Travel story
Each morning begins with a sky map and a whisper of possibility.
In Iceland, plans bend to the will of the weather. One day, you’ll chase clear skies to the frozen shores of the south.
The next, you’ll follow breaks in the clouds toward a quiet valley wrapped in snow.
Every night brings a new horizon, a new hope.
And when the aurora finally dances, you’ll stand still beneath its glow.
The journey has no fixed path, only purpose: to follow the light wherever it chooses to lead.
ー
On this trip, daily routes are updated according to aurora forecasts and changing weather, and destinations shift in the direction the sky indicates at the time.
Driving a rental car across the vast land, you can visit Iceland's natural sites—waterfalls, glaciers, black-sand coasts—at your own pace as they appear along the way.
Rather than following a fixed itinerary, by traveling flexibly and listening for signs of light, a unique aurora experience is quietly woven.
[Please note]
Before departure we provide an itinerary only for approximately the first two days after arrival.
This is an aurora-chase program that updates the itinerary during your trip to match where the aurora appears.
Therefore, we cannot provide hotel or schedule details before your trip.
Signature points
A unique aurora chase updated according to forecasts and weather
Based on aurora forecasts, cloud cover, and changing weather, destinations are updated as needed 1–2 days in advance. Rather than tracing a fixed itinerary, the trip heads to the places with the highest chance of aurora at any given time, increasing the likelihood of success and creating the distinctive experience of a "chase".
The free, delicate rhythm of travel made possible by touring with a rental car
The rental car is the main mode of transport. You can visit changing landscapes—waterfalls, glaciers, black-sand beaches—at your own pace. Including small discoveries along the way, the time accumulated by travelers' own choices quietly shapes the richness of this journey.
An experience woven while staying close to Iceland's land and sky
Traveling flexibly amid daily changing natural conditions brings a sense of being close not only to the aurora but to the land itself. By not relying on a set route and moving while sensing the mood of the sky and wind, the journey itself acquires a deep quietness and lingering resonance.

Reykjanes Eruptions Sites
Since 2021 there have been several volcanic eruptions on the Reykjanes peninsula, in the vicinity of the village of Grindavik.
Prior to these recent events, there had been no eruption for 820 years, since the Reykjanes Fires of 1210-1240.
Even if there is no visible volcanic activity at the moment, the craters and the fresh lava are very interesting to see and, conditions permitting, it's possible to visit the area by hiking.
A short walk is enough to reach the lava field of the 2021 eruption.
You can do this on your own but please note that this is completely at your own risk, and requires careful preparation as well as monitoring of the day's conditions.
The area is still thought to be active and the situation could change at any time so we strongly recommend that you take the time to familiarise yourself with the official hiking & safety information:
https://safetravel.is/eruption-in-reykjanes
Make sure to stay on the marked trails and do not walk on the lava since it could break and you could cut yourself with sharp edges and/or fall below inside the lava field, were the temperature can remain very hot for a long time.

Kleifarvatn
The largest lake in the area (10 sq.km.) and one of the deepest in Iceland (97 m), Kleifarvatn is fed by underground springs from the porous lava and also has hot springs at its southern end. Earthquakes in 2000 opened a fissure at the bottom of the lake causing it to lose a fair bit of its surface area.
Folklore has it that the lake is home to a lake monster but that does not deter the diving and fishing enthusiasts.
-
Seltun & the Krysuvik volcanic area
Seltun is a colourful geothermal area with bubbling mud pots, fumaroles and hot springs in vivid shades of red, yellow and green. There are various walking paths around the area. However, be careful and keep to the trail since the ground and water temperatures are dangerously high.
Seltun is part of the Krysuvik volcanic area which spans 350 sq. km. and also includes the Kleifarvatn & Graenavatn lakes.
This volcanic system is interesting in that it is a fissure system without a central volcano.
Some people consider the recently erupted Fagradalsfjall volcano to be part of the Krysuvik volcanic system.
-
Iceland - Hveragerði
-
Hveragerdi - optional
Hveragerdi is known as the hot springs capital of Iceland, with its name is derived as such ("hver" means hot spring).
The area is part of the Hengill central volcano, and is geothermally active with very frequent (usually minor) earthquakes. The town is known for its greenhouses, which are heated by hot water from volcanic hot springs.
The Quake 2008
Map point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uw5MA2PNvDCTbLir7
The exhibition presents the causes and the huge impact caused by the Earthquake in 2008.
There is also an earthquake simulator where you can experience a powerful earthquake (+6 Richter).
Geothermal Park (summer only)
https://www.facebook.com/Geothermalpark/
Open from April to September, the Geothermal Park is an area of hot springs where you can learn about this unique area's geological history.
You can also enjoy a therapeutic mud bath for your hands and feet, boil an egg in the hot spring and try the hot springs bread.
Reykjadalur valley
Map point: https://bit.ly/3GTQkjV
Just outside the town of Hveragerdi is the colourful Reykjadalur valley; an area of active geothermal activity, mud pools, steaming springs and a hot river. If you drive by you can see steam coming out of the mountainside.
If you're interested in a hike, you can follow the hiking trail which leads to a hot river. In some parts, the temperature of the river is perfect for bathing.
Please check trail conditions in winter: https://safetravel.is/
The Almar Bakery is a great place to pick up some baked goods or sandwiches for the day. You can also taste some Icelandic specialities like kleina, snudur or vinarbraud.
The Olverk Pizza & Brewery brews their own beer and serves fantastic wood-fired pizzas.
The Greenhouse Hotel has a food hall with various interesting options.

