Detailed itinerary:

Day 1 / Friday
On Friday 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 2 / Saturday
On Saturday 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 showers and sauna before heading back to Reykjavik.

Day 3 / Sunday
We start our Sunday morning with an exploration of the open sea with a whale watching adventure from the Reykjavík down town harbour. In the afternoon we head on to the Blue Lagoon for a relaxing afternoon. A perfect end to a great weekend!
