Itinerary
Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall that can be fully encircled, situated on the South Coast of Iceland with a drop of 60 metres (200 feet).
Skógafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. This classic 62m high and 15 m wide waterfall is the last and most spectacular in a series of falls that are found in the Skógá River.
Reynisfjara is a black sand beach that was ranked in 1991 as one of the ten most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world. It is considered by many the most dangerous beach in Iceland for its powerful current. Just off the shore are Reynisdrangar, basalt sea stacks situated under the mountain Reynisfjall near the village Vík í Mýrdal.
Dyrhólaey, formerly known by seamen as Cape Portland, is a small promonotory located on the south coast of Iceland, not far from the village Vík. The peninsula has an elevation of 120 feet (37 m), and the Dyrhólaey lighthouse sits at the top of the formation facing the sea. The view from Dyrhólaey is broad: To the north is to be seen the big glacier Mýrdalsjökull. To the east, the black lava columns of the Reynisdrangar come out of the sea, and to the west the whole coastline towards Selfoss. In the summertime, many Atlantic puffins can be found nesting on the cliff faces of Dyrhólaey.

I found Walter on TripAdvisor while planning our Iceland stop on a cruise from Southampton. We were traveling from Bermuda aboard the Norwegian Prima, and from the very first message, Walter felt like someone we could count on. He stayed in touch for months to sort out the plans, always quick to respond, always accommodating. By the time we met in person it felt like greeting an old friend. We spent two days touring with him. One exploring the South Coast from Reykjavík and the other touring the Reykjanes Peninsula before heading to KEF. Everything went smoothly. Walter took care of every detail. He showed up with water and snacks, made sure we were all comfortable and well fed and somehow made the day feel both exciting and easy. He taught us Icelandic along the way, had us practicing words like fjall, foss, jökull, and of course Hekla. He told us the stories behind the land, the volcanoes, the waterfalls…he brought Iceland to life for us in such a beautiful way. Walter has this calm and generous energy that makes you feel instantly at ease. We laughed, we learned and we felt completely cared for from start to finish. By the end of our trip, Walter didn’t feel like a tour guide. He felt like family. If he ever comes to Bermuda, we would welcome him with open arms. What he gave us was more than just a tour. It was a memory we’ll hold onto for a very long time. Takk fyrir, Walter. Hjartans þakkir. You will always have a place in our hearts.
Takk kærlega ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My sister and I booked both airport pickup and a south coast tour with Walter, and our experience was nothing short of fantastic. Walter was ready to pick us up right when we landed, and he was friendly and helpful throughout the day. He handled our flight delay and a hotel mixup with grace, and he was more than willing to accommodate our questions and interests on the south coast tour. The south coast tour was impressive. We saw amazing waterfalls, the black sand beach, puffins, and more. Walter was very knowledgeable about every area we visited, and he knew a great spot for us to eat along the way. He is a safe driver, a fun tour guide, and a kind person. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him in the future should we ever return to Iceland!
Thanks ❤️❤️
