2 Day Summer Minibus Tour: Join us on an unforgettable two-day excursion along the Icelandic south coast to the breathtaking glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón, where seals are swimming between the icebergs and the white of the ice mixes up with the blue of the sky. Your eyes will also meet with powerful waterfalls, volcanic sand beaches and the biggest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull, where you will have the chance to explore while hiking.
The first stop is at Seljalandsfoss waterfall where you can walk behind the tumbling water flow and feel the vibrations of the water hitting the ground. Thirsty? Just open your mouth. Right next to it is the waterfall Gljúfrabúi which snugly tucked in a gorge hidden from most. Gljúfrabúi actually means Canyon Dweller in English. To reach the waterfall, you must first test your balance by bouncing on rocks lying in the river bed. A failure means instant foot wetness and a good laugh by your co-travellers. Skógafoss Prepare to meet the pearl of the South Coast, Skógafoss waterfall. Majestically tucked in a wide gorge, the waterfall tumbles down 60 metres from up above a cliff into a small river, producing a cloud of mist and spray that rainbows like to dance in during sunshine.
Try to warm up for the glacier by running up the 527 steps to the top… Your guide will be timing you! Reynisfjara – Black Sand Beach Heading further east, we visit the black sand beach of Reynisfjara where the Atlantic coastline presents massive waves hitting the unique basalt columns in the cliffs above the sand. Rock pillars in the water and the cliffs of Dýrhólaey are seen in the distance. This area of the south is also a paradise for bird lovers, as Puffins and dozens of other unique species nest on top of these cliffs in the summertime from June to August.
Heading off day nr. 2 is Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, a 200m deep glacial lake fed by Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Europe’s largest glacier. Fed enormous icebergs all year round the lagoon is usually filled with ice that floats south. Tröll Expeditions will give you the opportunity to book a boat ride between the icebergs during summer time and get a closer look of the millenary ice. If boating is not your thing, then we walk alongside the glacier lagoon enjoying the magnificent views and dead silence of Icelandic nature. Diamond Beach On the other side of the road the icebergs from Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon float into the Atlantic Ocean where they are quickly thrown back to shore by the tide and winds.
This black sand beach is full of smaller ice rocks in all shapes and sizes, sparkling like diamonds in the daylight. The ice itself comes in all shades of white and blue forming beautiful contrasts, guaranteed to make your Instagram account pop! Glacier Hike To complete our perfect adventure we will hike an outlet glacier spawning from the one of the largest glaciers in the country. After meeting our skilled glacier guides, we gear up with safety equipment: helmets, harnesses, crampons, and ice axes. Then, we embark on a 1.5-hour hike across the ice.

We will pay a visit to the powerful guardians of the southern highlands, the Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, and the lesser known Gljúfrabúi which is partially hidden behind an enormous cliff whose dominant presence lends impressive atmosphere to the scenery. First stop: Seljalandsfoss. Bring a raincoat and you’ll be able to make the short hike behind the falls. The scene behind the fall and the trembling ground from the power of the falling water makes for an automatic photo blockbuster!
Further east along the coast is Skógafoss waterfall. Skógafoss is an incredibly picturesque sight: tucked in a little gorge, the river Skógá tumbles down a 60 meter high cliff before continuing down the banks towards the Atlantic Ocean. Alongside the gorge, a staircase can take you to the shelf above the waterfall for stunning views. If the sky is clear you might see Vestmannaeyjar on the horizon.
We will hike an outlet glacier spawning from the largest glacier in the country, Vatnajökull. A spectacular experience and an opportunity to learn more about this breathtaking natural phenomenon. Skaftafell area has been used as a filming location for many famous TV shows and films, such as Batman Begins, Game of Thrones.
First stop on day two is the glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón. Jökulsárlón is a 200m deep glacier water lagoon fed by the melting of Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Europe’s largest glacier Vatnajökull. Enormous icebergs also fall from Breiðamerkurjökull all year round so the lagoon is usually filled with ice blocks that floats south towards the Atlantic Ocean.
On the other side of the road, the icebergs from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon float into the Atlantic Ocean where they are quickly thrown back to shore by the tide and winds. This black sand beach is full of smaller ice blocks in all shapes and sizes, sparkling like diamonds in the daylight. The ice itself comes in all shades of white and blue forming beautiful contrasts.
Next up is the black beach of Reynisfjara, iconic for its perfectly shaped hexagonal basalt columns and smooth black boulders. There, the Atlantic ocean crashes on land in large, powerful waves, that tend to act innocent until they rush unexpectedly onto land with a roar and a hiss, threatening to yank the legs from under whoever is in their way. Looming ver the beach are the great Reynisdrangar rock formations, patient giants of the olden days, guardians of the coast.
