(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss waterfall has its source under the famous glacier (and volcano) Eyjafjallajökull. A 60-meter cascade flows down from a high, majestic cliff, creating a refreshing, moist mist that provides an unusual microclimate. In the summer you can walk thru the cave and see this waterfall from different perspective!
Gljufrabui Waterfalls
If you’re not afraid to get your feet wet, we’ll go into a nearby cave together, where we will find another unique waterfall. Unforgettable impressions! Partially hidden behind a rock wall, Gljufrabui Waterfall is called the hidden gem of Iceland’s south coast. Most tours skip it, but that’s… their loss. We will spend some time admiring the rushing cascade and picturesque moss-covered rocks. Along the way, we will discuss the phenomenon of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, the eruption of which in 2010 temporarily stopped flights over a large part of the world.
Skogafoss
On this section of the route, you will admire other picturesque waterfalls from the window of our car. They are also beautiful, just not as spectacular as the ones we stop at. Soon, we will reach Skogafoss, another 60m high waterfall on our way. You may recognize this one if you are a fan of Game of Thrones or Vikings, and if you climb about 600 steps to the top, you will find yourself where the iconic Landmannalaugar trekking begins. This is an 80-kilometer route included in the list of “top 20 dream trails” by National Geographic. We will share our experiences from this trek – we went through it more than once.
