Trip Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- •
Discover the coastline of the Westman Islands where puffin colonies nest on sea cliffs. Then hike Eldfell Volcano for panoramic views of the archipelago and feel the lingering heat from the 1973 eruption that nearly destroyed the town.
- •
Strap on crampons and join a guided hike on the otherworldly surface of Sólheimajökull Glacier. Trek deep crevasses, through caves and over ancient ice formations to see the vivid blues and whites sculpted by centuries of movement.
- •
Hike past the Djupagilsfoss waterfall and many steaming vents in this geothermal landscape to the Reykjadalur Thermal River. At the end of the hike is a boardwalk along the thermal river – maybe spend some time soaking in the warm water.
- •
Explore southern Iceland’s most dramatic sites like Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, then take in the miles of black sand coastlines at Dyrholaey.
- •
Join a guided kayak tour in the sleepy fishing village of Stokkesyri. Paddle through the narrow canals and out to a sea lagoon where you might see a curious seal playing in the water nearby.
