Seljalandsfoss waterfall

Gljufrabui Waterfalls
A hidden waterfall,which most visitors miss. We’ll tell you where to find it! It is not easy, as it is hidden in a cave
Skogafoss
Skogafoss is one of the most iconic waterfalls in the world, and even featured in “Game of Thrones”. Because of its south-facing position, it is often covered in rainbows as the 60-meter cascade of water produces a lot of spray! Skogafoss is one of the most popular sights in the country and it’s possible to climb to the top of the falls to see it from there too.
Solheimajokull Glacier
Solheimajokull is part of one of the largest glaciers in the country, Myrdalsjokull. Will take you to the viewing platform to soak in the spectacular view.
Dyrholaey
Our next stop is Dyrhólaey, which means “Door Hill Island”. It’s actually an impressive peninsula that stretches across several towering stacks and stone arches, overlooking the black sand beach at Reynisfjara. The views from here are marvelous in every direction.
Reynisfjara Beach
It is now time to visit the world-famous black sand beach at Reynisfjara, where beautifully-shaped basalt columns hug the cliffs, volcanic sands are pounded by powerful Atlantic waves and the starkly shaped sea stacks of the Reynisdrangar tower just offshore.

5.00Me and my friend did the two day tour about a month ago and we could have not asked for a better tour guide. I would say about half of the reason we had such a good time on all the stops was because of him he was so accommodating and knowledgeable about everything about Iceland and had many jokes. He also brought us to like a lot of things that weren’t listed, but we had time for on the way that we would’ve never had time to do unless he brought us he needs a pay raise for real. - YOO HOO
This is a wonderful tour...

5.00The overall experience was amazing despite the rainy weather. The crowd size was reasonable, we were able to stay on our schedule. Our tour guide, Gulli, was fun and humorous! If you’re a fan of Viking history, he is the guy! Literally a walking history book. I had such a good time on this tour. Would recommend it!
You gotta see this!

5.00Anastasia drove us both days and was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I love the lunch choices. We found food halls to be wonderful with great lamb and fish soup. We had plenty of time at each stop. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Two Day Tour is a Great Way to Get to Know Iceland!

5.00Our two day tour was wonderful especially day one with Christina. She was friendly, thoroughly explained Icelandic culture in a fun way and gave great suggestions for the remainder of our trip. Because of the icy and snowy roads we did not want to rent a car but wanted to see the top locations in Iceland. This tour covered them all and allowed us to really get to know Iceland with stops at 10 places with the comfort of having someone else drive. Would definitely recommend.
Perfect

5.00I found this trip really fun and fulfilling, and our tour guide is absolutely lovely.
Great two days exploring highlights of Iceland.

5.00This was a well paced well organised smooth tour. It is a combination of two tours where you will stay the first night away from the capital and join the next tour next day. However it is stress free with clear instructions. We loved all the places we visited. Although short day time, the timing of the tour is perfect where we came to the black sand beach for sunset which was magical. Both drivers we met were respectful, knowledgable and funny in their own ways. Few things to note is that, the guides will only give you istructions on what to see and how to see a particular place so always get your instructions cleared before stepping away to see something. Also travel light with small bags. The vehicles were clean and comfortable. The two day tour is a very good way to experience highlights of Iceland in a short period. Truely recommend this.
Great Taste of Iceland!

5.00This particular tour is 2 day tours combined so while we had the same tour guide both days, it could be 2 different tour guides. And it will be two different groups. But it was still great - it went everywhere you'd want to go, the bus was comfortable, the guide was great. Would recommend.
Iceland in two days!!!!
