Itinerary

  • Skogafoss

    Our first stop is Skogafoss Waterfall. It is one of the most iconic waterfalls in the country and was even featured in Game of Thrones. His 60m drop will keep you speechless for sure. Your guide will tell you all about the hidden treasure chest behind the waterfall and with some luck, you will be the first one to find it.

    30 minutes

  • Solheimajokull Glacier

    Now it's time for the highlight of the tour. Besides waterfalls, Iceland is also known for glaciers. 11% of the country is covered by ice. Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier coming down the fourth biggest glacier of Iceland, called Mýrdalsjökull. We put on our safety gear and start our hike on the glacier. The hike is approximately 2,5h long with 1,5h spend on the glacier. Please note that good hiking boots are mandatory for the glacier hike. We will provide you with all the necessary gear (excluding boots) but full mobility is required in order to have a safe trip on the glacier. All our guides have a lot of experience with glacier hikes and they will make a final decision whether you are able to participate or not when we arrive at the glacier. Please remember that if a guide refuses to let you go on the glacier, the decision is made with your safety in mind.

    2 hours 30 minutes

  • Reynisfjara Beach

    Now it's time to hit the road again. After a short ride, we stop at Reynisfjara black sand beach. The beach was once rated as one of the 10 most beautiful places in the world and as soon as you put a foot on the beach, you will know why. Basalt columns and the well known Reynisdrangar rock formations await you. Your guide will tell you all the interesting stories and sagas that are connected to this place.

    30 minutes

  • Seljalandsfoss

    Heading back in the direction of Reykjavik, our last stop will be the ever-popular Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The waterfall lays underneath the well known Eyfjallajokull, the volcano that erupted in 2010. If conditions allow, we take a walk behind the waterfall’s curtain before paying a visit to its nearby cousin Gljúfrabúi, found hidden from view in the mountainside.

Relaxed Roberto

Published on Feb, 2025

Our first big tour of the trip was the glacier hike and south coast trip. This was a daunting first trip but our tour guide Roberto put our minds at ease. Super charismatic and relaxed. Full of knowledge and passionate about the ecosystem. He was able to guide us and teach us at the same time. We had a great time and wish him the best with his future endeavors, whatever and wherever they may be!

Where games of thrones was filmed

Published on Feb, 2025

The land where games of thrones was filmed. Our driver Klaus was informative, funny and very helpful. It was a full day excursion and well worth it. Going from Reykjavík and seeing the waterfalls going hiking on the glacier as well as the black sand Beach was awesome.

Great tour!

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a fantastic time on this tour. Roberto was funny and could answer any questions we asked along the way.

Fantastic day

Published on Feb, 2025

Great tour with Michal

Published on Feb, 2025

So much to tell you in a very very positive way. Our tour started with a great tour guide Michal. Who is very professional passionate and very knowledgeable of his work. OMG the Glacier tour out of this world would recommend doing it . The waterfalls a must to do. I would recommend this tour for anyone that feels that it can’t get done with especially people like me with back issues. No problema Michal would adjust the glacier tour to your needs. Fantastic amazing tour a must while visiting Iceland . I would use the Holidaytours.is again.
