4 Day Itinerary in Iceland | Day 3 - Southern Iceland + Glacier Hike

Day Three | Southern Iceland + Glacier Hiking

8 am - 10 pm | Southern Iceland Tour with Reykjavik Excursions

1st stop: Skogafoss

The sound of the water crashing at the bottom was pretty frightening. Make sure to wear a waterproof jacket! There are stairs to the right of the waterfall, where you can climb up and see the waterfall from a different perspective. We didn't get to go up because we were given 15 minutes at this waterfall. ):

2nd stop: Skaftafell National Park + Glacier Hiking

The fish was very juicy and tender. It came with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. It tasted good but not good enough to cost $22. Other than the expensive food truck and confusion, the glacier hike was really cool!

Our guide, August, from Icelandic Mountain Guides was great. I would've tipped him but I was not carrying any cash on me. (sorry, August) Apparently Batman and Interstellar were filmed here. If you guys have the money and time, you should check out one of their glacier hikes! They are a separate company from Reykjavik Excursions so you can book a tour with them independently. August taught us about the glaciers and even chipped off a piece of ice for us.

3rd stop: Dinner in Vik, a small town in Southern Iceland

I didn't end up taking a lot of photos here. Reykjavik Excursions really rushed us... they gave us 30 minutes to order and eat our food. The line was long because locals and everyone on the tour bus were trying to get food during dinner time. We were just glad that the food was cheap, compared to the expensive fish & chips we had earlier that day.

4th stop: Seljalandsfoss

This is the famous waterfall that you can walk behind of. We were able to walk behind it and, let me tell yall, it was so cool. I was so sad to leave so soon... );

Iceland is still SOOOO beautiful. I would recommend renting a car and driving down along Southern Iceland so that you can take as much time at each site. It's really a lot to take in and worth looking at.