Gullfoss
Translated as "golden waterfall", Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most beautiful waterfalls and its signature golden glow on sunny days is the reason behind the name of the Golden Circle area.
The river canyon rock dates back to an interglacial period. The river Hvita originates in the Langjokull glacier and plunges 32m into a narrow and deep canyon. There are actually two separate waterfalls - the upper one with a drop of 11 metres and the lower one, 21 metres.
There are two viewing platforms - the upper one has a great view over the canyon and waterfall. The lower one lets you walk for a closer upfront view.
From Gullfoss, you also have a great view of the Langjokull glacier, Iceland’s second-largest.
-
Geysir Geothermal Area
Geysir is one of the world's greatest geysers and the English word "geyser" originates from the Icelandic word "geysir".
Geysir is believed to have been formed at the end of the 13th century by a series of earthquakes and the eruption of Mt.Hekla.
Its opening is 18m wide and 20m deep and the jet of water was 60-80m high. At first, it spouted every third hour and then with longer intervals until it stopped in the early 2000s.
The smaller Strokkur still erupts 30 meters up into the air every 7-8 minutes much to the delight of the crowds.
Although Strokkur is the clear favourite sight, the surrounding area is also geothermally very active with a variety of bubbling hot springs, steaming vents and colourful fissures.
-
Thingvellir National Park
Thingvellir National Park is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Icelandic mainland. It is a spectacular natural sight located in the rift valley between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates and Iceland is the only place where this rift is above sea level so you can clearly see the cracks and faults.
Thingvellir is located on the northern shore of Thingvallavatn, the biggest lake in Iceland. The river Oxara runs through the park and forms the Oxarafoss waterfall in the Almannagja gorge.
The site is historically significant for being the first meeting place of the Icelandic parliament (called Althingi) in 930, also the oldest existing parliament in the world.
The Althingi met annually to enact laws and resolve disputes. In the year 1000, Christianity became the official religion of Iceland. The independence of the Republic of Iceland was declared here on the 17th of June, 1944.
There is a parking fee of 1,000 ISK which can be paid at machines in the parking lot or online at: https://www.checkit.is/

Skalholt - optional
Skalholt is one of the most important places in Iceland's history. Starting from the 11th century, the village was an Episcopal See, cultural and educational center, and the informal capital of Iceland. Skalholt holds a special place in many Icelandic hearts.
Nowadays we can admire the new church built in the exact location of the historical one. The cathedral's basement houses a small museum that holds several precious items, including bishop Pal Jonsson's crypt, which dates back to 1211. The medieval tunnel goes from the cellar to the archaeological excavation site. Outside the church, there is a graveyard and a newly reconstructed turf chapel.
In the neighboring hotel, there is Hvonn Restaurant, which focuses on old traditional Icelandic food with a modern twist. Hvonn specializes in all kinds of fermentations like lactic acid, kombucha, and kefir. These are storing methods that Icelanders have used since the first settlements to survive harsh winters.
Visiting Skalholt is recommended to all history enthusiasts.

