Pick up at your accommodation

We start the experience with pickup directly at your hotel or the nearest bus stop, according to your preference. We adapt the schedule to weather conditions and the group's needs to ensure the best possible day. Before leaving, we will hold a brief briefing where we will give you recommendations on clothing, weather information and safety tips, so you can enjoy the tour with complete peace of mind.

Rest stop

On the way to our first destination, we will make a strategic stop so you can relax, use the restrooms, buy a snack or enjoy a light breakfast. It is the perfect time to recharge before starting the adventure.

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

Our first stop will be this impressive waterfall, famous for the possibility of walking behind its curtain of water (when conditions allow). A unique place for unforgettable photos and connection with nature.

We arrive at the famous black sand beach, known for its basalt columns and powerful Atlantic waves. Here we will take a break for lunch while you enjoy one of the most impressive landscapes in the country.

We end the tour in this charming village. If time permits, you will have the opportunity to visit one of its local shops to buy souvenirs and take home a memory of this incredible experience.

After a day full of unforgettable landscapes, we begin our return to Reykjavik. The estimated return time may vary depending on weather and traffic conditions, but we generally arrive in the late afternoon/evening. We will drop you off comfortably at your hotel, accommodation or at the previously coordinated bus stop.
