Highlights:
- Seljalandsfoss waterfall: a spectacular 60-meter-high waterfall that you can walk behind and enjoy the view from a different perspective.
- Skogafoss waterfall: one of the largest and most impressive waterfalls in Iceland, with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. You can climb up to the top for a stunning panorama or hike along the river upstream.
- Reynisfjara Black Beach: a dramatic black sand beach with basalt columns, sea stacks and caves. Be careful of the powerful waves and currents, and admire the views of the Dyrhólaey peninsula and the Reynisdrangar rock formations.
- Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon: a mesmerizing glacial lake filled with icebergs that calve from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. You can take a boat tour to get closer to the ice or watch the seals that often visit the lagoon.
- Diamond Beach: a sparkling beach where the icebergs from Jökulsárlón wash up on the shore and create a contrast with the black sand. You can walk along the beach and see the ice chunks in different shapes, sizes and colors.
- Fjadrárgljúfur Canyon: a stunning canyon carved by a glacial river over thousands of years. You can hike along the edge of the canyon or walk on the riverbed and enjoy the scenery of green moss, waterfalls and rock formations.
- The iconic Games of Thrones 'Dragonglass Cave': a filming location for the popular TV show, where Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen shared a romantic moment. The cave is actually an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap in Europe, and you can explore it with a guide and special equipment.