Seljalandsfoss & Gljufrabui
Just by the Ring Road at the base of the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier is the picturesque Seljalandsfoss, a unique waterfall in the river Seljalandsa.
It is a thin cascade 60 meters high with a footpath behind it and the only known waterfall where it is possible to walk behind it. It is advisable to wear a rain jacket since you can get wet depending on the wind direction.
There is a parking fee of 800 ISK which can be paid at machines in the parking lot.
By walking along the mountainside toward the west, you will find a few more waterfalls including the interesting Gljufrabui, which is partially masked by its own canyon.
Note: During winter, the paths can be slippery with large pieces of ice falling making it dangerous to venture too close to the cliffs and walk behind the waterfall.
-
Skogafoss
Translated as “forest waterfall”, the contrast of the pure white drape-like falls onto the black stones below, often accompanied by rainbows, makes Skogafoss one of Iceland’s most photographed falls.
It is possible to take the stairs on the right of the waterfall to climb it for a different perspective.
Skogafoss is the southern end of Fimmvorduhals, a very popular 22 km trail that leads hikers up to a thousand-meter altitude between the glaciers Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull, before descending sharply into the breathtaking glacial valley of Thorsmork.
-
Skogar Museum & Kvernufoss - optional
The Skogar Museum is a cultural heritage collection of 18,000 artefacts. It is organised into 3 different sections with something for everyone - folk artefacts, architectural and technological history, reconstructed houses and a full-sized boat for the children.
You can check opening hours and information on guided tours here: https://www.skogasafn.is/opening-hours-and-bookings/
From the parking lot of the Skogar museum, you can follow a trail to a beautiful lesser-known waterfall, Kvernufoss. Although a short hike (20-25 mins), it is a bit steep with some loose rocks so be careful.
In the summer, it is possible to walk behind the waterfall but advisable to have a raincoat or you will get wet.

Iceland - Mýrdalshreppur
-
Sólheimajökull Glacier Tongue
Solheimajokull is a tongue of the larger Myrdalsjokull glacier, which hides the famous Katla volcano beneath its ice cap.
Like many other glaciers, Solheimajokull is rapidly shrinking, causing its glacial lagoon to expand.
It's one of the easiest accessible glaciers in Iceland, reachable with a 15min hike.
Remember that it's extremely dangerous to go on the glacier without a guide. You might slip or it might break unexpectedly.
-
Iceland - Vik i Myrdal
-
Reynisfjara & Reynisdrangar
Considered one of the best beaches in the world, Reynisfjara beach features black volcanic sands, geometric basalt columns and caves.
From the beach, you can see the 66m tall Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Although folklore tells stories of trolls, these formations originate from a volcanic eruption during the last Ice Age.
The waves are rough, can be dangerous and have caused the death of a number of visitors in recent years, even in the best of weather. Please take great care, keep a good distance, never turn your back on the ocean and supervise children and those who need help.
-
Vik i Myrdal
Midway along Iceland's scenic south coast and right on the Ring Road, the 300 person town of Vik is the southernmost settlement on the mainland. It is a relatively new town, only settled in 1890. Although one the only coastal towns without a harbour, it is an important trading place for farmers in the region.
Vik is just south of the Myrdalsjokull glacier. The glacier covers the Katla volcano, the eruption of which could result in glacial floods large enough to wipe out the entire town.
The red-roofed town church, located on a hilltop, is very popular for photographs and is the only place expected to survive a glacial flood.
The town is also the setting for the Netflix series, Katla.
There are a variety of hiking trails around the town. The Reynisfjall mountain offers spectacular views and opportunities for bird watching. Across from Reynisfjall is the Hatta mountain which offers views of Myrdalsjokull and the Heidarvatn lake.
Vik has some very popular cafes for a meal - Smidjan Brugghus and Sudur Vik are good choices.
Smidjan brews its own beer and offers a variety of craft beer on tap as well as tours of the brewery.
https://smidjanbrugghus.is/
For a warm drink (tea, coffee or hot chocolate) and a quick bite, try the quirky Skool Beans food truck.

Eldhraun Lava Field
Spread over an area of 565 sq. kms., the Eldhraun (meaning fire lava) lava field is one of the largest lava fields in the world and was formed by the Laki eruption from 1783-84.
Laki was one of the most significant eruptions in the last millennium leading to the death of 50% of livestock and 20-25% of human life in Iceland as well as crop failures and weather changes around the world.
Today the area is covered in moss with a network of underground lava tubes and caves. It is also where the Apollo 11 crew practiced their moonwalk in 1969.
Please note that it is not permitted to walk on the moss.
-
Fjadrargljufur canyon - optional
Fjadrargljufur is an ancient canyon. Believed to have been formed during the last Ice Age, it is 100m deep and 2 kms long.
The bridge below the car park offers a fantastic view into the canyon without a hike. You can also take a short hike up the hill for a view from the top.
The trail from the top takes about an hour and leads to a few viewpoints with breathtaking views. The more adventurous can wade the shallow waters at the base to experience the magnitude of the towering walls and winding ravine.

