Itinerary
& Highlights |
| |
Day 1 / Friday
On Friday morning we head out for an amazing visit to the Golden Circle. There we will see the Geysir hot spring area, the Gullfoss waterfall and Þingvellir national park. We dine at Drumbo basecamp before we raft the beautiful and exciting Hvítá river. Afterwards you
can relax in the hot tubs or sauna. Finally the rafting guides will serve you fire grilled Icelandic lamb with all the trimmings for dinner before driving you back to Reykjavik.
Day 2 / Saturday
On Saturday morning we head along the South Coast towards the glaciers. Arriving at Sólheimjökull glacier we gear up for a glacier hike. Sólheimajökull is a crawling glacier and is therefore rugged, cracked and utterly breathtaking. After about an hour of glacier hiking we stop at some of the many ice walls. There you can, under the supervision of experts, try your hand at climbing the ice. On the way back to Reykjavík we make a short stop at the Skógafoss waterfall.
Day 3 / Sunday
On Sunday morning with an whale watching excursion from Reykjavik harbor. In the afternoon we continue our exploration of the open sea with our second adventure, kayaking on the spectacular Hvalfjordur fjord. The kayaking is a stoic and relaxing trip in one of the deep fjords of the North-Atlantic Ocean.

Friday: 9:00 AM for the Golden circle & rafting, back in RVK at 21:00.
Saturday: 8:30 AM for the glacier trip. Back in RVK at 18:00.
