3-Day Ice Cave, South Coast, Golden Circle and Northern Lights
Overview
Your 3-day Iceland winter adventure begins in Reykjavík, taking you along the Golden Circle and South Coast to discover the country's most remarkable natural attractions. Visit Þingvellir National Park, watch Strokkur geyser erupt, and admire the powerful Gullfoss waterfall. Continue along the South Coast to Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, and Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, before exploring the icebergs of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach.
The adventure also includes two glacier experiences: a guided glacier hike and a natural ice cave visit (October–March). With two nights of countryside accommodation and breakfast included, you can enjoy the journey at a comfortable pace. During September–March, your guide will monitor Northern Lights forecasts for possible sightings, weather permitting.
After three days of exploring Iceland’s waterfalls, glaciers, and volcanic landscapes, return to Reykjavík at approximately 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM, subject to road and weather conditions.
