## Itinerary

### Day 1: Discover the Iconic Sites of Iceland’s Golden Circle

Your 3-day tour kicks off with a pick-up from Reykjavik and a scenic drive past Mount Esja toward Þingvellir National Park , the first stop on the Golden Circle . This UNESCO World Heritage Site is packed with history, being the site of the first democratic parliament, Alþingi. Here, you can even stand with one foot on each continent, as it sits along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. Next, we head to the Haukadalur Geothermal Area , home to the original Geysir . Watch Strokkur erupt with boiling water up to 30 meters high every few minutes, surrounded by hissing hot springs and steam vents. We'll wrap up the day at Gullfoss , Iceland's iconic waterfall, where glacial meltwater plunges dramatically into a ravine. Afterward, we'll visit Kerið , a colorful volcanic crater with a serene blue lake. Finally, we'll stop in Hveragerði , a town famous for its geothermal hot springs, perfect for a relaxing soak.

### Day 2: South Coast Waterfalls & Black Beach of Reynisfjara

After a good night's rest, we hit the road to Iceland's stunning South Coast. On the way, we'll pass picturesque towns and fertile farmland, and you might catch sight of famous Icelandic horses. Keep an eye out for volcanic peaks like Hekla , Katla , and Eyjafjallajökull , and the Westman Islands, where a volcanic eruption rocked the town in 1973. We'll first stop at Seljalandsfoss , a breathtaking 60-meter waterfall. You can walk behind it for an unforgettable view, especially at sunrise or sunset. Next, we'll visit the hidden Gljúfrabúi Waterfall, tucked in a canyon. Its peaceful, magical vibe makes it a must-see. Then, we head to Skógafoss , another iconic 60-meter waterfall. Climb the 370 steps for a panoramic view and maybe catch a rainbow! The adventure continues with a glacier hike at Sólheimajökull . Equipped with gear and a guide, you'll explore ice tunnels and crevasses, feeling the glacier's immense power. Our last stop is Reynisfjara , a dramatic black sand beach with stone sea stacks, basalt columns, and powerful waves. Just remember to stay safe and enjoy the raw beauty of the place!

### Day 3: South-East Expedition, Glacier Lagoon & Fjaðrárgljúfur River Canyon

On day three of your South Coast tour, we travel into Vatnajökull National Park , Iceland's largest. Our first stop is the village of Vík , followed by the stunning Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon , a 100-meter deep gorge with lush moss and a winding river. We'll also visit Hofskirkja , the last turf church of its kind in Iceland, nestled in a scenic landscape. The day's highlight is the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach . The lagoon's icebergs drift towards the sea, while Diamond Beach sparkles with ice fragments on black sand. After soaking in the sights, we'll stop in Vík for a break before heading back to Reykjavik. Optional: A thrilling glacial safari boat tour through the icebergs!
