Overview

Travel the entire south coast of Iceland with Hidden Iceland over two adventure filled days! Take in the impressive Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, as well as the Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Walk along the ridges of Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon before coming to our accommodation for the night. There’s a chance you’ll see the Northern Lights dancing across the sky. We start the next day at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon where the giant icebergs float around and wash up on Diamond Beach. From here we meet up with our local ice cave experts from Local Guide to embark on our Ice Cave adventure. We travel in their specialised Super Jeeps to get closer to the glacier. You'll get up close and personal to the astonishingly beautiful ice formations of an outlet glacier of the enormous Vatnajökull icecap. The textures, light and colours will leave you in awe!

Activity itinerary

Day 1: Entire South Coast
  • 6 stops
  • Meals: Not included
  • Accommodation: Overnight at the modern Lilja Guesthouse in deluxe rooms. All rooms have private bathrooms. Breakfast in included.
Seljalandsfoss
  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
The thunderous Seljalandsfoss waterfall, falling nearly 60 metres. It may be possible to walk behind this waterfall for amazing views, when it’s not icy. The waterfall is a result of melting glacial ice pouring down from the peak of Eyjafjallajökull.
Skogafoss
  • 30m
Our next stop at the famous Skógafoss waterfall. This 200ft fast flowing vertical waterfall can be enjoyed from afar or up close. Just remember to wear your waterproofs if you go to the very front. You can hire some Hidden Iceland waterproofs if you want to get really close. On sunny days you might be treated to a rainbow appearing in the mist of the waterfall. The majesty of this waterfall is not lost on popular culture either with both Game of Thrones and Vikings using this location for filming.
Reynisfjara Beach
  • 1h
Next up, we head to Reynisfjara to see the amazing rock formations at this spectacular black sand beach. The angular basalt columns with their hexagonal shapes are the perfect photo spot on calm days. In summer you might get to spot some very cute puffins nesting in the cliffs overhead. In winter you are often treated to some intense crashing waves. One thing is for sure, you’ll get lost in thought as you wander along the volcanic black sand. For those of you who haven’t brought food with you, the Black Beach Restaurant is a great spot to test out some local produce. The locally grown turnip soup is a Hidden Iceland guide favourite!
Vik
  • 15m
A short photo stop in this seaside town or a chance to grab some snacks from the supermarket in town.
Fjadrargljufur Canyon
  • 45m
This almost unpronounceable canyon is a stunning place for a walk to viewpoints for stunning photos.
Skaftafell National Park
We pass through Skaftafell National Park where you will get views of Iceland's highest mountains and its enormous glaciers.
Day 2: Glacier & Ice Cave Adventure
  • 4 stops
  • Meals: breakfast
  • Accommodation: Not included
Jokulsarlon
  • 45m
The famed iceberg filled lagoon of Vatnajökull National Park is a sight that you will never forget.
Vatnajokull Glacier
  • 4h
  • Admission ticket included
We join our partners from Local Guide of Vatnajökull in their amazing Super Jeeps to reach the remote ice caves of the enormous Vatnajökull glacier. The blues and textures of these natural ice caves will leave you in awe. We will hike from the super jeep to reach the front of the glacier where we can explore the inside of this icy giant.
Fellsfjara
  • 45m
Walk along the black sand shores of Diamond Beach where enormous icebergs from the glacier lagoon wash up on the beach. The icebergs glisten on the black sand shores like diamonds. Definitely one unique beach visit.
Eldhraun
We pass through the enormous moss covered lava fields of Eldhraun on our way back to Reykjavik. We will stop at one of our favourite restaurants on our way back to Reykjavik for a late lunch / early dinner.
