South Iceland Winter Delights - Small Group Adventure

Please be ready for pick-up from your hotel by 8:30 am.

Today your driver-guide will  take you on a tour of the iconic Golden Circle. Your first stop is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During your visit, you’ll see the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart. 

Next, witness the active Stokkur geyser erupt into the air at the Geysir geothermal area. Then, continue to the legendary Gullfoss waterfall, which makes up the trio of natural attractions on this tour.

Afterward, visit the striking Kerið crater, known for its vibrant shades of red earth, green moss, and blue-water caldera lake. You can even walk down to the crater's bottom for a closer view. 

At the end of your trip, you have the option to add a visit to Hveragerði, known for its abundant geothermal activity. Here, you could experience a smaller version of Geysir and enjoy a relaxing dip in naturally heated waters

Get ready to explore South Iceland’s breathtaking coast, a region full of natural wonders. Your journey includes stops at 3 jaw-dropping waterfalls – Gljúfrabúi, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. At Seljalandsfoss, you can walk behind the curtain of water and see the surrounding landscapes from a different perspective. 

Visiting Iceland’s south coast isn’t complete without a stop to admire Reynisfjara, the country’s most famous black sand beach. Witness the dramatic clash of waves against volcanic formations like the Reynisdrangar sea stacks.

Continue your adventure as you venture further east into Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest national park. 

First, wander along Diamond Beach, where shards of sparkling ice are scattered across the dark sand. Afterward, explore the awe-inspiring Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, home to huge icebergs. 

The highlight of your day is a thrilling 3–hour expedition into a natural blue ice cave deep within a glacier (included). It’s a mesmerizing sight to see, with fantastic shapes in a range of colors.

After a quick stop at Hofskirkja church, you’ll head back to Reykjavík. On the way, admire the striking Eldhraun lava field before reaching Vík village, where you can snap pictures of stunning coastal views.

Transfer from Reykjavík to Keflavík International Airport (included).

When it’s time for your Iceland adventure to end, you’ll be picked up from your hotel by a shuttle bus in time for your flight. 

If you’re flying later in the day, you could add a visit to the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa on your way to the airport (optional, not included). What better way to end your trip than by soaking in the lagoon’s famous milky-blue waters?
