GJ-064 SHORT BREAK

South Iceland, Vatnajökull & Reykjavik, 6 days / 5 nights

Day 1: WELCOME TO ICELAND (49 km/30 miles)
Arrival and overnight in Reykjavik. This tour is ideal as an all-year short break program.

Day 2: GOLDEN CIRCLE
(230 km/143 miles)
Today's program is called Golden Circle. Start with Thingvellir National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. It offers numerous hiking trails; many are ideal for short and leisurely walks.  Thingvellir is the cradle of the nation's history and independence of its people. Thingvellir is also a site of exceptional geological interest and the ravine edge is the perfect spot for an overview of the tectonic forces that have shaped the landscape. Continue to Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir hot springs. Overnight in South Iceland.

Day 3: SOUTH SHORE (240 km/149 miles)

Visit the waterfalls Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss. Nearby is the lovely Skogar folk museum with turf houses. The bird cliffs of Dyrhólaey and Reynisfjara are simply amazing. We recommend also a stroll on the black lava beaches of Vík.  In South Iceland you find the two glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Myrdalsjökull. 2 nights stay in Skaftafell area.

Day 4: VATNAJÖKULL NATIONAL PARK
(160 km/99 miles)
Vatnajökull is Europe's largest glacier and National Park that includes numerous huge glacier tongues that descend to the sandy outwash plains which stretch south to the coast. Spend a full day exploring Vatnajökull/Skaftafell National Park and Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon.There is a lot to do here if you like hiking, which varies from rather easy to very hard. A popular hike is to Svartifoss waterfall. Jökulsárlón, the lagoon at the mouth of Vatnajökull glacier, is several kilometres long and wide and covered with icebergs that break off the glacier. We recommend a boat tour on the glacier lagoon and also a stroll along the black lava sand beach that is covered with stranded icebergs . Here you can experience the rough  North Atlantic surf.

Day 5: SOUTH COAST
(330 km/205 miles)
There are plenty of natural wonders along the south coast back to Reykjavik. We recommend a visit to the small turf church at Núpsstaður, a walk around the Dwarf Cliffs and a walk up to Systrafoss waterfall in Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Nearby is the fabulous 100m-deep gorge called Fjaðrárglújfur which sides are full of spikes, arches and scary ledges. Overnight in the capital.

Day 6: DEPARTURE (49 km/30 miles)
