The package includes two nights at Adventure Hótel Geirland and breakfast each morning.

Day 1: Explore Vestmannaeyjar Island

On the first morning, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavík. The tour will head to the Landeyjarhöfn harbor, where you will board a ferry to Vestmannaeyjar Islands.

Eldfell or explore the town before returning to the mainland in the afternoon.

Once back, you will travel along the South Coast and enjoy views of notable sites including Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, and Mt.

Laki, hike to the summit for stunning views of the landscape and the historic Lakagígar craters formed during one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history from 1783-1784.

Landmannalaugar and the Valley of Tears are two of Iceland’s most remarkable natural treasures, located in the heart of the Highlands. This unique area offers colorful rhyolite mountains, steaming hot springs, vast lava fields, and stunning hiking trails, making it one of the most unforgettable destinations in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve.

The Laugahraun lava field, created during a volcanic eruption in 1477, is a highlight of Landmannalaugar. Here you’ll find striking black obsidian, also known as Dragon Glass from Game of Thrones, gleaming across the landscape. The rhyolite mountains, rich in minerals such as quartz, sulphur, and iron, glow with vivid colors. The famous Brennisteinsalda (Sulphur Wave) peak beautifully showcases these natural hues.

Visitors usually spend around three hours in Landmannalaugar. Our guided two-hour hike leads you through the obsidian fields to Brennisteinsalda, but you may also explore other trails independently. If relaxation is more your style, bring a swimsuit and towel to enjoy the geothermal pool—a perfect way to unwind after your adventure.

On the way, you’ll also discover Hjálparfoss, a beautiful double waterfall surrounded by dramatic basalt formations. Historically, this oasis provided much-needed grazing for horses traveling the harsh Sprengisandur route, which is why it earned the name “Help’s Fall.”

Finally, the journey reaches Sigöldugljúfur – the Valley of Tears. This hidden gorge is filled with cascading waterfalls, creating misty veils that lend the canyon an enchanting, almost melancholic atmosphere.

Whether you are a hiker, photographer, or nature lover, Landmannalaugar and the Valley of Tears promise breathtaking scenery, geological wonders, and memories to last a lifetime.

This wonderful Jökulsarlon Ice Cave tour will let you see one of the most spectacular Iceland ice caves to date!

The Crystal Ice Cave Iceland tour departs from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, located 379km from Reykjavik, at least 4.5 hours drive from Reykjavik in best conditions. Staying close to the glacier lagoon for one night, before or after visiting the ice cave, is not a bad idea. Please follow weather and road conditions before you take off – the weather can be very different just outside the city.

We will pick you up at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon in a super jeep and drive to the edge of the glacier, where we will gear up and get ready for the caving. After a short hike (approx. 20-30 mins), we’ll arrive at the magnificent ice cave, where you will explore its wonders at your own pace.

Ice caves begin to take shape in autumn each year and last throughout the winter. Caves can be found in several locations on the south side of Vatnajökull. These trips are somewhat temperature dependent as ice caves must be treated with the utmost respect regarding the supportive ceiling, along with other factors that your specialized guide constantly evaluates. You will have the chance to visit one of them during this trip and to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Please wear warm clothes and waterproof layers. It’s always good to have some snacks with you and a bottle of water. Hiking shoes are mandatory!

You will be wearing a helmet, so a smaller hat is recommended for it to fit underneath the helmet.
