Continue to Skógafoss waterfall to watch the Skógá River fall 60 meters at the powerful cascades. Discover the secret waterfalls of Kvernufoss and Írafoss, and continue to the black sand beach at Reynisfjara under Mt. Reynisfjall. Drive on to Seljaland to spend the night at a country guesthouse close to Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Search the sky for the Northern Lights if conditions are favorable.
Day 2: Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon - Blue Ice Cave
Drive through the village of Vik on the southern tip of Iceland and make your way to Skaftafell National Park where views of the wilderness will take your breath away. See the icebergs of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon as they crack off Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and float out to sea.
