Your private guide will pick you up at Hrífunes Guesthouse after breakfast. First destination is Eldgjá. It is easily accessible on foot with a beautiful waterfall that runs through the ancient lava formations. A relatively short hike to the waterfall Ófærufoss is appropriate if the weather permits.

After a lunch out in nature, we drive from Eldgjá through Álftavatnskrókur area, crossing mountain plateaus and some glacier rivers. With the monumental mountain Mælifell as one of the highlights of the day we cross the Mælifellssandur black deserts.

On our way back from the highlands we will traverse the ancient Öldufellsleið route into the direction of our accommodation down on the south coast.

There are countless natural wonders to see here, and you'll start with a glacier hike on Sólheimajökull or Falljökull glacier where you'll trek across the white expanse, past deep crevasses and strange ice sculptures.

After about three hours of outdoor activities, you'll get some hot beverages for the road. You'll then head for Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. There, icebergs that have broken off a nearby glacier float peacefully on the serene lake.We will enjoy the rest of the day in Vatnajökull National Park, visiting some locations away from the crowds. 
DAY 5
VATNAJÖKULL NATIONAL PARK II
– PRIVATE ZODIAC BOAT TOUR

After a quality breakfast at your hotel, we will start our day down by the black sand diamond beach.

The first scheduled activity however is the amazing  Zodiac boat tour at 10.30, that is definitely one of the highlights of the trip. You will be sailing in Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon among the crystalized iceberg that can date back more than on thousand years. This activity can also be done as an kayaking tour in the glacier lagoon.

After the boat tour, we are going to enjoy the Vatnajökull glacer Park to the fullest, visting the Black Sand Diamond beach and Jökulsárlón glaicer Lagoon. We will also visit Fjallsárlón glacier Lagoon away from the crowds, surrounded by icebergs that have broken off a nearby glacier floating peacefully on the serene lake.

SKAFTAFELL NATIONAL PARK

We will start the day by going to Skaftafell National Park. There we have the option of hiking to one of the outskirt glaciers of Vatnajökull Glacier or hike to the beautiful Svaritfoss waterfall with amazing views on the way.
