4 Day Iceland Tour

Snaefellsnes peninsula

We start our south coast Iceland tour in Reykjavík, where our guide and the rest of the group will be waiting for us in the minibus. We follow the road until we arrive at the Snaefellsnes peninsula and our first stop, Ytri Tunga, where a colony of seals hidden behind the fishermen's cottages awaits us on the beach. Our second stop has a more mysterious air, Búdakirkja, the black church of Búdir, stands alone in the empty wastelands of Iceland.

Arnarstapi cliffs

Along the coast of Snaefellsnes, we stop at the Arnarstapi cliffs, where the clash of the waves has eroded the volcanic rock, leaving a spectacular landscape. Nearby stands Lóndrangar, even higher basalt cliffs of up to 75 meters. Then we will go down to the black sand beach of Djúpalónssandur. We do not recommend you to enter the sea in winter, but you can see huge stones and the remains of a shipwrecked fishing boat.

Our next stop will give us the opportunity to better observe the entire landscape of the peninsula. There is no better way to do it than going up the Saxhóll volcanic crater. To finish the day, we will visit the Kirkjufell mountain and the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall. Take the opportunity to take pictures of its icy landscape 😉.

Golden Circle

Surely you've heard of the Golden Circle tour, the most famous tour in Iceland that you're about to walk. The first of the three stops on this circuit is the geothermal area of Geysir and as you may have guessed, it's time to see geysers. Strokkur erupts up to 35 meters high and only every 5 minutes.

The second stop is Gullfoss, known as the "Golden Waterfall" because of the color of its waters as they fall and stir the soil. When traveling Iceland's Golden Circle tour in winter, you will have the opportunity to see the three levels of this waterfall's fall fighting against the ice. 

Our last stop is Thingvellir National Park, situated between two tectonic plates and with unique geographical features. Also, for an additional cost, you will have the opportunity to snorkel between two tectonic plates in Silfra.

Seljalandsfoss

A magical third day awaits us with a South coast and waterfalls tour in Iceland. With a fall of 60 meters and a hidden cave when crossing the water, Seljalandsfoss in winter offers unique photographs.  We follow the road until we reach the Skógafoss waterfall, which breaks the Skóga River on its way to the Atlantic.

In winter, conditions are optimal for a blue ice cave and northern lights tour in Iceland. Prepare the equipment and follow the guide's directions through the ice cave under the Vatnajökull glacier, with color combinations hard to believe. The light piercing through the blue ice offers you photographs that you will not be able to take anywhere else. During our route through southern Iceland in winter, we will stay in specially selected hotels to be able to hunt Northern Lights at night.

Jökulsárlón lagoon

On the last of the 4 days in Iceland during winter, we will reach the edge of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. Large icebergs and water from the glacier heading towards the Atlantic Ocean feed the Jökulsárlón lagoon, more than 200 meters deep. Due to wind and tide, the ice blocks that pass through the lagoon, return to the shore to end up on Diamond Beach. The black sand of the beach, covered with ice blocks of different shapes and sizes, sparkles in the daylight, offering an incredible blue, black and white color contrast. 

Our last stop is the black beach of Reynisfjara. Sets of hexagonal basalt columns form cliffs above the black sand beach. To finish our south shore of Iceland in winter adventure, we return to Reykjavík. Although, the photos and memories of this trip will remain with us forever.
