Explore Reynisfjara black sand beach, known for its basalt stacks and dramatic cliffs, before venturing further eastward toward Skaftafell National Park—an outdoor enthusiast's paradise famous for breathtaking hiking trails that lead to glaciers such as Svínafellsjökull or Falljökull.

Day 4-5: Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon & Diamond Beach

Don't miss out on nearby Diamond Beach—a surreal landscape adorned with sparkling chunks of glacial ice glistening against black volcanic sands.

Day 6-7: Lake Myvatn & Northern Highlights

Drive north to the otherworldly landscapes surrounding Lake Myvatn. Visit pseudo-craters at Skútustaðagígar and explore the mystical Dimmuborgir lava formations, known as "The Gates of Hell."
