Good morning, explorers! Today, we push deeper into Iceland’s rugged heart. We start with a short, scenic hike through Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, a twisting 2 km-long marvel with sheer mossy walls and a lazy river winding its way to the sea. Take your time to soak in the views—it’s impossible not to feel small (in the best way possible) here.

Next, we tackle Mt. Laki, the site of one of history’s most massive volcanic eruptions. Hike to Tjarnargígur Crater, feel the energy of this ancient landscape, and imagine the fiery power that shaped it. This is a spot for awe, reflection, and maybe even a little bragging—after all, how many people can say they’ve stood on a volcano?

Along the way, we’ll visit some of Iceland’s famous waterfalls, including Systrafoss, Systrastapi, and Kirkjugólf, each with its own unique beauty. Let yourself pause, breathe, and capture the perfect photo—or just enjoy the sound and spray of cascading water.

We return to Kirkjubaejarklaustur for the night, where dinner is included and stories of the day’s adventures will fly across the table. By now, you’re officially part of this wild, magical Icelandic journey—and the best is still to come.

Tip: Layers are your best friend today. Icelandic weather can be unpredictable, so waterproofs, gloves, and warm hats are essential.

Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon Hike
1h | 2km
Explore Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon which sits at about 2km long and 100 meters deep. It’s known for its sheer, turning, and twisting walls, full of strangely shaped salients and bumps covered in moss and green grass. The deeper you go into the canyon the more you’ll see of the lazy river that serpentines out to sea.

Hiking Mt. Laki
1h
Hike for about an hour to Tjarnargígur Crater. This spot is common for adventurous travellers. The craters resulted from the 1783 eruption. It was the most devastating eruption in world history. And although, Laki is dormant today it left the craters behind as a a sign of its destructive power.
