Itinerary
We meet at the airport at 9.35am for our LOT Airlines flight departing at 12.05pm and flying to Reykjavik via Warsaw. On arrival at Reykjavik at 00.10am, we are transferred to our Hotel Skuggi in the city centre of this beautiful city, which has a lot of character, and is known for its many colours, museums, buildings, and beautiful surroundings.
Following breakfast, we will take off to the South Coast, a unique day tour, in sight of massive glaciers, beautiful waterfalls. We will start by visiting Hjálparfoss, the two stepped waterfall that cascades down into a large plunge pool surrounded by unique basalt rock formations. Afterwards, will proceed to Seljalandsfoss one of the most famous waterfalls seen in Iceland’s adverts. This powerful waterfall cascades into a pretty meadow, having a path running behind the curtain of water, which makes it one of the top attractions as it allows you to walk behind it and able to take unique photos. Afterwards will proceed to our Hotel Vik located in Vik, for check-in and dinner (included).
After breakfast, we will start our excursion by visiting Svartifoss, a waterfall fed by ice-cold meltwater from the Svinafellsjokull glacier and tumbles down 20 metres over a cliff. This waterfall well known for its basalt column formations is accessible by a hike of 1.5 km (3km round trip) through a well-maintained trail with moderate uphill sections. Along the way, before reaching Svartifoss we are presented with a smaller waterfall and several viewing platforms. We will then proceed to Jökulsárlón, Iceland’s most famous glacier lagoon which presents an amazing scene, seeing broken icebergs from the glacier, some of which are several stories high, drifting out to the sea and washed up on the nearby shore. We will have the opportunity to take the Amphibian boat tour (extra), which is an unforgettable experience, as you will go round and very close to the huge icebergs. If lucky, might also be able to see some seals. The way these icebergs glisten against the black sands, hence this place has been nicknamed the Diamond Beach. Those who will not join the Amphibian boat, can spend more time at the black beach. Later in the afternoon, we will proceed to Fjarðárgljúfur, where we will have the opportunity to hike in the magnificent Icelandic nature. We will later proceed to our Hotel Vik in Vik, where we will also be served dinner (included).
After breakfast, our excursion will take us to Reynisfjara Beach, which lies along the open sea of the North-Atlantic ocean that brings powerful waves up the coast. The beach is in a lovely setting of sea stacks, columnar basalt and glaciers. It is covered with black volcanic ash and dark rocks, hence its name ‘The Black Sand Beach’. Another stop will be Skogafoss, which is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a width of 25 metres and drop of 60m. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single of double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. Later in the afternoon we will visit the Blue Lagoon, which is the place where the powers of geothermal seawater create transformational spa journeys. We will have enough time to relax in the natural warm murky blue lagoon. Entrance (included in the price) includes a drink of our choice at the pool bar, face musk and a towel. We will then drive to Reykjavik, where we will check-in hotel and afterwards join the tour leader for a guided walking tour of Reykjavik, taking in major highlights such as Hallgrimskirkja Church (exterior), the city lake and Town Hall, the Parliament building (exterior), the Sun Voyager sculpture, and the Harpa Concert Hall. Note: Eruption of volcanoes close to the Blue Lagoon may impede us from visiting the lagoon, in which case we will book in a similar lagoon offering similar experience
After breakfast we will go for our excursion, the Golden Circle, which is the most popular day trip in Iceland. We will start by visiting Thingvellir National Park, which is a UNESCO world heritage site, part of the Atlantic Ocean Ridge that runs through Iceland, where one can see the consequences of the erosion of the earth’s crust in the gorges and cracks in this area. We will then proceed to the second stop the Haukadalur Geothermal Valley (Geysir), which is one of the most impressive geological sights in the country where you can see the power of earth’s geothermal activity up close. This valley is filed with hot springs and boiling mud pot. Third stop is the beautiful Gullfoss Waterfall, a two-tiered waterfall with a total cumulative height of 32 metres, being the largest volume waterfall in Europe. In our last stop we will be visiting Kerid Crater, a stunning volcanic crater lake. The crater is filled with milky blue-green water, surrounded by stark black and deep red slopes. We will return to our hotel in Reykjavik, where we will have free time to go for dinner (extra) and walk around the city.
Following breakfast we will go for our Snaefellsnes Peninsula excursion, located on the West side of Iceland. This peninsula offers one of the most iconic sights of Kirkjufell, where TV show Games of Thrones was filmed, which looks like a church tower from certain angles. We will enjoy the view of Arnarstapi coastal cliffs. We will visit Stykkisholmnur a picturesque fishing village, known for its harbour where people traded goods since the 1500s, most of whom were fishermen. We will also visit Hellnar, a charming fishing village with few clusters of old houses and buildings. Last stop will be Budir, a small hamlet consisting of a small church situated in the lava field of Budahraun.
Today will be a free day for optional activities, one may join a whale-watching excursion from the Old Harbour (extra), visit attractions like the Perlan Planetarium (extra) & Museum or the National Museum of Iceland (extra), or explore independently around Tjörnin Lake or try the FlyOver Iceland experience (extra). Later in the evening, we will check-out of the hotel and transfer to the airport for our return flight to Malta via Warsaw. The flight departs from Reykjavik at 00.45am early Sunday morning and we will arrive in Malta at 11.05am.