Jokulsarlon & Diamond Beach
Jokulsarlon (translated as "glacial river lagoon") is the most spectacular glacier lagoon in Iceland. Dotted with icebergs breaking off from the Breidamerkurjokull glacier, it is just as breathtaking as you would expect.
Climb the hill for a better view of the area or join a boat tour to get up close to the massive icebergs. The lagoon is also home to curious seals and boisterous skuas.
On overcast days, the floating icebergs take on a blue hue and in winter the lagoon often completely freezes.
The icebergs are not static and slowly float down the river to the ocean, and some of them wash up on Breidamerkursandur, the black sand beach across the road.
The beach strewn with glittering iceberg pieces has in recent years come to be affectionately known as “diamond beach” and is a photographers’ favourite.
If you're looking for a quick bite, Jokulsarlon often has a few food trucks, Nailed It serves great fish and chips and Heimahumar does a great langoustine roll.
-
Fjallsarlon - optional
A bit off the Ring Road, the Fjallsarlon glacier lagoon is lesser-visited than Jokulsarlon. However, the absence of crowds adds to its beauty. Since it is a smaller lagoon, you also have a better view of the glacier tongue.
It is possible to have boat and kayaking tours on the lagoon.
Map point: https://bit.ly/3NYbWiq
-
Hofskirkja - optional
Built in the late 19th century, Hoskirkja is the last to be built of the six remaining turf churches in Iceland. The burial mounds around the church are very peculiar.
Hofskirkja is still a practicing church and is maintained by the National Museum of Iceland.
-
Skaftafell Nature Reserve - optional
The landscape of Southeast Iceland is dominated by Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier, and dotted with some of the highest mountain peaks, catastrophic volcanoes, impressive outlet glaciers and breathtaking glacial lagoons.
Nestled between the southernmost tongues of the Vatnajokull glacier and beneath the island's tallest mountain peak Hvannadalshnukur is Skaftafell, one of Iceland's most scenic places.
The Visitor Centre, Skaftafellsstofa, is an information and education centre where visitors can learn more about the geology of the area and hiking trails.
Hiking trails in the park include an easy walk to the Skaftafellsjokull glacier tongue and a short hike to the picturesque Svartifoss waterfall, and extend to all-day options at higher altitudes.
Here is a link with information and more options: https://www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is/en/areas/skaftafell
South of Skaftafell lie the vast alluvial sand plains of Skeidararsandur, where tumultuous glacial floods destroy the hardiest of bridges every few years. A little to the west is the beautiful Lomagnupur, one of Iceland’s favourite mountains.

Reykjavik centrum
101 is the zip code for Reykjavik's town centre, the oldest part of town. Historical buildings and landmarks, a variety of museums and art galleries, cool cafes and world-class restaurants makes it one of the most interesting capital cities in the world.
It is a compact area and easily walkable so half a day is enough for an impression of the most important sites below:
Hallgrimskirkja: On Skolavorduholt, this is one of Reykjavik's main landmarks. The largest church in Iceland, it can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. It was built in memory of the hymn writer Hallgrimur Petursson who wrote the Passiusalmar hymns which have had a significant influence on Icelanders’ religious practice and prayer.
It is possible to go to the top for 1400 ISK (200 ISK for children), and the view is worth it.
Laugavegur: Translated as "wash street" since it was the route to the hot springs where clothes were laundered, this is the main street and home to many Icelandic design shops, book stores, restaurants and cafes.
Take a walk down the street with the old houses with colourfully painted corrugated iron, which covers the wooden houses for protection and extra isolation.
Reykjavik is also famous for its street art and you will find a number of buildings on and right off the main street with artistic graffiti.
Austurvollur: At the end of Laugavegur, this is a very popular square adjacent to the House of Parliament and Domkirkjan, the oldest church in the city. It is a popular gathering place and also popular for protests.
The statue of Jon Sigurdsson, the leader of Iceland’s independence movement stands in the middle of the square. His birthday is celebrated as Iceland’s National Holiday.
Tjornin: The city pond is home to an incredibly a large variety of birds and ducks. There is a stone pathway, colourful houses on one side and the Reykjavik City Hall in one corner.
From the pond you can also see Frikirkjan, a beautiful white church with a green roof.
-
Sculpture & Shore Walk, Reykjavik
The Sculpture & Shore route is a walking path around the Reykjavik harbour with scenic views of the Faxafloi Bay, its islands and the Esja mountain.
The entire route is pretty long but we recommend starting at the old harbour and here are some of our favourite stops:
Old harbour: The old harbour is a great place to see a variety of boats and old ships. There are also several nice cafes and restaurants.
Harpa Concert Hall: Opened in 2011, this building has an interesting glass design inspired by basalt column formations. It's worth a look inside to appreciate the unique architecture.
They also have guided tours of the building and an impressive schedule of events.
Solfar Sculpture: The Sun Voyager by Jon Gunnar Arnason represents the dreams of hope, progress, and freedom.
Although Solfar is the most popular one, you will also see other sculptures like the Cairn by Johann Eyfells and the Partnership sculpture by Pétur Bjarnason which symbolises the relationship between Iceland and US.
Hofdi house: A very historically significant building, this was where the summit meeting of Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev took place in 1986 that marked the end of the Cold War.

