Private 2-Day Glacier Lagoon, Ice Cave and Northern Lights, Reykjavik

Despre activitate

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 drive to 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, with an ice cave & glacier hike tour. The textures, light and colours will leave you in awe!

Itinerar

Ziua 1 · Entire South Coast

Seljalandsfoss waterfall

40 min Intrarea inclusă

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

30 min

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

o oră

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

15 min

A short photo stop in this seaside town or a chance to grab some snacks from the supermarket in town.
Fjadrargljufur Canyon

45 min

This almost unpronounceable canyon is a stunning place for a walk to viewpoints for stunning photos.
Skaftafell National Park

Trecere fără oprire

We pass through Skaftafell National Park where you will get views of Iceland's highest mountains and its enormous glaciers.

Overnight at secluded local accommodation. All rooms have private bathrooms. Breakfast is included.

Ziua 2 · Glacier & Ice Cave Adventure

Jokulsarlon

45 min

The famed iceberg filled lagoon of Vatnajökull National Park is a sight that you will never forget.
Vatnajokull Glacier

3 ore

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, and go for a short hike on the glacier
Fellsfjara

45 min

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.
Oprirea 4

Trecere fără oprire

We pass through the enormous moss covered lava fields of Eldhraun on our way back to Reykjavik. We will stop at one of our favorite restaurants on our way back to Reykjavik for a late lunch / early dinner.

WHAT TO BRING

Waterproof jacket and pants because even on warm days, it’s best to stay dry at all times. It can rain, even in winter. Denim jeans or cotton are NOT suitable to wear on the glacier. Denim gets wet and then cold very quickly.
You MUST have sturdy waterproof hiking boots for the glacier hike. No sneakers. If you do not have boots then you can hire from us but please get in contact to do so.
Layers of clothing, we often get all 4 seasons in one day.
We do make stops to allow you to stock up on some snacks and drinks along the way if you do not have any. Lunch is not included but we do stop at the Black Sand Beach Restaurant, so plenty of time to buy something to eat.
Please minimise luggage you bring on this two day tour.

PICKUP & DROP-OFF

Please inform us of where you are staying in Reykjavik. New restrictions within Reykjavik means buses have to pick up from designated points. We cannot pickup from AirBnB addresses. We will inform you of the nearest pick up point if you tell us where you are staying.
Pick up time for the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon 2 Day tour is at 8:30 am from your chosen location. There may be other people being picked up from different locations in Reykjavik though, so if we are a little past 8:30 am then don’t worry, we’re on our way.
Drop off time: It’s a long two days and for good reason, we squeeze in a lot. We aim to be back at your drop off point before 08:30pm on Day 2, but many things can affect that time so please don’t worry if we are a little late returning. It’s either for safety reasons or to give you the best experience. We will stop for dinner on the way back to Reykjavik.

Again, If there is anything not covered here or in our FAQ’s online then get in contact with us. We love hearing from you before your trip. We look forward to meeting you and showing you around this amazing country. Let the excitement build as this is going to be an amazing two days that you will not forget!
