The ideal short break during the off-season. This 8-day tour introduces you to the major sites of South Iceland. Highlights include the old Viking Parliament site of Þingvellir National Park, the wonderland of Geysir with Strokkur, Gullfoss Waterfall, the Golden Waterfall, one of the natural wonders of the world. On to the south shore with the waterfalls of Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, the southern glaciers and the black volcanic sand beaches at Vík.
