- Reykjavik - Our day tour kicks off with a swift and efficient pick-up service. We’ll collect you from either a central Reykjavik hotel or one of the numerous pick-up points scattered throughout the city. Once everyone is on board, we’ll depart the city and embark on our journey along Iceland’s southern coast.
The South coast of Iceland faces the North Atlantic Ocean, resulting in some of the country’s most extreme weather conditions. These elements have significantly shaped the dramatic landscapes here, featuring glaciers, volcanoes, black sand beaches, and expansive green lava fields. This variety ensures a highly diverse day tour, showcasing the best of Icelandic nature.
- Seljalandsfoss - Seljalandsfoss Waterfall and Gljúfrabúi
Seljalandsfoss is a captivating and perhaps one of the most frequented waterfalls in Iceland. Its popularity is well-earned, as it offers a unique experience: in the summer, you can walk behind the cascade and enjoy a stunning view from behind the waterfall. The water feeding this 60-meter tall waterfall originates from the renowned Eyjafjallajökull glacier-capped volcano.
- Skógarfoss - Skógarfoss Waterfall
Our first stop is at the Skógafoss waterfall, which plunges 60 meters from ancient sea cliffs, with views of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in the background on clear days. The sheer power of the water and the height of the surrounding cliffs are awe-inspiring. You can experience the waterfall from two levels: at ground level, you can get as close to the water as you dare, but be prepared to get wet if you’re not wearing waterproof layers. Alternatively, a path leads to a platform above the waterfall, offering a different perspective. On a clear day, the view of the surrounding landscape is not to be missed, though it requires climbing several hundred steep steps.
- Kvernufoss - Kvernufoss Waterfall
Kvernufoss Waterfall, the lesser-known neighbor of Skógafoss, is a stunning 30-meter (98 ft) waterfall tucked away in a gorge, often overlooked by travelers. Like Seljalandsfoss, you can walk behind it, making it a highly photogenic spot. The path to the waterfall is equally beautiful, making it a perfect end to a day trip before heading back to Reykjavik for more adventures.
- Reynisfjara Beach - Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach
Reynisfjara is a world-renowned black-sand beach located on Iceland’s South Coast, near the small fishing village of Vík í Mýrdal. From the black sand, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Reynisdrangar sea stacks, which locals believe are petrified trolls.
- Dyrholaey - The Dyrhólaey Peninsula features a 120-meter boardwalk with breathtaking views of Iceland’s south coast and a rock arch of the same name. Other main attractions include a classic lighthouse and an abundance of birdlife. If you’re lucky, you might spot puffins here from late April to late August.
