Learn to appreciate Iceland's landscapes, which are as rugged and unforgiving as they are gentle and exceptionally beautiful. This panoramic drive by coach takes you through valleys and across moors near the lovely village of Djúpivogur.
You'll set off in a comfortable minivan to experience the East Fjords' amazing natural wonders in the Valley of Waterfalls -- the Fossardalur Valley. Enjoy the view of the impressive Berufjordur Fjord with its towering mountains and incredible rock formations. Explore the magnificent landscape, numerous waterfalls, mountainsides and rocks where sedimentary layers are easily seen. This is also reindeer territory, so keep your eyes peeled.
The impressive East Fjords feature mountains scaled by bare rock faces and ridged by the forces of weather and wind. They tumble from lofty heights and plunge vertically into the sea. At one of the waterfalls, you'll stop to enjoy a hot chocolate and an Icelandic pastry. Take in your surroundings -- the sublime natural wonders of Iceland.
