You should arrive at the airport to take your flight to Reykjavik from your selected airport. On arrival, you will be taken to your selected hotel. The rest of the day will be spent at leisure, allowing you time to settle into the hotel and start exploring if you wish.
Today we explore Iceland’s delightfully diverse south west shoreline firstly climbing through a remarkable lunar like landscape of multi-coloured lava plateaux, through the Threngli Pass and descending across the sparkling River Olufsa – famous for its excellent salmon. Some of Iceland’s prettiest landscapes now lie before you as we pass farms and charming villages set amongst pleasant pastures – keep an eye open for the exceptionally hardy Icelandic horses. To the north you can see Myrdalsjokull and Eyjfjalla Glaciers - the latter famous for its volcano below, which infamously halted Europe’s air traffic in 2010. We head for two of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss tumbles ribbon-like over a great overhanging lava cliff whilst Skogafoss is one of the country’s highest, plunging some 60 metres in an impressive shower of shimmering spray. The natural wonders continue as we approach the imposing wall of ice forming the snout of the immense Solheimajokull Glacier. You may notice a sulphurous hint in the air here, as the waters emanating from the glacier here are called “Stinking River” due to the sulphurous acid content absorbed from the hot geothermal rocks beneath your feet. Next we travel to Reynisfjara, close to Iceland’s southernmost point, to see the famous black-sand beach. Depending on the time of the year, you may be lucky enough to spot the renowned Atlantic puffin colonies.
