Hike

We start with visiting the two great waterfalls of the south coast, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, as well as visiting lesser known, more secret waterfalls Glufrabui, Kvernufoss and Irafoss. 

As we continue we will drive under the great Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano and the Mýrdalsjökull glacier cap, where we take a Glacier Hike for about 1,5 hours on the Solheimajokull glacier. All necessary safety equipment is provided.

A bit further is the great Reynisfjara beach, where the sea crashes upon black sands.

We will be staying overnight in a Nicehostel Seljaland, a very cosy accommodation close to the famous Seljalandsfoss.

Day 3 – The amazing Glacier lagoon and Skaftafell National park

Today, you will take a close look at majestic glaciers and lagoons. After a stop in the lovely village of Vik we drive to the East where we visit the National park in Skaftafell. where guests can also buy lunch.

Then we head to the amazing Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon where you will have a boat tour, sailing on the lagoon. The lagoon is full of huge chunks of ice which crack off Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and float slowly out to sea. Some icebergs wash on shore, lying on the vivid black sand like diamonds on satin. There is a good possibility of seeing seals swimming around the huge icebergs.

After enjoying this wonderful experience we head back in the afternoon towards Reykjavik where we estimate to arrive around 21:15 (09:15pm).
