“The raw beauty and majesty of the mountains are always an inspiration to me. I never cease to be amazed whenever I walk up one. Sometimes sitting and immersing myself in their presence is enough. I live for these opportunities.”
One of the few stunning waterfalls not to be missed in Iceland! Seize the chance to take a walk up close and behind the waterfall
Another one of the few easy to access waterfalls just off the highway. Surely, worth the thrill of getting splashed visiting this spectacular waterfall.
The national park has the largest glacier in Iceland!
This waterfall has a story behind it that a woman and her two children lived on a nearby farm. The woman went for a church service leaving the two children at home. On her return, the children were missing. The people searched everywhere for them and soon found footsteps leading up a stone arch that crosses the river. The mother was so devastated she destroyed the stone arch so that no children could ever cross the falls again. Barnafoss means "children's waterfalls" Nearby Barnafoss there's another equally stunning waterfall - Hraunfossar which means "lava waterfalls". These two falls are what you might call an off-the-beaten track hidden gems. Definitely a must-see!
Martian-like terrain in North Ireland. Not much to say about this, except: "go-see lah! see oredy then you know".
One of the many volcanic craters you may come across in Iceland.on your drive through its spectacularly unique landscapes. (Notice the road that runs so close to such stunning scenery)
translates, "God of the Waterfalls". What more is there to say.
Black sand beach.
"Golden Waterfall"
One of the more stunning sights you see on this tour is this glacier lagoon. Floating icebergs dots the still blue waters of this lagoon filled by the surrounding glaciers of the larger Vatnajokull glacier. The glacier lagoon flows out into the Atlantic leaving chunks of ice on the black sand beach - creating another interesting sight in the area called Diamond Beach (see next highlight)
waaahh! So niiiiiice!
Definitely a worthwhile experience doing this walk and glad was done at night though was quite hard trying to keep awake at certain times. Pace was good and Daniel was very helpful and encouraging. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to do the trail with this group!
The camaraderie and mood was unbelievable and softened the toughness of the hike. Enjoyed it so much that I am looking to do it again, albeit only by night.
Felt like a Natgeo hiking trip. Get to see plenty of wildlife, northern light, beautiful lakes & breath-taking hikes (crypt lake trail is a big bonus). Just bask in mother's nature arms. To be honest, felt more like a road trip with great friends, and the itinerary is pretty flexible. Thanks Daniel ... Read more
Loved this trip. Excellent planning by Daniel. The flexibility of the itinerary throughout almost felt like a road trip on your own minus the hassles of doing tedious homework! Daniel made sure everyone was taken care of. Not easy considering that there were members who had slightly different itiner... Read more
