"SOUTH OF ICELAND FULL-DAY TOUR + SNOWMOBILE TO THE MÝRDALSJÓKULL GLACIER" Private Tour
Highlights:
- Seljalandsfoss waterfall: a stunning cascade that drops 60 meters into a pool below. You can walk behind the waterfall and enjoy the view from a different perspective.
- Eyjafjallajokull volcano and glacier: a famous site of the 2010 eruption that disrupted air travel across Europe. You can see the ash-covered glacier and the crater from a distance or take a helicopter tour for a closer look.
- Skogafoss waterfall: one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland, with a width of 25 meters and a height of 60 meters. You can climb up to the top of the waterfall or walk along the river to see more cascades.
- Dyrholaey sea cliff: a dramatic rock formation that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. You can see the natural arch, the lighthouse, and the puffins that nest on the cliff.
- Reynisfjara Black Beach: a striking black sand beach with basalt columns, sea stacks, and caves. You can admire the contrast between the dark sand and the white waves, but be careful of the strong currents and sneaker waves.
- Vik village: a charming coastal town with colorful houses, a church, and a wool center. You can shop for local handicrafts, enjoy some Icelandic cuisine, and learn about the history and culture of the area.
- Solheimajokull glacier: a part of the larger Myrdalsjokull ice cap that covers the Katla volcano. You can hike on the glacier, explore the ice caves, or try some ice climbing with a guide.
- The plane wreck at Solheimasandur: a haunting sight of an abandoned US Navy plane that crashed in 1973. You can walk or take a shuttle bus to the wreckage and take some photos of the surreal scene.
- Myrdalsjokull snowmobile tour: an exhilarating way to experience the glacier and the volcano. You can ride a snowmobile across the snow-covered landscape and enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains and the sea.
- Glacier Walk: an easy and fun activity that lets you walk on the ice with crampons and an ice axe. You can learn about the glacier's formation, movement, and features from an expert guide.
