Day 3: Glacial Wonders
From Reykjavik Airport, we fly east to Höfn, a peaceful harbour town near the massive Vatnajökull glacier. From there, we head to Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, where white and aqua-blue icebergs calved from the glacier float peacefully in the crystal clear water. Here we will embark on an exciting excursion by boat, zigzagging between oddly-shaped icebergs with possible sightings of seals. Our next stop is to the base of Vatnajökull for an exciting guided snowmobile tour on the glacier. Surrounded by snow and ice as far as the eye can see, you will be awe-struck by the immensity of this remarkable environment.

Highlights: Höfn, Vatnajökull glacier, and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon.

After enjoying some refreshments at noon, we pay a visit to some volcanic sites, including the Krafla caldera, and then to the steaming Hverarönd geothermal area, famous for its bubbling mud pots and vivid sulphur deposits. Finally, we end our day tour with a walk at mythical Dimmuborgir (“Dark Castles”), a surreal lava field with bizarre rock formations and rock pillars that form a virtual labyrinth.
