Itinerary and highlights
Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls, known for its unique feature, you can walk behind it! The water drops 60 meters from a cliff, creating a magical view from all angles. It’s easy to access and perfect for photos.
Gljúfrabúi is a hidden waterfall just a short walk from Seljalandsfoss. It’s partly tucked behind a cliff, inside a small cave. To see it up close, you can walk through a narrow opening in the rock—be ready to get a little wet! Please note, access can be weather dependent, especially in winter when the path may be slippery or icy.
Skógafoss is one of Iceland’s largest and most powerful waterfalls, dropping 60 meters with a stunning roar. You can walk right up to the base or climb the stairs to the top for a breathtaking view. On sunny days, you might even see a rainbow in the mist. The area is usually accessible year-round, but weather conditions can affect the path, especially during winter.
We will visit the church, where you can take beautiful pictures. Lunch break (please note that the lunch break may take place at a different location).
The most famous black sand beach in Iceland, with basalt columns and powerful waves.
We stop at Sólheimajökull to admire the glacier up close, without hiking on it. If you’d like to go on a glacier hike, let us know, and we can arrange it for you.
