A region of towering volcanoes, huge glaciers, cascading waterfalls and rugged lava fields, south Iceland is an arresting natural playground. Home to Vatnajökull National Park (Europe’s largest), a string of active volcanoes, and vast tracts of untouched wilderness, it’s a place where the sheer scale of the landscape is hard to comprehend. You can marvel at the icebergs in Jökulsárlón, take a flightseeing trip from Skaftafell, hike around Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, or explore the black-sand beaches and basalt columns of Reynisfjara.

JökulsárlónThe range and concentration of attractions make it a popular destination, but our specialists have explored the main sights as well as the lesser-known ones and will use their knowledge and personal experience to help you avoid the crowds. They’ll guide you on how to see the busiest sights in new and unusual ways and introduce you to some of the region’s lesser-known treasures.

Whether you want to get away from it all and see the puffins on the Westman Islands, hike in the untouched wilderness of Þórsmörk or Landmannalaugar, explore the Laki lava fields or get right up onto a glacier by snowmobile, our specialists will carefully plan your trip to south Iceland as an individual tailor-made itinerary to match your preferences.
