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

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). At your hotel there are also geothermal hot tubs - be sure to pack your swimwear and end your day in the famous Icelandic geothermal pools! There is no better way to enhance your evening than soaking in warm waters full of minerals!

Day 2: South Coast of Iceland
The second day will start with a drive across the South Coast of Iceland to reach your first destination: Seljalandsfoss waterfall and the nearby hidden waterfall of Gljufrabui. Continue to Skógafoss waterfall to watch the Skógá River fall 60 meters in powerful cascades. After seeing three stunning waterfalls, it is time to walk on the world-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 Vatnajökull 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 expedition. Equipped with all the necessary safety equipment you will ride in the super jeep taking you to the stunning natural ice cave lying underneath the biggest glacier in Europe - Vatnajökull. The Blue Ice Cave really shows the tremendous forces of Icelandic nature, as these caves form 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.
