The South Coast 

This small group two-day tour gives you the time to take in the impressive Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls and the Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach.

You’ll hike on the Falljökull glacier, getting unbeatable views of the ice fall. You’ll be mesmerized by the giant icebergs floating around the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, as well as the large crystals of ice washed up on the nearby Diamond Beach.

You can explore the moss-covered Eldhraun lava fields and the incredible Fjaðrárgljúfur gorge. Outside of months with the midnight sun, there’s a chance you’ll even be able to see the Northern Lights dancing across the sky.

This tour includes accommodation and a delicious buffet breakfast at the modern Lilja Guesthouse (or equivalent), with spacious rooms and private bathrooms.

What to wear? 

Be sure to bring waterproof jackets and water-resistant or waterproof pants for the unpredictable Icelandic weather. You must also have strong, waterproof hiking boots that preferably go above your ankle. They are needed to wear with the crampons on the glacier.

Waterproof jackets, pants, and hiking boots can be hired in the booking process. These are free of charge.

Good to know 

Please minimize the luggage you bring on this tour.

Denim jeans or cotton are NOT suitable to wear on the glacier. Denim gets wet and then cold very quickly; let’s stay warm!

You MUST have sturdy waterproof hiking boots for the glacier hike. No sneakers. If you do not have boots, you can hire from us, but please get in touch with us.

We make stops to allow you to stock up on some snacks and drinks if you do not have any. Lunch is not included, but we do stop at the Black Sand Beach Restaurant, so there is plenty of time to buy something to eat
