Islande Classique (French)

Explore the incredible and stunning ice world of the Sólheimajökull Glacier on a ravishing glacier walking tour right off Iceland&#8217;s beautiful South Coast. It is a hiking adventure you&#8217;ll never forget.
Glacier Experience is a small group experience that offers an easy glacier hike on Sólheimajökull glacier with an experienced glacier guide and is available all year around. Add even more adventure to your stay in Iceland and come explore this amazing crawling glacier with us. Sólheimajökull glacier is an outlet from the mighty Mýrdalsjökull and is surrounded by some of Iceland&#8217;s grandest volcanoes. A glacier lagoon forms in front of the glacier during summertime, only adding to the location&#8217;s charm.
Your Glacier Experience tour starts with an introduction to the necessary glacier equipment provided in the tour and your expert guide going over the safety rules to explore the beautiful Sólheimajökull glacier. You will then take a short but scenic walk across the pitch-black volcanic ash and sands that lay in between the Sólheimajökull glacier and the parking lot.
The ash and sand are from the volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull stratovolcano that took place in the year 2010 and is a reminder of the closeness of volcanoes and glaciers in Iceland. Truly a fantastic and unique start! At the foot of the glacier you will lace up our crampons and follow your guide to explore this otherworldly natural wonder; a rugged, raw and ever-changing hub of ancient frozen water.
You will see how the primal elements shape and affect the glacier, creating mesmerising labyrinths of ice ridges and deep V-shaped crevasses that crisscross and scar the surface of the ice. Not to mention the big sinkholes, called “moulins”, that sometimes have drilled their way through the glacier, draining the meltwater of the ice through little waterfalls and streams.
This popular day tour is the perfect way to know the actual reason behind the name Ice-land!
Note: The hiking part of the tour is about 2 hours, with 1-1.5 hours spent on the glistening glacier.

All Year

Glacier Experience – Sólheimajökull Easy Glacier Hike

Snæfellsnes is known as a miniature version of Iceland. In a relatively small area, you can see lava fields, mountains, small towns, a glacier, sea cliffs, lava caves, black sand beaches and more.
Departing from Reykjavik, your first stop is at the Berserkjahraun Lava Fields, where jagged formations from ancient volcanic eruptions create an otherworldly atmosphere steeped in legend. Then, marvel at the iconic Mt. Kirkjufell and its nearby Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls, capturing picture-perfect views of Iceland’s most photographed mountain.
The hauntingly beautiful Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach, lined with smooth pebbles and scattered shipwreck remains, offers a poignant reminder of the country’s maritime past. Lóndrangar Basalt Cliffs rise dramatically from the ocean, remnants of ancient volcanic craters, home to diverse birdlife and breathtaking coastal views.
In Snæfellsjökull National Park, explore a wonderland of volcanic landscapes and glaciers, famously inspiring Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The Arnarstapi Cliff Viewpoint provides sweeping vistas of rugged sea cliffs and unique rock formations, perfect for scenic walks and birdwatching.
Visit the stark and beautiful Búðir Black Church, a solitary wooden structure set against a vast lava field, offering a striking contrast to the surrounding landscape and a favorite for photographers. Conclude your journey at Ytri Tunga Beach, where the golden sands provide a peaceful setting to observe playful seals basking along the shore, offering a serene and unforgettable end to your exploration of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Snæfellsnes Peninsula Small Group Tour

This tour will take you to all three attractions of the famous Golden Circle directly from Reykjavik, with an added visit to the unique Secret Lagoon. It is a perfect Icelandic experience giving you a chance to visit waterfalls, geysers, and historical sights and soak in a natural hot spring.
Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall is one of the three sights of the Golden Circle route. This incredible waterfall attracts thousands of visitors every year, and for a good reason –  according to the World of Waterfalls, it is one of the top ten best waterfalls in the world.
Next you will have the opportunity to walk among the bubbling hot springs of the Geysir geothermal area, but make sure to stay within the restricted area for your safety. Strokkur geyser is a site that you should definitely not miss; it spouts water sometimes up to 40m(100 ft) high!
Thingvellir National Park is a beloved place for Icelanders, as well as a UNESCO world heritage site. Here Icelandic history and great geological wonders come together, making the place one of Iceland‘s most symbolic sites.
The stone-lined Secret Lagoon is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland, a natural hot pool suitable for bathing year-round. The locals call this the “Secret Lagoon” because it was known only to them for a long time. Now you have a chance to bathe in the hot water of this outstanding pool with its magical geothermal surroundings.

The majority (about two-thirds) of Iceland’s birds are seabirds and various species of wetland birds. Almost 80 bird species breed regularly in Iceland. Many of these birds only spend a few months in the country each year; others are permanent residents. In total around 30 species have been added to Iceland’s bird population during the last century. The vast majority of the species breed in neighbouring European countries, or around the Arctic region. Three species have entered Iceland from North America:  the Great Northern Diver (Common Loon), the Barrow’s Goldeneye, and the Harlequin Duck. Iceland is their only breeding location in Europe. Several migratory species stop-over in Iceland on their way between their breeding grounds north of the Arctic Circle and their wintering grounds further south on the planet.  These species include the Knot, sanderling, Turnstone, Brent Goose, White-fronted Goose, and Barnacle Goose. A total of around 380 species have been observed at least once in Iceland, most of them being migratory.

