Day 2 of our Ice Cave Expedition tour (continued)

Day 2 itinerary

Crystal Beach – This time we got to visit the Crystal beach during the day to snap some fun pictures.

Glacier lagoon – Jökulsarlon – Jomar and I loved the Glacier Lagoon. We could’ve been here for days taking photographs. It was so peaceful and quiet.

Ice cave - Breiðamerkurjökull – We drove 20 minutes on a very bumpy road to get to this ice cave. The weather worked out where we could find a safe entry into the cave, underneath the glacier. Being surrounded by ice, it felt like time was standing still. We didn’t wander too far into the cave, but during our hike we crawled 20 feet on our knees to get to a second opening. It was surreal. 

Eldhraun – Then we stopped by one of the biggest lava fields in the world. I love looking at moss. I don’t know what it is. It makes me want to roll around in the spongy green earth.

Following our adventure, we returned to Reykjavík in front of the striking Hallgrims Church.

We had so much fun on our GoEcco tour, and we highly recommend them for touring Iceland.

Two days of adventure in southern Iceland

Jomar and I booked the two-day “Ice Cave Expedition” tour with GoEcco. Here was our itinerary:

Day 1

Raufarhólshellir – We slid down a steep hole to enter this lava cave. The cave  has been used to shoot scenes in Batman Begins and Game of Thrones (Winter is always coming in Iceland. It makes total sense).

Gljúfrabúi – Hidden behind a small entryway, we discovered a waterfall to fill up our water bottles with fresh water. The glacier water tasted so refreshing!

Seljalandsfoss – Afterwards, we climbed up some very icy stairs to walk behind this wonderful waterfall. It was so magical.

Eyjafjallajökull – While on the road, we saw one of the smaller ice caps of Iceland.

Skógarfoss – Then we visited the third highest waterfall in Iceland. There is often a rainbow surrounding the waterfall because of the mist. Found me some gold!

DC3 plane wreck – We ventured onto some very icy roads to see this plane wreck where Justin Bieber filmed a music video.  

Reynisfjara – Jomar and I accidentally got our shoes wets at this black sand beach. The waves are very sporadic so beware!  

Crystal Beach – Our tour guide stopped the bus to pick up a chunk of ice from a 2,000-year-old iceberg for our drinks. Because this ice is so dense, it actually melts slower. Amazing!

Hrolllaugsstaðir – Goecco reserved a charming old boarding school as our home for the night. They even built a small tent for us to sit in.
