Day 3 Itinerary:

Stay at Hótel Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon Hotel - Enjoy breakfast and the sauna & hot tubs at the hotel before heading back to Reykjavik.

Stop 1: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon & Diamond Beach

• Witness floating icebergs in the lagoon, sometimes with seals.

• Walk along the black sand beach, where icebergs wash up from the lagoon.

Stop 2: Fjaorarglhufur Canyon and Waterfall - this is more off the beaten path from the big tour groups

Stop 3: Gas and snack in Vik

Stop 4: Sky Lagoon in Reykjavik (book tickets ahead of time). We recommend doing the 7 step ritual and private changing rooms. We enjoyed going just before dark to see the lagoon in both the light and in the dark. It stays open late making it a perfect stop after a long driving day.

Tips for the Day

• Gas Up anytime you see a gas station, just in case.

• Clothing: Layer up, bring waterproof gear, and wear sturdy waterproof shoes.

• Batteries die quicker in cold weather so don’t forget extra batteries for camera and phones.
