Program details
Visit the south coast of Iceland and go hiking on a glacier then visit the incredible waterfalls of Skógar and Seljalandsfoss on one of the must-do day tours from Reykjavík.The first stop will be the rugged Sólheimajökull Glacier. Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier that flows from the main ice cap of Mýrdalsjökull where the mighty Katla Volcano rests. You will walk on the glacier, wearing special crampons on your shoes, and explore the amazing cracks, crevasses and ice expertly lead by a certified glacier guide. The experience is definitely one of those that are unique to Iceland as, you only need to hike 20 minutes, and suddenly you will find yourself standing on top of a few hundred meters of ice, but still only slightly above sea level.
The next destination is the stunning Skógarfoss waterfall. Up close, you will be able to feel the water spray on your face and you can also climb up the hill (all 527 steps) to see the majestic 60-meter-high waterfall from above and witness the water plummet down on its way to the Atlantic Ocean.
Last but not least, we will visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall which is one of Iceland’s most famous attractions, to get a different perspective you can take a walk from behind and look through the wall of water. In order to reach all of our incredible destinations we will make our way through fertile farming lands and pass by small villages. The area is known for its Viking history and heritage guarded by the infamous Eyjafjallajökull & Hekla Volcano dwellings with their all-powerful presence.
On clear days you will also have a great view of the Westman Islands where the renowned volcanoes lie, which caused the islander’s great troubles in the 1970s.