Reykjavik culinary scene
Reykjavik has a fantastic culinary scene, especially considering the size of the city and its population. You will be spoilt for choice so it all depends on what you would like.
Iceland has just one Michelin star restaurant - Dill in Reykjavik. It is difficult to get a reservation so best to book well in advance.
Other restaurants currently recommended in the Michelin Guide are Matur og Drykkur, Sumac, Ox and Moss. Matur og Drykkur is a good choice for traditional Icelandic cuisine.
Other places for traditional food are Thrir Frakkar, Matarkjallarinn and Apotek. If you're looking for something different, check Sushi Social.
And if you're tired of seafood and fish, you can visit Grillmarkadurinn (Grill Market).
For breakfast or lunch, downtown Reykjavik has some great bakeries like Braud & Co. or Sandholt, the latter having a nice seating area. Vox at the Hilton does a great brunch on weekends.
There are also some interesting options for street food.
Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur is the popular touristy place to try the famous Icelandic hotdog.
The downtown area has a few fish & chips stands.
At the old harbor, Saegreifinn (Sea Baron) serves good lobster soup and fish skewers.
Icelandic cuisine doesn't have a wide variety of vegetarian options. We recommend trying other options which have more variety:
- Mama Reykjavik
- Austur India Felagid and Gandhi for Indian
- Italia for great Italian food
- Meze for Middle Eastern food
If you're interested in an Icelandic cooking class, check Salt Eldhus: https://salteldhus.is/en
Let us know if you need any more recommendations.
Restaurants in Reykjavik are busy throughout the year so it might be good to make a reservation if you really want to go to any of these places.

Reykjanes Eruptions Sites
Since 2021 there have been several volcanic eruptions on the Reykjanes peninsula, in the vicinity of the village of Grindavik.
Prior to these recent events, there had been no eruption for 820 years, since the Reykjanes Fires of 1210-1240.
Even if there is no visible volcanic activity at the moment, the craters and the fresh lava are very interesting to see and, conditions permitting, it's possible to visit the area by hiking.
A short walk is enough to reach the lava field of the 2021 eruption.
You can do this on your own but please note that this is completely at your own risk, and requires careful preparation as well as monitoring of the day's conditions.
The area is still thought to be active and the situation could change at any time so we strongly recommend that you take the time to familiarise yourself with the official hiking & safety information:
https://safetravel.is/eruption-in-reykjanes
Make sure to stay on the marked trails and do not walk on the lava since it could break and you could cut yourself with sharp edges and/or fall below inside the lava field, were the temperature can remain very hot for a long time.

Kleifarvatn
The largest lake in the area (10 sq.km.) and one of the deepest in Iceland (97 m), Kleifarvatn is fed by underground springs from the porous lava and also has hot springs at its southern end. Earthquakes in 2000 opened a fissure at the bottom of the lake causing it to lose a fair bit of its surface area.
Folklore has it that the lake is home to a lake monster but that does not deter the diving and fishing enthusiasts.

Seltun & the Krysuvik volcanic area
Seltun is a colourful geothermal area with bubbling mud pots, fumaroles and hot springs in vivid shades of red, yellow and green. There are various walking paths around the area. However, be careful and keep to the trail since the ground and water temperatures are dangerously high.
Seltun is part of the Krysuvik volcanic area which spans 350 sq. km. and also includes the Kleifarvatn & Graenavatn lakes.
This volcanic system is interesting in that it is a fissure system without a central volcano.
Some people consider the recently erupted Fagradalsfjall volcano to be part of the Krysuvik volcanic system.

