About this experience
This full-day adventure tour along one of the most popular routes in Iceland takes you to the South Coast region. The landscapes here take various forms, from farmland to pristine glaciers and insane waterfalls, from impressive cliffs to black sand beaches on the Atlantic coast. Traveling along the South Coast, we explore some of the country's most scenic areas. You will be inspired by Iceland's harsh natural beauty and impressed by its ancient and beautiful history.
Itinerary
- Tour stop
Seljalandsfoss is a supremely graceful waterfall fed by the meltwater of the Eyjafjallajokull glacier. This impressive natural wonder falls about 63 meters (205 feet) into the quiet pool below, and there is a hidden trail behind the falls so that you can watch the waterfall from all directions.
- Tour stop
Glufrabui is an exquisite waterfall about 40 meters (130 feet) high, hidden in a gorge just 560 meters (1,850 feet) from the famous Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Stopping at a large waterfall, we shall follow the path at the foot of the cliff straight to the gorge, where the Glufrabui is hidden.
- Tour stop
Skogafoss, one of Iceland's largest and most elegant waterfalls, is 60 meters (195 feet) high and 25 meters (75 feet) wide. The waterfall generates a lot of spray, which on sunny days often creates a vibrant single or even double rainbow, adding to the charm of Skogafoss Falls. We will be able to walk to the foot of the waterfall and also walk the stairs to the observation deck to see the waterfall from above. After visiting the Skogafoss, we recommend stopping for lunch at the nearby Bistro Bar restaurant.
- Tour stop
Dyrholaey is an incredible rock formation and headland on the south coast of Iceland. At the top of the cliff, at an altitude of 120 meters (390 ft), is an old working lighthouse. From here, we enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, black sand beaches, and glaciers covering the Katla and Eyjafjallajokull volcanoes.
- Tour stop
Reynisfjara is the most famous black sand beach on the south coast of Iceland. Its beautiful sand and pebbles, vertical basalt columns, powerful ocean waves, and the nearby Reynisdrangar rocks at the sea make Reinisfjara a truly unique place to visit.
- Tour stop
Solheimajokull glacier has many impressive ice formations, including crevasses, steep ridges, and dips. Solheimajokull is the glacial tongue of Myrdalsjokull, Iceland's fourth largest glacier, which covers the mighty and impressive Katla volcano. We can walk the trail from the parking lot to the glacier, feel its coldness, and even touch the thousand-year-old ice. The glacier hike is not included in the tour program and can be organized additionally at your request.
