After some light breakfast at the hotel, we will travel to Basecamp while making stops along the way:
- Seljalandsfoss
Considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, Seljalandsfoss is 65 meters tall with a pathway leading behind the waterfall for you to experience the waterfall up close. You’ll want to bring a raincoat.
- Skogafoss
With a width of 85 feet and and a drop of 197 feet, Skogafoss is one of Iceland’s largest waterfalls. It can be viewed from the top as a steep staircase leads to an observational platform above the cascade.
- Solheimasandur plane wreckage
In 1973 a United States Navy DC plane ran out of fuel and crashed on the black beach at Sólheimasandur, in the South Coast of Iceland. Fortunately, everyone in that plane survived. The remains are still on the sand very close to the sea. The scene looks like something out of a science fiction movie and is incredible to see in person.
- Dyrholaey
Dyrhólaey, formerly known by seamen as Cape Portland, is a small promontory located on the south coast of Iceland, not far from the village Vík. It was formerly an island of volcanic origin, which is also known by the Icelandic word eyja meaning island.
- Reynisfjara black sand beach
With its enormous basalt stacks, roaring Atlantic waves and stunning panoramas, Reynisfjara is widely considered to be the most beautiful example of Iceland’s black sand beach
