Seljalandsfoss
You’ll be able to experience this waterfall right up close as it crashes off the side of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano from a height of 60 meters. During summer months you will be able to walk behind the 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.

5.00This 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!!!!

5.00Nice Travel is a well run machine! They are on time, VERY responsive to clients and deliver a really good product. GREAT value! We completed the 2-Day Highlights of Iceland Tour Package - "Intro to the Land of Ice and Fire" BUT there is one tour which stood out. That said, this two-day package was perfect and our guide for both days was Addie. He was really spectacular! He was very informative and kept things on track and offered some great suggestions that made great use of out time. If you are short on time this is the best way to see the real highlights outside of Reykjavík. These days are jammed packed with great sites and you wont be disappointed. We booked the two-day package rather than two single day tours in order to reduce travel time back to Reykjavík. This approach provides additional time for rest - it proved to be well worth it! Nice Travel booked us into "The Greenhouse Hotel", which was great. If I had to pick ONE tour I would go with Golden Circle over the South Coast of Iceland. Both tours are great! As I said, both are jammed packed and are long days which given you great value and an awesome experience. I liked the Golden Circle given it caps off a magnificent day with some well-deserved rest in the Hvammsvík Spa geothermal pools. This is a MUST DO. This location is majestic! The whole days is one great site after another: Gullfoss, Strokkur's Geyser, (Kerið) the volcanic crater and Þingvellir National Park. You really see the best!
Wonderful tour of this beautiful country!

5.00Took this tour with my elderly father and 2 cousins (one of which has knee issues) and LOVED it. We opted for the Hvammsvikk spa add-on and was totally worth it. Not crowded and super relaxing. Our tour guide Christina was top notch. So knowledgable, funny, considerate and kind. She really was hyper aware of my father's and cousin's issues and made accommodations that were subtle and kind. The hotel we stayed at was clean and restful. We didn't have a lot of time so this tour was a great intro into this beautiful country. I should also add that for the two of us that were mobile, it was a great adventure especially in the falls and volacano crater. Great trip for everyone.
Great experience!

5.00We had Vlad and Mika as our tour guides for our two days trip. Both were so funny and informative throughout the whole trip. Specific shout out to Vlad because our first day in Iceland we had some unexpected high winds of 45-50mph and it was a bit of a bumpy ride but he made sure we either slowed down or stopped to ensure we arrived safely to our next destination. Both drivers ensured we had a smooth transition to our hotel prior to pulling off. Hotel booking was very nice (looked recently renovated). But overall, generous timeframes for each stop, never felt lost on where to go or meet up, added extra opportunities for amazing views/experiences. Thank you Nice travel for starting our honeymoon off perfectly (weather aside lol)
Great 2 day tour
