This iceberg-filled, 200-meter-deep lagoon offers nonstop photo ops! Melted glacier water comprise the lagoon’s contents, with its mix of fresh and seawater providing a unique blue hue. We’ll make a stop on Diamond Beach, where huge, translucent, naturally-made iceberg sculptures continuously get washed up on the shore. Keep an eye out for skuas, a seabird that makes its nest on the lagoon’s shores. Unlike other folks just visiting the area, we’ll get up close and personal with the otherworldly icebergs. The next day, we’ll spend the morning hiking around the massive Fjadrargljufur canyon, across glaciers and next to crevasses. This canyon has bedrock dating back two million years to the Ice Age!

This “Iceland in a nutshell” will once again take your breath away with its diverse landscape. We’ll enjoy a hike in the Arnarstapi, home to soaring columnar basalt formations and lava flows and once a thriving fishing village. We’ll also visit the trading post, Stykkishólmur, where beautiful old houses and museums line the city’s streets. Last but not least, we’ll hike the paths around Kirkjufell (meaning “Church Mountain”), roaming lush green fields and the filming site of several Game of Thrones scenes!

In the morning, get ready to explore Rauðfeldsgjá, a deep and narrow ravine near the Snæfellsjökull glacier! Bright green moss line the canyon’s walls, and a waterfall is hidden in the gorge. Later, we’ll bask in the famous geothermal spa Blue Lagoon, whose warm, milky-blue waters contrast sharply with the surrounding black volcanic cliffs. Water continually streams into and out of the lagoon, making for clean water with no chemicals—only natural minerals (like silica and sulfur) that are good for your skin!
