At 09:00, meet your tour guide, who will show the group the highlights of Iceland’s exciting capital. Then we head out to the Reykjanes Peninsula with its hot springs, mountains, moonlike landscape, bird cliffs, lighthouses and fishing villages. In the afternoon, we bathe in the Blue Lagoon. Drive along the south coast to arrive in the village of Hella, where we stay for two nights in simple cottages. There is an option to upgrade to studio rooms at the Stracta Hotel in Hella. We hear about the Northern Lights from our tour guide in the evening. So, naturally, you are out in the garden waiting for the Northern Lights once darkness falls.

Day 3 : South Iceland with optional Glacier Hike
Today we travel along the south coast and reach the area beneath the Eyjafjallajökull volcano and glacier. Our first stop is at Seljalandsfoss waterfall, and we visit the Skógar folk museum of early Modern Iceland with its turf houses. At noon, we see the Skógarfoss waterfall.
You can book and pay for an optional glacier walk on the Sólheimajökull glacier tongue for a special GJ Travel discount in the afternoon.
Suppose you book a trip without the glacier hike. In that case, the tour continues further south, where you walk on the famous Black Lava Beach at Reynisfjara and observe the Cap of Dyrhólaey and the Reynisdrangar Sea Cliffs before visiting the charming village of Vík. In the evening there is another presentation about the Northern Lights. If the night is clear, you might see the Northern Lights swirling in a wild and carefree dance across the heavens in dramatic shapes, colours, patterns and sizes.