Discover a unique experience of the healing powers of the geothermal springs. Soak in a natural pool, listen to the bubbling hot spring in the steam rooms, or (for the adventurous), take a dip in the refreshing lake.
Since 1929, locals have been enjoying the healing powers of the natural steam baths by Lake Laugarvatn. Hot, healing steam simmers directly from the ground through grids in the cabin floors of the three traditional steam rooms. The temperature of the steam varies between 40°C (104°F) and 50°C (122°F). Humidity is very high in the steam room cabins. Grids in the floor of the steam rooms allow you to hear and smell the boiling natural hot spring right underneath, creating a natural and unique experience.
Next to the steam rooms is Ylur, a Finnish-style sauna. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful lake view through the large window.  Three connected outdoor mineral baths vary in depth, size and temperature.  A hot tub built at a slightly higher level offers a panoramic view of the beautiful surroundings.
Completing the ensemble is the lake itself and the beach. You can walk into the cool lake from a pier or walk on the warm black sand beach. Cold bathing has beneficial health effects.
The café at Laugarvatn Fontana offers a selection of healthy and locally produced delicacies and refreshments, including traditional steam-baked rye bread.

Your tour includes a guided caving tour in English and use of a helmet and headlamp. A return bus transfer to the cave can be added at the time of purchase. We do recommend you bring warm clothes and sturdy shoes. There is usually some water dripping from the ceiling, so wearing a water resistant or waterproof jacket/clothes is also a good idea.

Lava Tunnel Tour – Caving

Immerse yourself in the clearest water in the world and float between two continents in Iceland! A snorkelling adventure in the famous Silfra fissure is an unforgettable experience.
Snorkel in Silfra, where the astonishingly clear water reveals a mesmerising underwater world full of coluors you don’t see above the surface. Silfra is a fissure created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates cutting through Iceland. A natural lava filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth.
After you arrive at Silfra, your guide will give you your dry suit and snorkelling equipment. Your snorkel guide will explain how to use this equipment and how to ensure that you will be warm and comfortable during your 30 to 40-minute snorkelling tour.
During your snorkel you will explore the four main parts of Silfra. You will float through Big Crack, Silfra’s narrowest section where the continental plates are so close you can almost touch them. The fissure then widens into Silfra Hall. Here the full spectrum of Silfra’s colours and clarity become all the more apparent. At this point if you look at just the right angle you can see all the way to Lake Þingvallavatn in the distance. Near to the opening to Þingvellir lake you will enter the deeper waters of Silfra Cathedral, where you’ll feel like you are flying over the boulders and glacial silt. Your snorkel is finished in the endless visibility of Silfra Lagoon.
Make sure to drink some of the Silfra water while you are snorkeling! Who knows when you will be able to drink water so pure again?
Duration of snorkelling tour: 2.5 hours (30-40 minutes of snorkelling).

Enjoy a natural and historical treasure in the Golden Circle area: the peaceful and mystical Secret Lagoon hot spring pool.
The Secret Lagoon is natural, simple, and unique for you so that you can get the true Icelandic experience. The Secret Lagoon, known locally as &#8220;Gamla Laugin&#8221;, is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. Local residents built it in 1891 at Hverahólmi, a geothermal area near Flúðir village.
What makes the lagoon special is the rich natural resources of warm water coming from the hot springs. Vaðmálahver, Básahver, and Litli Geysir (an active geyser which spouts every few minutes for the guests), provide 100% of the water supply in the lagoon.  The pool water flows continuously, and it takes only 24 hours to complete replacement. Warm, clean, and rich in sulphur, the water stays at 38-40°C (100 – 104°F) year-round.
A walking path around the pool lets you safely watch the boiling, gushing springs of water from the hot springs.
The Secret Lagoon has modern changing rooms. A bistro sells snacks, cold sandwiches and drinks. You can also purchase drinks to enjoy in the lagoon itself.

The next thing you know, you are zipping above the canyon, enjoying an exciting and amazing view of the area.
Our second Zipline, The Gentle Giant, is just around the corner. This is our longest ride; our guests often think this is the prettiest one. Then we will take a short hike (about 10 minutes) through the amazing rock formation of Grafargil (Grave Canyon) to the next Zipline, the Leap of Faith. We won’t tell you more for now because we don’t want to spoil your surprise. Finally, we’ll take the fourth Zipline, the Big Rush. It will take you over a stunning waterfall.

&#8220;Glacier Wonders&#8221; is a superb but easy glacier hiking tour from Skaftafell into the magnificent ice-world of Falljökull glacier, a tongue of the mighty Vatnajökull glacier. You will learn how a living glacier moves and why this magical ice-kingdom is always changing.
Meet your certified and experienced glacier guide at Vatnajökull National Park. Then the excitement really begins!
Start with a drive towards Falljökull glacier through stunningly spectacular scenery. Watch the soft vegetation around Skaftafell give way to the impressive mountain landscapes. The drive takes around 15 minutes; you’ll then hike for about 30 minutes up to Falljökull.  You&#8217;ll see stunning mountain glacier views with every step. Hvannadalshnúkur, Iceland’s highest peak will tower high above you.
At Falljökull, you&#8217;ll strap on ice crampons for the magic moment – setting foot on the glacier! Depending on the conditions, you’ll spend about 1,5 hours on the glacier. Your guide will explain this unbelievably vibrant and living world to you. You will see incredible crevasses wending their way, twisting and turning through the glacier. These labyrinths are always forming, moving and changing in tune with the dance of nature. See the great moulins, which descend deep into the glacier, and stunning ice falls as ancient ice drops hundreds of metres from the mountain top. A glacier is never static, its gradual movement makes a glacier one of the most magnificent natural forces in the world.
