Geysir
Show maps

The name already explains what we are about to admire: the word geyser in Icelandic means "emitting in streams" and that is exactly what we will see: boiling water "shot" tens of meters high at a constant rate!

Gullfoss waterfall
Show maps

Completing the Golden Circle is a majestic waterfall, Gullfoss , formed by two falls totaling 32 meters in height. Often, thanks to favourable climatic conditions, it is accompanied by a brilliant rainbow. We arrive on foot, with an easy dirt path, after which… there will be only us and the beauty of the waterfall, in a wonderful contemplative silence.

On the road

We rise early to capture the beauty of dawn and then continue our journey towards Vik. With only a few hours of driving today, we have the luxury of taking our time and making several stops at the most photogenic spots along the way, particularly those offering breathtaking views of the Hekla volcano.

Black beach

Just before reaching Vik, we discover the Dyrholaey viewpoint, a rocky plateau adorned with a magnificent stone arch. Afterwards, we descend to the captivating black sand beach of Reynisfjara. Walking along this surreal dark surface is an otherworldly experience that leaves us in awe.

Hunting the lights!

The possibilities in this area are abundant, offering us a range of unforgettable experiences. During the night hours, we can embark on an aurora hunting adventure, visiting unique points of interest such as the majestic waterfalls of Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss, the captivating Dyrholaey viewpoint, or the renowned Plane Wreck site.

On the road

After a hearty breakfast, we set out towards Jokulsarlon . Since the drive will be almost three hours, we will make some small stops : in Iceland the road itself, surrounded by endless green plains (in winter they will probably be covered with snow!), is an attraction to be admired!

The largest glacier in Europe
Show maps

At last, we reach the mesmerizing glacial lagoon where Europe's largest glacier descends from the mountains and stretches to the beach. Here, it "dives" into the water, giving birth to numerous small icebergs that gracefully float in the bay until carried away by the current. This setting is simply unparalleled, exuding a unique and almost surreal beauty, especially when witnessed during sunset or in the midst of the night with the enchanting dance of the northern lights illuminating the sky.

day 6

Skogafoss and Seljalandsfos

Skogafoss
Show maps

An essential stop in Iceland is Skogafoss, a breathtaking waterfall that leaves you in awe. The interplay of light creates magnificent rainbows, both in the air and reflecting in the water among the rocks. A well-maintained stepped path allows easy access to the top, offering a panoramic view from above. Standing so close to the plunging point, we'll be overwhelmed by the powerful rush of water cascading onto the black beach. There's also a nearby tourist office with souvenirs and a refreshment point where we'll enjoy a lunch break.

Seljalandsfoss
Show maps

Among Iceland's numerous waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss stands out as a unique spectacle. What sets it apart is the opportunity to witness it from behind. With the appropriate waterproof gear and sturdy footwear, we can venture to the back and marvel at the cascading water up close. This remarkable experience allows us to capture extraordinary photos from within a captivating cave, surrounded by black rocks. It's an exhilarating adventure that leaves a lasting impression!

DC 3 Plane

As we make our way towards Skogar, we mustn't miss the search for the DC 3 wreckage. This American plane crash site in the midst of the Icelandic black desert holds a captivating allure. Witnessing it during sunset or at night evokes a melancholic and poignant atmosphere. The sight of the wreck submerged in the black sands, so near to the seashore, is truly fascinating and leaves a lasting impression.
