Activity itinerary

Urridafoss Waterfall
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Urriðafoss is a powerful and wide waterfall on the Þjórsá River, Iceland’s longest river. Surrounded by peaceful lowland scenery, this hidden gem offers a raw and unfiltered experience of Icelandic nature without the usual crowds. Though often overlooked in favor of more famous waterfalls on the South Coast, Urriðafoss is one of Iceland’s most voluminous falls. Its thunderous flow and expansive cascade make it a remarkable stop for those seeking something off the beaten path.
Caves of Hella
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
The Caves of Hella offer a unique glimpse into Iceland’s mysterious past. Carved by human hands into soft sandstone, these ancient man-made caves are believed to date back over a thousand years, though their exact origins remain a subject of debate. Step inside these intriguing underground chambers to discover stories of folklore, history, and survival. With their arched passages and carved symbols, the Caves of Hella provide a rare window into early Icelandic life and an experience unlike anything else in the country.
Kvernufoss
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Tucked away in a narrow gorge near the popular Skógar area, Kvernufoss is one of Iceland’s hidden gems. Much like its famous neighbor Seljalandsfoss, it offers the rare and magical experience of walking behind the waterfall, with misty views and a thunderous curtain of water above. Despite being just a short walk from the main road, Kvernufoss remains blissfully uncrowded thanks to its discreet setting. Its peaceful surroundings and dramatic beauty make it a perfect stop for those looking to enjoy the South Coast’s natural wonders away from the tourist rush.
Solheimajokull Glacier
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Sólheimajökull is a striking outlet glacier that extends from the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap in South Iceland. Its rugged surface of crevasses, ice ridges, and ash-streaked formations offers a dramatic and ever-changing landscape shaped by volcanic and glacial forces. Easily accessible and popular for guided glacier hikes, Sólheimajökull provides a rare opportunity to experience the raw power of Iceland’s ice up close. Whether you're trekking across its frozen surface or simply admiring it from the base, the glacier offers an unforgettable glimpse into the island’s wild and icy heart.
Gluggafoss/Merkjarfoss
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Gluggafoss, also known as Merkjárfoss, is a captivating waterfall located in the Fljótshlíð region of South Iceland. Its name, which means “window waterfall,” comes from the unique rock formations that create natural windows through which the water flows. The waterfall is split into multiple tiers, with the upper section cascading through the cliff’s volcanic tuff and the lower plunging freely into a serene pool below. Easily accessible and often overlooked, Gluggafoss offers both geological intrigue and tranquil beauty, making it a rewarding stop off the beaten path.
