Tour Highlights

​

​

• Seljalandsfoss Waterfall: One of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss is unique because you can walk behind it for a full 360-degree view. Originating from the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, this waterfall offers a rare opportunity to experience nature up close. Please bring a raincoat or waterproof jacket if you plan to walk behind the falls. Please note that this may not be possible in winter due to icy conditions.

​

• Skógafoss Waterfall: Another stunning waterfalls, standing 60 meters tall and 25 meters wide. Its powerful flow creates mist that often forms rainbows on sunny days. Visitors can climb the stairs next to the waterfall for panoramic views or stand at the base to experience its immense force.

​

• Dyrhólaey Peninsula: A dramatic coastal promontory offering sweeping views of the South Coast, black sand beaches, and the famous Dyrhólaey arch. This is a perfect spot for birdwatching, including puffins during the summer months (May - August). Please note that road to Dyrhólaey may be closed during the winter months due to weather conditions.

​​​​

• Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach: Visit the dramatic Reynisfjara beach, famous for its black volcanic sands, the towering Reynisdrangar rock formations, and unique columnar basalt cliffs. While the beach is mesmerizing, it can also be dangerous due to strong waves, so we advise all guests to follow safety guidelines and keep a safe distance from the ocean.

​

• South Coast Villages: Pass through the charming villages of Hvolsvöllur, Hella, and Vík, where you’ll experience the quieter, rural side of Iceland, surrounded by vast farmlands and scenic mountains.

​

• Lunch in Vík: Enjoy lunch in Vík, where you can soak in the beauty of this small, picturesque village nestled between cliffs and the sea.
