Take an easy hike on the ancient ice of\u00a0<strong>S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull glacier<\/strong>\u00a0with a knowledgeable and certified glacier guide. Then take a leisurely stroll along the black sand\u00a0<strong>beach of Reynisfjara<\/strong>\u00a0known for its famous basalt columns and caverns. Witness the Reynisdrangar cliffs and basalt rock stacks that rise from the sea whom which Icelandic legends say are mischievous trolls turned into rock by the rising sun.\u00a0We continue this great sightseeing tour with a stop at Sk\u00f3gafoss waterfall. There you can walk up to the\u00a0<strong>60-meter<\/strong>\u00a0high thundering waterfall to take your most memorable photographs.<\/p>\n<p>Explore the mighty M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull on one of its extraordinary outlet glaciers, S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull. Here we hike through the glacier wonderland, all the while being mesmerized by the blue ice and fascinating ice formations. Discover extraordinary sinkholes, moulins, ice tunnels and small ice caves in amazing scenery.<\/p>\n<p>Experience all of the incredible landscapes as we pass through the fertile farming lands and small villages of south Iceland, where the land is rich in Viking history and heritage and watched over by the infamous Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull and Hekla volcanoes. On clear days you will have an excellent view of these famous volcanoes. When we drive under the foothills of\u00a0<strong>Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull\u00a0<\/strong>you can glimpse the Westman Islands rising steeply from the ocean just a few kilometres off the coast.<\/p>\n<p>Book this great value and easy sightseeing tour with an adventurous twist. The sights are breathtaking, the grandeur unforgettable. Where else in the world can you stand on 700 years old glacier ice, walk behind a 65 meters high waterfall and stroll along a volcanic black sand beach in one day?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;1340,1341,1342,1343,1344,2135&#8243; gallery_orderby=&#8221;rand&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; pagination_font_size_tablet=&#8221;51&#8243; pagination_line_height_tablet=&#8221;2&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div id=\"bokun-w4962_f3d1cd8d_30d3_4075_871e_44b2f25330aa\">Loading&#8230;<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->var w4962_f3d1cd8d_30d3_4075_871e_44b2f25330aa;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->(function(d, t) {<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> var host = 'widgets.bokun.io';<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> var frameUrl = 'https:\/\/' + host + '\/widgets\/4962?bookingChannelUUID=d0dd2e14-ba27-443c-a78a-8083743f4dd4&activityId=5821&lang=en&ccy=ISK&hash=w4962_f3d1cd8d_30d3_4075_871e_44b2f25330aa';<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> var s = d.createElement(t), options = {'host': host, 'frameUrl': frameUrl, 'widgetHash':'w4962_f3d1cd8d_30d3_4075_871e_44b2f25330aa', 'autoResize':true,'height':'','width':'100%', 'minHeight': 0,'async':true, 'ssl':true, 'affiliateTrackingCode': '', 'transientSession': true, 'cookieLifetime': 43200 };<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> s.src = 'https:\/\/' + host + '\/assets\/javascripts\/widgets\/embedder.js';<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> s.onload = s.onreadystatechange = function() {<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> var rs = this.readyState; if (rs) if (rs != 'complete') if (rs != 'loaded') return;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> try { <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> w4962_f3d1cd8d_30d3_4075_871e_44b2f25330aa = new BokunWidgetEmbedder(); w4962_f3d1cd8d_30d3_4075_871e_44b2f25330aa.initialize(options); w4962_f3d1cd8d_30d3_4075_871e_44b2f25330aa.display();<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> } catch (e) {}<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> };<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> var scr = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0], par = scr.parentNode; par.insertBefore(s, scr);<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->})(document, 'script');<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/script>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|10px||20px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"duration\">Highlights<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-xxs-12 col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-12 col-lg-6\">\n<ul>\n<li>Seljandsfoss Waterfall<\/li>\n<li>S\u00f3lheimaj\u00f6kull Glacier<\/li>\n<li>Reynisfjara black sand beaches<\/li>\n<li>Sk\u00f3gafoss Waterfall<\/li>\n<li>Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull Glacier \/ Volcano view (subject to weather)<\/li>\n<li>Hekla Volcano view (subject to weather)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Glacier Hike<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tour Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Minibus tour:<\/strong> max 18 pax<br \/><strong>Duration:\u00a0<\/strong>approximately 12 hours.<br \/><strong>Minimum age: <\/strong>10<strong><br \/>Pick up information:<\/strong>\u00a0 Be ready at 08:00 AM for pick up from your Reykjav\u00edk accommodation and please note that it can take up to 30 minutes for us to arrive.\u00a0<strong>Please note that your vehicle will be marked with Arctic Adventure&#8217;s logo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong>:\u00a0<em>All glacier and sightseeing trips are undertaken on the responsibility of its participants.
