Description

Experience Iceland's raw, natural beauty on a full-day tour from Reykjavik, exploring cascading waterfalls and the expansive Myrdalsjokull glacier. Book now for an unforgettable 10.5-hour snowmobiling and waterfall tour, perfect for nature lovers and thrill-seekers.

Your journey begins at 9 am as you board a comfortable, modern bus in Reykjavik. The buzz of the city quickly gives way to sweeping landscapes of rugged, unspoiled wilderness. You'll travel along the South Coast, one of Iceland's most famous sightseeing destinations, known for its idyllic waterfalls, glaciers, beaches, and villages.

The bus driver will stop at Hvolsvollur, a chance for you to purchase lunch to eat later. Alternatively, you can bring a packed lunch.

Your first sightseeing stop is Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls. Here, you can walk behind the cascading veil of water, feeling the cool mist on your face while appreciating the unique perspective. 

Seljalandsfoss boasts pristine beauty in a fairytale-like setting. It's an excellent photography destination, so ensure your camera is ready to capture everlasting memories of this not-to-be-missed natural wonder.

Next, you'll head to Skogafoss waterfall, another of nature's marvels and among Iceland's most powerful and stunning cascades. Witness the waterfall's sheer power as it plunges 197 feet (60 meters) down, generating an impressive spray. 

You can get quite close to Skogafoss at its base because the terrain is relatively flat. Climb the stairs next to the waterfall for an elevated view that truly encapsulates the majesty of Skogafoss. 

After the famous South Coast waterfalls, you're in for a shift of pace. Your bus driver will take you to the Myrdalsjokull glacier for an unforgettable snowmobiling adventure. 

Professional guides will equip you with snowmobiles and all the necessary safety gear. You'll need to be 17 or older with a license to drive a snowmobile, but those as young as eight can ride as a passenger. Previous snowmobiling experience isn't necessary because the vehicles are easy to operate.

After a short briefing, you'll be tearing across the pristine, white expanses of the glacier. Breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding icy wilderness complement the adrenaline surge. The vast solitude of the glacier offers a remarkable contrast to the lively waterfalls visited earlier.

As the day concludes, you board the bus for the return journey to Reykjavik, arriving at 7:30 pm. As the city lights grow closer, you can reflect on the unforgettable experiences of the day, each one adding a unique piece to your Icelandic adventure.

Embrace the beauty of Iceland's natural treasures with this 10.5-hour adventure, including glacier snowmobiling and visiting the most beautiful South Coast waterfalls. Check availability now by choosing a date.
