Have a desperate need to cram in as many typically Icelandic activities as you can in as short a time as possible? Then the Troll Expeditions’ South Coast Elements tour is the one for you. In the 14 hours between pick-up and drop-off in Reykjavík, you will: walk behind one waterfall; climb to the top of another; go on a hike across a glacier; cycle across a black-sand beach to the wreck of a military plane; swim in a hot geothermal pool; and clamber underground through a lava cave. Just remember to breathe at the end. £195; trollaferdir.is
