Iceland is known for its waterfalls, and today you’ll start to experience why. Beginning on the Southern coast, we visit the 197ft high Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. Its origin is a volcanic glacier, and name is derived from the Seljalands River it flows through. Skogafoss Waterfall flows directly from two glaciers, and Dyrholaey Cliffs drop into the sea, creating dramatic picturesque views. The Fjadrargljufur Canyon is also along Ring Road, and not to be missed. Be sure to bring your camera on this hike to capture the incredible views of rock, water, and natural ecosystem. ECOTOUR. Overnight is spent in the quaint and picturesque town of Vik.
A leisurely morning can be enjoyed relaxing at the hotel, grabbing a nice breakfast, or exploring the town of Vik. Around noon, we head further East, stopping for an easy yet incredibly scenic hike at the Fjadrargljufur Canyon. As the drive continues, the Jokulsarlon Iceberg Lagoon makes a perfect pitstop. Massive ice formations float in the crystal blue waters, reflecting the sky and land around. After enjoying time to soak in the scenery, take photos, and visit the gift shop, we return to Reykjavik to conclude our journey.
