DAY 4:

After breakfast you’ll set off for the South coast. You’ll start at the high but narrow Seljalandsfoss waterfall which plunges over the mountain.

Further east you’ll stop at the Eyjafjallajökull Information Center and learn about living next to a glacier and an active volcano. In the small village of Skógar you’ll visit one of Iceland's finest folk museums. This museum contains an outstanding collection of farm and domestic artefacts typical of Iceland’s past as well as turf-built houses. Nearby is Skógafoss waterfall which is 60 meters high and one of the most impressive waterfalls in the country.

For the rest of the afternoon, choose between an easy guided walk on a nearby glacier, or continue the bus tour to explore a black lava beach with bird cliffs.

Enjoy dinner and accommodation back at Hotel Grímsborgir. This evening a video presentation about the Northern Lights will be shown before a chance to view them for real outside in the dark skies.

You’ll visit a Viking ship and history museum that tells the story about the Viking expansion across the North Atlantic. It will be topped off with a unique lunch as you take part in a seafood and crab feast.

The day’s adventure concludes with a soak in the warming waters of the Blue Lagoon. The comfort experience package includes the use of a towel and a bathrobe, a drink of your choice and a volcano scrub or algae mask.
