This two-day hiking tour covers top locations such as powerful waterfalls, black sand beaches, and the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. On the first day, the tour includes a glacier hike with safety gear provided, leading to the ice cave. Travelers will spend the night in accommodation arranged by the company. The second day continues along the South Coast to visit the glacier lagoon and other landmarks. The tour includes breakfast, glacier equipment, and onboard WiFi. A driver and guide accompany the group throughout. Hunting for the northern lights is part of the itinerary, though their appearance cannot be guaranteed. Lunch and dinner are not included, and some hiking gear like boots and waterproof clothing are available to rent separately.

Heading off day number 2 is Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, a 200m deep lagoon fed by Breiðarmerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Europe's largest glacier. Enormous icebergs come from the glacier all year around so the lagoon is usually filled with ice that floats South. Try walking alongside the glacier lagoon enjoying the magnificent views.

On the other side of the road the ice bergs from Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon float into the Atlantic Ocean where they are quickly thrown back to shore by the tide and winds. This black sand beach is full of smaller ice rocks in all shapes and sizes, sparkling like diamonds in the daylight.

The Black Sand Beach of Reynisfjara where the Atlantic coastline presents massive waves hitting the unique basalt columns in the cliffs above the sand. Rock pillars in water and the cliffs of Dýrhóley are seen in the distance. This area of the South is also a paradise for bird lovers, as puffins and dozens of other unique species nest on top of these cliffs in the summertime from June to August.
