The whole day was unbelievable. My favorite was walking behind Skogafoss falls. Great idea to leave that to the last stop. A little more time at the lunch would have been nice -- tough to balance time, so I get it. Karel and Jessica did a fabulous job. Really appreciate the safety language., especially at the black sand beach.

Loved this trip. You stop at so many places and didn't feel like that long. The stops were nicely timed out so we weren't on the bus for too long. Make sure to bring waterproof gear for one of the waterfalls if you want to walk behind it. Nonslip shoes would be good too but not 100% needed
