Tour of Scenic Southern Iceland

Icebergs, hot springs and volcanoes abound in Iceland. Join this tour to discover them and so much more of the magnificent natural landscape that surrounds them. One of our most popular tours is operated during the winter in special 4wd trucks or Landrovers. The feeling is extraordinary when traveling in such a vehicle with a professional guide leading the way.

Arrival in Reykjavik and transfer to the hotel on your own.

Start the day by driving to Thingvellir National Park, where the ancient parliament met for centuries on the shores of Iceland's largest lake. Continue through the farmlands to the thermal area of the great Geysir and Strokkur spouting hot springs. Last but not least visit Gullfoss, known as the "Golden Waterfall". Dinner and overnight stay in Fludir village.

Drive along the south shore, passing various places of beauty and interest, such as Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls and the black glacial-outwash sands. An interesting stop will be made at Skogar, with its beautiful collection of old turf farms and buildings that have been restored to its original state. Onwards to the impressive ice-wall of the Solheimajokull glacier, that has created the stunning coastal line of the South. Onwards to Reynisfjara beach, viewing the extraordinary rock formations and thundering waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

Dinner and an overnight stay in the small village of Kirkjubaejarklaustur.

Skaftafell National Park is one of Iceland's most outstanding areas of natural beauty dominated by the glacier Vatnajokull, Europe's largest ice cap. Continue to Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon where you can enjoy a breathtaking sight of floating icebergs on the fantastic 180m deep glacial lagoon. Back to the hotel for dinner and overnight.

Explore the magnificent Fjaroarargljufur canyon in the morning. Drive along the south coast, heading to the Blue Lagoon for a refreshing dip in the warm, mineral-rich waters (entrance not included). Return to Reykjavi­k, where the evening is at your own leisure.
