Glaciers are on today's agenda! As we keep on with our ring road adventure and move further South-East we will pass Mýrdalsjökull glacier and drive throughvast lava fields before reaching Skaftafell National Park which is part of Vatnajökull National Park where Europe's largest glacier lies. Once there we will start our glacier exploration, setting off for a glacier hike on one of Vatnajökuls outlet glaciers. After our hike we will be stopping at the popular Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon where you can explore the lagoon that is covered with floating ice bergs. Our accommodation for the night will be in Höfn í Hornafirði.

Today we will explore the East fjords of Iceland, a scenic drive on narrow roads in steep hills. The first stop in Djúpivogur village where we can also stop for lunch. After some refueling we will thread our way through the east fjords towards Egilsstaðir where we will be spending the night. Before we reach our hotel for the night, we will go on a short hike to Hengifoss waterfall, second highest waterfalls in Iceland, dropping down into a magnificent canyon.

Heading to the northern part of the island we will pass the wilderness of Möðrudalur valley before making our first stop for the day at Dettifoss waterfall, Europe's most powerful waterfall. After some exploration of this beautiful phenomenon we will make our way to Lake Mývatn area where you will get the chance to experience the magnificent landscape around the lake and snap some photos of its surroundings. Among Lake Mývatns highlights are Námaskarð, Hverfjall crater and Dimmuborgir lava field. We'll make a stop at Mývatn Nature Baths, where you have the opportunity to bath in the hot spring pools. The entrance fee can be added when booking or paid on site. For those that don't wish to go in the water, they can stroll around the area and enjoy the views or sit down in the cafeteria.

Our last stop for the day before making our way to Eyjafjörður where we'll find our accommodation near Akureyri will be at Goðafoss waterfall.

In the morning, you will get a chance to explore Akureyri, the capital of the North, before we go for a 3 hour whale watching tour from Dalvík where whale sightings are quite common. The most common whales being spotted in that area, are humpback whales. It's also possible to upgrade (Apr-Oct) for a small fee to a 1.5-hour rhib boat tour, that can give the opportunity to approach them closer. After your whale watching adventure, we will make our way to the cosy village of Siglufjörður and around the mountainous Tröllaskagi peninsula before arriving at Borgarnes where we spend our last night of this tour.

On the final day, we arrive at Grindavík for a short stop to buy some food for a picnic before heading for our hike to the active Geldingadalur eruption. There were thousands of earthquakes in the Reykjanes peninsula before March 19th when the lava finally reached the surface in  Geldingadalur valley. The eruption is currently contained in the valley surrounded by higher ground, keeping the nearby towns safe from lava flow.

This unique chance to witness the spectacular natural performance should not be missed and we will make sure you have the chance to see it up close with your own eyes! Our guides will make sure you are safe on this adventure too.
