Three Days of Iceland’s Greatest Sights: South Coast, Glacier Adventure & Golden Circle

Chase waterfalls, explore an ice cave, and discover the landscapes that make Iceland unforgettable. This three-day adventure brings together the South Coast and Golden Circle, with a visit to the famous DC-3 plane wreck and a combined four-hour glacier hike and ice cave tour.

Enjoy two nights in three-star accommodation with breakfast included, giving you time to experience more along the way.

Day 1: South Coast Waterfalls & the DC-3 Plane Wreck

Your adventure begins with pickup from a designated tour bus stop near your downtown Reykjavik accommodation or at a major hotel. Then head towards the South Coast, where mountains rise above open farmland and waterfalls tumble from towering cliffs.

Visit Seljalandsfoss, discover the tucked-away Gljúfrabúi, and feel the power of Skógafoss. Continue to the famous Black Sand Beach, where volcanic sands and Atlantic waves create a dramatic coastal scene.

Later, board a shuttle to the DC-3 plane wreck. Surrounded by an expanse of black sand, this weathered aircraft is a striking sight—and a memorable place to capture a few photographs.

After dinner, your guide will share the northern lights forecast. When darkness, weather, and aurora activity allow, you may be able to watch the lights from your hotel.

Rest at your three-star South Coast hotel, with breakfast included the next morning.

Day 2: Four Hours on the Ice, Jökulsárlón & Diamond Beach

Today’s highlight is a combined four-hour glacier hike and ice cave tour in the Jökulsárlón area. Step onto glacial ice and explore an ice cave on an adventure that brings you close to Iceland’s frozen wilderness.

Visit Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where icebergs drift across the water, then explore nearby Diamond Beach. Here, pieces of glacial ice wash onto black sand, sparkling in the changing light.

The journey also includes stops at the Eldhraun Lava Fields and the Bridge of the Volcanoes. If time permits, stop in Vík for a little more time in the South Coast’s best-known village.

Finish the day in Hveragerði, where your accommodation awaits. Settle in for the night and enjoy breakfast before your final day of exploring.

Day 3: The Golden Circle

Your final day usually follows the Golden Circle, a route filled with some of Iceland’s most celebrated natural sights.

Explore Thingvellir National Park, discover the steaming landscapes of the Geysir geothermal area, and watch the powerful waters of Gullfoss plunge into the canyon below. Visit Kerid Crater, where colourful volcanic slopes frame a crater lake—a memorable final stop before returning to Reykjavik.

Three Days. So Much to Discover.

From black sand shores and roaring waterfalls to glacial ice and geothermal wonders, this journey brings together an extraordinary variety of Icelandic scenery.

Book your three-day adventure and make room for the moments you’ll remember long after you’re home.
