Description
Embark on an unforgettable journey to explore Iceland's breathtaking south coast, where majestic waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches await. This full-day tour showcases some of the country’s most iconic landmarks, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, rich history, and Icelandic charm. Seljalandsfoss Waterfall Your first stop is the stunning Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most photographed waterfalls. With a height of 65 meters, this captivating cascade is part of the Seljalandsá River, which originates from beneath the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. What makes Seljalandsfoss unique is the path that allows visitors to walk behind the waterfall, offering a one-of-a-kind perspective through the shimmering curtain of water. Don’t forget your raincoat, as you’re likely to get a little wet! Skógafoss Waterfall Next, visit Skógafoss, one of Iceland’s largest and most impressive waterfalls. With a width of 25 meters and a 60-meter drop, the sheer power of Skógafoss is breathtaking. For those who wish to see it from above, a staircase leads to a viewing platform, offering spectacular views of the south coast, Eyjafjallajökull, and the roaring waterfall itself. According to legend, a treasure chest lies hidden in a cave behind the falls, adding an air of mystery to this natural wonder. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach After the waterfalls, stop at the famous Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Walk along the striking black sands and admire the basalt columns, towering sea stacks, and crashing waves. If you’re lucky, you might spot puffins nesting along the cliffs during the summer months. Reynisfjara is a photographer’s paradise and a must-see destination for nature lovers. Village of Vík A short drive brings you to Vík, the southernmost village in Iceland. We'll make a short photo stop at the picturesque red-roofed church perched on a hill, offering fantastic views of the surrounding coastline and mountains. Sólheimajökull Glacier The tour’s next highlight is Sólheimajökull Glacier, an outlet glacier of the larger Mýrdalsjökull. Situated between the volcanoes Katla and Eyjafjallajökull, Sólheimajökull offers a dramatic landscape of vivid blue ice, crevasses, and striking formations. After being dropped off at the parking lot, take a leisurely 15-20 minute walk to the glacier itself, where you’ll witness the power and beauty of Iceland’s frozen wilderness. Return to Reykjavik As your journey winds down, relax on the drive back to Reykjavik. Along the way, your guide will share captivating stories of Icelandic folklore, from mischievous trolls to mysterious elves believed to inhabit the rocks. You’ll arrive back in the city around 6:00 PM, bringing with you unforgettable memories of Iceland’s south coast. This tour is the perfect way to experience Iceland’s natural wonders, making it a must-do for visitors to this remarkable country.Includes