Gullfoss
Translated as "golden waterfall", Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most beautiful waterfalls and its signature golden glow on sunny days is the reason behind the name of the Golden Circle area.
The river canyon rock dates back to an interglacial period. The river Hvita originates in the Langjokull glacier and plunges 32m into a narrow and deep canyon. There are actually two separate waterfalls - the upper one with a drop of 11 metres and the lower one, 21 metres.
There are two viewing platforms - the upper one has a great view over the canyon and waterfall. The lower one lets you walk for a closer upfront view.
From Gullfoss, you also have a great view of the Langjokull glacier, Iceland’s second-largest.
-
Geysir Geothermal Area
Geysir is one of the world's greatest geysers and the English word "geyser" originates from the Icelandic word "geysir".
Geysir is believed to have been formed at the end of the 13th century by a series of earthquakes and the eruption of Mt.Hekla.
Its opening is 18m wide and 20m deep and the jet of water was 60-80m high. At first, it spouted every third hour and then with longer intervals until it stopped in the early 2000s.
The smaller Strokkur still erupts 30 meters up into the air every 7-8 minutes much to the delight of the crowds.
Although Strokkur is the clear favourite sight, the surrounding area is also geothermally very active with a variety of bubbling hot springs, steaming vents and colourful fissures.
-
Thingvellir National Park
Thingvellir National Park is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Icelandic mainland. It is a spectacular natural sight located in the rift valley between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates and Iceland is the only place where this rift is above sea level so you can clearly see the cracks and faults.
Thingvellir is located on the northern shore of Thingvallavatn, the biggest lake in Iceland. The river Oxara runs through the park and forms the Oxarafoss waterfall in the Almannagja gorge.
The site is historically significant for being the first meeting place of the Icelandic parliament (called Althingi) in 930, also the oldest existing parliament in the world.
The Althingi met annually to enact laws and resolve disputes. In the year 1000, Christianity became the official religion of Iceland. The independence of the Republic of Iceland was declared here on the 17th of June, 1944.
There is a parking fee of 1,000 ISK which can be paid at machines in the parking lot or online at: https://www.checkit.is/

Skalholt - optional
Skalholt is one of the most important places in Iceland's history. Starting from the 11th century, the village was an Episcopal See, cultural and educational center, and the informal capital of Iceland. Skalholt holds a special place in many Icelandic hearts.
Nowadays we can admire the new church built in the exact location of the historical one. The cathedral's basement houses a small museum that holds several precious items, including bishop Pal Jonsson's crypt, which dates back to 1211. The medieval tunnel goes from the cellar to the archaeological excavation site. Outside the church, there is a graveyard and a newly reconstructed turf chapel.
In the neighboring hotel, there is Hvonn Restaurant, which focuses on old traditional Icelandic food with a modern twist. Hvonn specializes in all kinds of fermentations like lactic acid, kombucha, and kefir. These are storing methods that Icelanders have used since the first settlements to survive harsh winters.
Visiting Skalholt is recommended to all history enthusiasts.

Seljalandsfoss & Gljufrabui
Just by the Ring Road at the base of the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier is the picturesque Seljalandsfoss, a unique waterfall in the river Seljalandsa.
It is a thin cascade 60 meters high with a footpath behind it and the only known waterfall where it is possible to walk behind it. It is advisable to wear a rain jacket since you can get wet depending on the wind direction.
There is a parking fee of 800 ISK which can be paid at machines in the parking lot.
By walking along the mountainside toward the west, you will find a few more waterfalls including the interesting Gljufrabui, which is partially masked by its own canyon.
Note: During winter, the paths can be slippery with large pieces of ice falling making it dangerous to venture too close to the cliffs and walk behind the waterfall.
-
Skogafoss
Translated as “forest waterfall”, the contrast of the pure white drape-like falls onto the black stones below, often accompanied by rainbows, makes Skogafoss one of Iceland’s most photographed falls.
It is possible to take the stairs on the right of the waterfall to climb it for a different perspective.
Skogafoss is the southern end of Fimmvorduhals, a very popular 22 km trail that leads hikers up to a thousand-meter altitude between the glaciers Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull, before descending sharply into the breathtaking glacial valley of Thorsmork.
-
Skogar Museum & Kvernufoss - optional
The Skogar Museum is a cultural heritage collection of 18,000 artefacts. It is organised into 3 different sections with something for everyone - folk artefacts, architectural and technological history, reconstructed houses and a full-sized boat for the children.
You can check opening hours and information on guided tours here: https://www.skogasafn.is/opening-hours-and-bookings/
From the parking lot of the Skogar museum, you can follow a trail to a beautiful lesser-known waterfall, Kvernufoss. Although a short hike (20-25 mins), it is a bit steep with some loose rocks so be careful.
In the summer, it is possible to walk behind the waterfall but advisable to have a raincoat or you will get wet.

Sólheimajökull Glacier Tongue
Solheimajokull is a tongue of the larger Myrdalsjokull glacier, which hides the famous Katla volcano beneath its ice cap.
Like many other glaciers, Solheimajokull is rapidly shrinking, causing its glacial lagoon to expand.
It's one of the easiest accessible glaciers in Iceland, reachable with a 15min hike.
Remember that it's extremely dangerous to go on the glacier without a guide. You might slip or it might break unexpectedly.

