Itinerary
DAY 1
Volcanos and waterfalls.
We start with an early pickup in Reykjavík City. Driving out of the capital we will head east towards the ancient seabed of Iceland, our current south coast.
 
We will not spend to much time on route 1, because we will drive inland shortly after driving through Selfoss, where the magnificent Háifoss waterfall stands 122m tall. We want to enjoy that one and in good weather, a short hike would be a special delight. 

Next stop is Rauðaskál or the Red bowl which lies in the hills of our most frequent erupting volcano Mt. Hekla. This would be the second option for a short hike. While your standing on the edge of the red bowl, different lava fields from numerous past eruptions can be seen below and on a perfect day one can see as far as Langjökull glacier, that lies far inland.

After a nice local lunch we will be back on route one, where we will spend the rest of our day visiting epic waterfalls like SeljalandsfossGljúfrabúi and Skógafoss. The black sand beach Reynisfjara is on the to do list, where one can walk along the beach with a view of the roaring North Atlantic Ocean.
 
If needed we will make a quick stop in Vík, before heading to our super friendly Hrífunes guesthouse.
 
The only thing left to complete your first day is to taste the best local cuisine on the whole island and sharing stories with other travellers from all over the world. 

Duration 9-11 hours
DAY 2
Laki expedition.
After a very pleasant breakfast we take off to Lakagígar.
 
With a lunchpack for the road, we will drive far into the highlands, towards the middle of the island. We want to visit renown Laki, that is a part of a 25 km long volcanic fissure known as Lakagígar. They were formed in Skaftáreldar between 1783-1784 and are evidence of one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in Icelandic history. With devastating local effects for years to come, the travelling ash also had global effects, causing failure of crops throughout europe, that many state was one of the reasons for the France revolution. 
 
We will eat lunch in the highlands and enjoy the whole day in this volcanic wonderland.
 
In the end of the day we will head back to Hrífunes and enjoy another high quality dinner.

8-10 hours
DAY 3
Fjallabak Nature Reserve.
We leave Hrífunes after breakfast again with a lunch pack for the road.
 
The first destination is Eldgjá or The Fire Canyon. Its a massive volcanic fissure accessible on foot with the beautiful Ófærufoss waterfall that runs through ancient lava formations.
 
Driving from Eldgjá we drive through Álftavatnskrókur with monumental Mælifell mountain and Mælifellssandur desert with some serious river crossings, black deserts, monumental mountains and glacier views like no other.
 
After eating lunch out in nature, we will travel through Hvanngil, Álftavatn following the Fjallabak S. route down to the south coast.
 
Dinner and accommodation in luxurious Hotel Skálakot Manor Farm Resort. 

9-11 hours

Seltún-Kleifarvatn.
