From Reykjavik: 3-Day South Coast Winter Tour with Ice Cave

1. From Reykjavik: 3-Day South Coast Winter Tour with Ice Cave

Explore the geothermal and frozen landscapes of the south coast of Iceland on a 3-day tour. Marvel at amazing waterfalls and explore an ice cave. Be wowed by black lava sand beaches, walk on the shores of Glacier Lagoon, and feel the thrill as you encounter spectacular geothermal features. Day 1: Golden Circle & Kerið Volcanic Crater On the first day you will visit all the best-known places in Iceland that make the Golden Circle Route: Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Golden Waterfall and Haukadalur Geothermal area that is home to Strokkur Geyser. Before heading to your lodging for the night you will also visit the volcanic crater lake of Kerið. When spending the night in a lovely village of Hveragerði you can walk around Geothermal Park or by Reykjafoss Waterfall searching for Northern Lights (if weather conditions are favorable). Day 2: South Coast of Iceland Second day will start with drive across the South Coast of Iceland to reach your first destination - Seljalandsfoss waterfall and nearby hidden waterfall of Gljufrabui. Continue to Skógafoss waterfall to watch the Skógá River fall 60 meters at the powerful cascades. After seeing three stunning waterfalls comes time to walk on the worlds-famous Black Sand Beach of Reynisfjara. Dark volcanic sands stretch as far as the eye can see, with mighty Atlantic waves crashing into the Reynisdrangar, fingers of volcanic rock that tower into the sky just offshore. Second night, this time spent in remote location in South-East Iceland, brings more chances to spot aurora. Day 3: Ice Caving Expedition and Glacier Lagoon This day takes you deep into the Vatnajokull National Park. Walk on shores of Glacier Lagoon and on ice scattered beach called Diamond. The highlight of the whole tour is an ice caving. Equipped with all the necessary safety equipment you will jump on the super jeep taking you to the stunning natural ice cave laying underneath the biggest glacier in Europe - Vatnajokull. The Blue Ice Cave really shows the tremendous forces of Icelandic nature, as they are formed naturally in glaciers when fresh water freezes in the plunging winter temperatures. New caves are created every year as the glaciers freeze and melt and refreeze into different shapes. On that day you will also stop by a traditional turf church and take another look at basalt columns when having a refreshment break in the village of Vik.

Hello, I was in Iceland on January 9, 2023 and I booked the Glacier Lagoon tour. First of all, I have to say that I have never had such a good tour guide. It's a very long day, but it flies by. Despite the icy roads, our bus driver mastered everything with ease. If I would do it again immediately, I have to come back in the summer and hopefully do this tour with the same tour guide.

Monika and Tomek provided us with the most amazing experience that all who visit Iceland MUST book onto. I can’t thank either of them enough for the places we’ve seen and the memories made! Never a dull moment during Monikas sometimes comedic talks and interesting music choices!

We went on the south coast and sky lagoon tour on Monday 13th February. Alan was our guide, he was brilliant, his knowledge on the history of Iceland was amazing, he also gave tips of where to eat in Reykjavik. We had a fantastic day despite the weather!

Our guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable and made our South Coast excursion very enjoyable. Not only was he watching out for us due to the swelling waves at Reynisfjara Beach, he ran over to a mother and child to prevent them possibly being swept out.

It was organized well and the guides were wonderful. Loved the locations and time was sufficient at every stop. Accommodations were good.
