Reykjadalur
Day 5
Day 1 - Golden Circle The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in Iceland, which includes three main attractions: Kerið Crater, Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall. Kerið is a caldera, which means it formed when a volcanic cone collapsed inward during an eruption. What makes Kerið particularly remarkable is the presence of a lake within the crater itself. The lake is approximately 7-14 meters deep and contains strikingly blue-green water. The contrasting colors of the lake, the red volcanic rocks, and the surrounding green moss-covered slopes create a picturesque sight. We will also visit Strokkur - the powerful Geysir erupting hot water and steam into the air, and admire the stunning beauty of the Gullfoss waterfall (which gives the Golden Circle its name since gul means gold). Reykjadalur hike (around 10km) - The hike to Reykjadalur takes you through picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, volcanic terrain, and geothermal areas. The trail is considered a moderate hike suitable for most fitness levels. Reykjadalur translates to "Steam Valley" in English, and the main attraction of the hike is the opportunity to soak in the natural hot springs along the trail. Note: Remember to pack a bathing suit / swim shorts

Day 2 - South of Iceland The south of Iceland is home to some of the country's most iconic natural wonders, including the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara, the beautiful Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, and the stunning views of Dyrhólaey lighthouse. These unique landscapes are truly breathtaking and provide endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. Skógafoss waterfall hike (around 17km): The Skógafoss hike involves ascending a staircase located next to the waterfall, which consists of approximately 527 steps. The stairs lead to a higher viewpoint where you can admire panoramic views of the waterfall, the surrounding landscapes, and the Skógá River. The Skógafoss hike offers captivating views of the Skógá River, the lush greenery of the surrounding hills, and the contrasting black sand plains as well as a total of 26 waterfalls.

Day 3 - Snæfellsnes peninsula - miniature Iceland: The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is known for its rugged, natural beauty. It is home to the iconic Snæfellsjökull glacier, which inspired Jules Verne's famous novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth." The peninsula is also home to dramatic lava fields, volcanic craters, hot springs, waterfalls, and black sand beaches. Gatklettur, also known as the "Arch Rock," is a unique rock formation located in the southern coast of Iceland, near the town of Arnarstapi, which we are going to visit on our roadtrip. One of the biggest highlights of this day will be Kirkjufellfoss waterfall and its surrounding area that offer stunning views of the mountain Kirkjufell, which is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland. The combination of the waterfall and the mountain makes for a beautiful and unique landscape. Lóndrangar is part of the Snæfellsjökull National Park, which is a protected nature reserve in Iceland. The Lóndrangar formation is made up of two volcanic rock pillars that rise from the sea to a height of about 75 meters. The pillars were formed by a volcanic eruption and are now home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins and guillemots.