Reynisfjara & Reynisdrangar
Considered one of the best beaches in the world, Reynisfjara beach features black volcanic sands, geometric basalt columns and caves.
From the beach, you can see the 66m tall Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Although folklore tells stories of trolls, these formations originate from a volcanic eruption during the last Ice Age.
The waves are rough, can be dangerous and have caused the death of a number of visitors in recent years, even in the best of weather. Please take great care, keep a good distance, never turn your back on the ocean and supervise children and those who need help.
-
Vik i Myrdal
Midway along Iceland's scenic south coast and right on the Ring Road, the 300 person town of Vik is the southernmost settlement on the mainland. It is a relatively new town, only settled in 1890. Although one the only coastal towns without a harbour, it is an important trading place for farmers in the region.
Vik is just south of the Myrdalsjokull glacier. The glacier covers the Katla volcano, the eruption of which could result in glacial floods large enough to wipe out the entire town.
The red-roofed town church, located on a hilltop, is very popular for photographs and is the only place expected to survive a glacial flood.
The town is also the setting for the Netflix series, Katla.
There are a variety of hiking trails around the town. The Reynisfjall mountain offers spectacular views and opportunities for bird watching. Across from Reynisfjall is the Hatta mountain which offers views of Myrdalsjokull and the Heidarvatn lake.
Vik has some very popular cafes for a meal - Smidjan Brugghus and Sudur Vik are good choices.
Smidjan brews its own beer and offers a variety of craft beer on tap as well as tours of the brewery.

Eldhraun Lava Field
Spread over an area of 565 sq. kms., the Eldhraun (meaning fire lava) lava field is one of the largest lava fields in the world and was formed by the Laki eruption from 1783-84.
Laki was one of the most significant eruptions in the last millennium leading to the death of 50% of livestock and 20-25% of human life in Iceland as well as crop failures and weather changes around the world.
Today the area is covered in moss with a network of underground lava tubes and caves. It is also where the Apollo 11 crew practiced their moonwalk in 1969.
Please note that it is not permitted to walk on the moss.
-
Fjadrargljufur canyon - optional
Fjadrargljufur is an ancient canyon. Believed to have been formed during the last Ice Age, it is 100m deep and 2 kms long.
The bridge below the car park offers a fantastic view into the canyon without a hike. You can also take a short hike up the hill for a view from the top.
The trail from the top takes about an hour and leads to a few viewpoints with breathtaking views. The more adventurous can wade the shallow waters at the base to experience the magnitude of the towering walls and winding ravine.

Jokulsarlon & Diamond Beach
Jokulsarlon (translated as "glacial river lagoon") is the most spectacular glacier lagoon in Iceland. Dotted with icebergs breaking off from the Breidamerkurjokull glacier, it is just as breathtaking as you would expect.
Climb the hill for a better view of the area or join a boat tour to get up close to the massive icebergs. The lagoon is also home to curious seals and boisterous skuas.
On overcast days, the floating icebergs take on a blue hue and in winter the lagoon often completely freezes.
The icebergs are not static and slowly float down the river to the ocean, and some of them wash up on Breidamerkursandur, the black sand beach across the road.
The beach strewn with glittering iceberg pieces has in recent years come to be affectionately known as “diamond beach” and is a photographers’ favourite.
If you're looking for a quick bite, Jokulsarlon often has a few food trucks, Nailed It serves great fish and chips and Heimahumar does a great langoustine roll.
-
Fjallsarlon - optional
A bit off the Ring Road, the Fjallsarlon glacier lagoon is lesser-visited than Jokulsarlon. However, the absence of crowds adds to its beauty. Since it is a smaller lagoon, you also have a better view of the glacier tongue.
It is possible to have boat and kayaking tours on the lagoon.

Hofskirkja - optional
Built in the late 19th century, Hoskirkja is the last to be built of the six remaining turf churches in Iceland. The burial mounds around the church are very peculiar.
Hofskirkja is still a practicing church and is maintained by the National Museum of Iceland.
-
Skaftafell Nature Reserve - optional
The landscape of Southeast Iceland is dominated by Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier, and dotted with some of the highest mountain peaks, catastrophic volcanoes, impressive outlet glaciers and breathtaking glacial lagoons.
Nestled between the southernmost tongues of the Vatnajokull glacier and beneath the island's tallest mountain peak Hvannadalshnukur is Skaftafell, one of Iceland's most scenic places.
The Visitor Centre, Skaftafellsstofa, is an information and education centre where visitors can learn more about the geology of the area and hiking trails.
Hiking trails in the park include an easy walk to the Skaftafellsjokull glacier tongue and a short hike to the picturesque Svartifoss waterfall, and extend to all-day options at higher altitudes.
Here is a link with information and more options: https://www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is/en/areas/skaftafell
South of Skaftafell lie the vast alluvial sand plains of Skeidararsandur, where tumultuous glacial floods destroy the hardiest of bridges every few years. A little to the west is the beautiful Lomagnupur, one of Iceland’s favourite mountains.

