Complete itinerary of Iceland 3
Southern Iceland: the Southeast
From the Southern Fertile Ground to the Vatnajökull Glacier
On the second day of the trip, you will continue your route through the South of Iceland. You must wake up early, as it is an absolutely unmissable day. There are at least two mandatory tours (HERE and HERE).
Before reaching Skaftafell for your glacier tour, you should stop at the Fjaðrárglíufur gorge. You have to go up a bit, but the view is worth it.
The journey continues along the south coast towards Skaftafell National Park and the Vatnajökull glacier. In Skaftafell you should do a 3-hour hike on the Vatnajökull glacier – find out more HERE. Just think: when will you be able to step on a glacier again?! It’s your unique opportunity to do something that (almost) only Iceland can offer. After this exhilarating experience, stop by one of the best kept secrets on the island: the Freysnes Lamb Burger. Trust us. There is no equal. Furthermore, Iceland is internationally renowned for the quality of its lamb meat.

BOAT TOUR
The Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon
See icebergs and seals in the glacial lagoon
Drive a little further to the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, where you can expect to see floating icebergs and seals going about their daily lives. If you make this trip to Iceland during the months when the temperatures are mostly positive, you can also take a boat tour in the Glacier Lagoon. Can you imagine what it’s like to walk among the icebergs while the seals beckon? Learn more HERE.
