Waterfalls & South Coast of Iceland Tour

After picking you up from your selected meeting point in Reykjavik at the indicated time, we'll leave the city behind to tour the south coast of Iceland. During the journey, we'll admire the lava fields at the foot of Hengill Mountain. On clear days, we may even see the Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull volcanoes, as well as the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago.

Our tour will take us to the Skógafoss waterfall, where the river, over 196 ft (60 m) tall, creates a spectacular sheet of water. Here you can marvel at the spectacle and take photos of the rainbows that often appear on sunny days among the mist.

Having admired the breathtaking coastal scenery, we'll head to the village of Vík, where you'll have around 1 hour  of free time to get lunch. Did you know that this is the southernmost town in Iceland?

Afterward, we'll stop at the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, famous for its basalt stacks that rise dramatically from the sea, facing the coast. We'll explore this unique beach filled with black stones as you listen to the legend of the wicked trolls who wanted to smash a ship against the rocks...

We'll then make our way to the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Here we'll climb the mountain until we reach the cave behind the falls. Entering the cave, we'll enjoy the unique view of the beautiful Icelandic landscape through the curtain of water.

Continuing on our tour, we'll visit the Skógafoss waterfall, where the river 60 metres above creates a spectacular sheet of water. Here you can marvel at the spectacle and take photos of the rainbows that often appear, created by the sunlight through the falling water droplets.

After 10.5 to 11 hours of discovering the waterfalls and southern coast of Iceland, we'll return to the original departure points in Reykjavik.