Reykjavik centrum
101 is the zip code for Reykjavik's town centre, the oldest part of town. Historical buildings and landmarks, a variety of museums and art galleries, cool cafes and world-class restaurants makes it one of the most interesting capital cities in the world.
It is a compact area and easily walkable so half a day is enough for an impression of the most important sites below:
Hallgrimskirkja: On Skolavorduholt, this is one of Reykjavik's main landmarks. The largest church in Iceland, it can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. It was built in memory of the hymn writer Hallgrimur Petursson who wrote the Passiusalmar hymns which have had a significant influence on Icelanders’ religious practice and prayer.
It is possible to go to the top for 1400 ISK (200 ISK for children), and the view is worth it.
Laugavegur: Translated as "wash street" since it was the route to the hot springs where clothes were laundered, this is the main street and home to many Icelandic design shops, book stores, restaurants and cafes.
Take a walk down the street with the old houses with colourfully painted corrugated iron, which covers the wooden houses for protection and extra isolation.
Reykjavik is also famous for its street art and you will find a number of buildings on and right off the main street with artistic graffiti.
Austurvollur: At the end of Laugavegur, this is a very popular square adjacent to the House of Parliament and Domkirkjan, the oldest church in the city. It is a popular gathering place and also popular for protests.
The statue of Jon Sigurdsson, the leader of Iceland’s independence movement stands in the middle of the square. His birthday is celebrated as Iceland’s National Holiday.
Tjornin: The city pond is home to an incredibly a large variety of birds and ducks. There is a stone pathway, colourful houses on one side and the Reykjavik City Hall in one corner.
From the pond you can also see Frikirkjan, a beautiful white church with a green roof.
-
Sculpture & Shore Walk, Reykjavik
The Sculpture & Shore route is a walking path around the Reykjavik harbour with scenic views of the Faxafloi Bay, its islands and the Esja mountain.
The entire route is pretty long but we recommend starting at the old harbour and here are some of our favourite stops:
Old harbour: The old harbour is a great place to see a variety of boats and old ships. There are also several nice cafes and restaurants.
Harpa Concert Hall: Opened in 2011, this building has an interesting glass design inspired by basalt column formations. It's worth a look inside to appreciate the unique architecture.
They also have guided tours of the building and an impressive schedule of events.
Solfar Sculpture: The Sun Voyager by Jon Gunnar Arnason represents the dreams of hope, progress, and freedom.
Although Solfar is the most popular one, you will also see other sculptures like the Cairn by Johann Eyfells and the Partnership sculpture by Pétur Bjarnason which symbolises the relationship between Iceland and US.
Hofdi house: A very historically significant building, this was where the summit meeting of Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev took place in 1986 that marked the end of the Cold War.

Reykjavik culinary scene
Reykjavik has a fantastic culinary scene, especially considering the size of the city and its population. You will be spoilt for choice so it all depends on what you would like.
Iceland has just one Michelin star restaurant - Dill in Reykjavik. It is difficult to get a reservation so best to book well in advance.
Other restaurants currently recommended in the Michelin Guide are Matur og Drykkur, Sumac, Ox and Moss. Matur og Drykkur is a good choice for traditional Icelandic cuisine.
Other places for traditional food are Thrir Frakkar, Matarkjallarinn and Apotek. If you're looking for something different, check Sushi Social.
And if you're tired of seafood and fish, you can visit Grillmarkadurinn (Grill Market).
For breakfast or lunch, downtown Reykjavik has some great bakeries like Braud & Co. or Sandholt, the latter having a nice seating area. Vox at the Hilton does a great brunch on weekends.
There are also some interesting options for street food.
Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur is the popular touristy place to try the famous Icelandic hotdog.
The downtown area has a few fish & chips stands.
At the old harbor, Saegreifinn (Sea Baron) serves good lobster soup and fish skewers.
Icelandic cuisine doesn't have a wide variety of vegetarian options. We recommend trying other options which have more variety:
- Mama Reykjavik
- Austur India Felagid and Gandhi for Indian
- Italia for great Italian food
- Meze for Middle Eastern food
If you're interested in an Icelandic cooking class, check Salt Eldhus: https://salteldhus.is/en
Let us know if you need any more recommendations.
Restaurants in Reykjavik are busy throughout the year so it might be good to make a reservation if you really want to go to any of these places.
