Your day starts at 9 am at the BSI bus terminal in Reykjavik. Here, you'll board a comfortable coach with free Wi-Fi and then set out on a picturesque journey towards the South Coast, with the magnificent Solheimajokull glacier as your destination.

The driver will make a short stop at Hvolsvolllur village, where you can purchase lunch. Alternatively, you can bring a packed lunch. You'll have time to sit down and eat your lunch before the hike and can also have a snack afterward.

As you drive past mesmerizing landscapes, Myrdalsjokull, Iceland's fourth-largest glacier, reveals itself in all its glory. Soon after, you'll arrive at the car park for the Solheimajokull glacier, ready for an unforgettable 1-1.5 hour hike.

First, you'll walk from the parking lot to the glacier's edge. This scenic path is an excellent warm-up for the glacier hike ahead. You'll walk past a lagoon dotted with icebergs at the glacier's base, a beautiful scene, yet a reminder the glacier is fast retreating. 

An experienced guide will provide you with crampons and essential ice hiking gear, ensuring your safety and comfort. You'll ascend onto the ice field to uncover a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges, and deep crevasses. As you traverse the ethereal surroundings, your guide will share insights about the glacier, enriching your adventure with knowledge.

After the hike, the bus driver will take you for a guided tour of the South Coast's two most famous waterfalls, Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss.

Skogafoss, one of Iceland's largest waterfalls, captivates visitors with its powerful plunge and frequent rainbows. With its breathtaking 197-foot (60-meter) drop and staggering 82-foot (25-meter) width, Skogafoss is a testament to Iceland's raw natural power. Its wide curtain of water creates a thunderous roar you can hear from afar. 

As one of Iceland's most iconic and photographed waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss is known for its captivating beauty and unique path, allowing visitors to walk behind its cascading waters. This majestic waterfall tumbles 197 feet (60 meters) from the cliffs above, offering a picturesque spectacle. 

The experience of strolling behind the waterfall's veil and feeling the gentle spray is refreshing and mesmerizing. Ensure your camera is ready to capture the beautiful setting in all its glory.

As your unforgettable day ends, your bus will transport you back to Reykjavik, arriving at the BSI bus terminal around 7:30 pm. On your return journey, you'll have the opportunity to reflect on the day's outstanding experiences and share tales of your adventures.
