Itinerary

40 min

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall is a spectacular natural wonder . What makes this waterfall unique is the fact that visitors can actually walk behind the cascading water, providing an unforgettable and immersive experience. The waterfall is approximately 60 meters high and is fed by a glacier river originating from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. The water falls into a shallow pool, which is surrounded by lush greenery and rocky cliffs. The constant spray from the waterfall creates a misty atmosphere, which often produces stunning rainbows. Aside from walking behind the waterfall, visitors can also hike along the surrounding trails to get a better view of the waterfall and the surrounding scenery. The area is known for its diverse flora and fauna, including various bird species, wildflowers, and mosses. Nearby attractions include the Gljúfrafoss waterfall,

Skogafoss
40 min

Skogafoss Waterfall is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland, located on the South Coast of the country. It is a 60-meter high and 25-meter wide waterfall that drops into a small lagoon. The water comes from the Skoga River and the waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and cliffs. What makes Skogafoss Waterfall special is its sheer size and power. Its thundering sound can be heard from a distance and it is a breathtaking sight to see. Visitors can walk right up to the waterfall and feel its mist on their faces. It is also a great spot for photography, especially when the sun is shining and a rainbow appears in the mist.Some popular things to do at this attraction include hiking up the stairs alongside the waterfall for stunning views, taking a guided tour of the area, and exploring the nearby Skogar Museum to learn about Icelandic culture

Dyrholaey
50 min

Dyrhólaey is a stunning promontory located on the south coast of Iceland. The promontory was formed during a volcanic eruption about 100,000 years ago. It is made up of alternating layers of lava and ash, which have eroded over time to create the distinctive shape of the cliffs. Dyrhólaey is also home to a lighthouse, which was built in 1910 and is still in operation today. The lighthouse offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Reynisfjara black sand beach and the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. One of the key attractions at Dyrhólaey is the natural rock arch that spans the sea, known as the Dyrhólaey Arch. Visitors can hike to the top of the promontory and enjoy breathtaking views of the arch and the surrounding coastline. Another popular activity at Dyrhólaey is bird-watching. The promontory is home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes. Visitors can observe these birds in their natural habitat from designated viewing areas.

Reynisfjara Beach
40 min

Reynisfjara beach is known for its unique black sand, basalt columns, and powerful waves. The geological history of the beach dates back to thousands of years ago when volcanic eruptions occurred in the area leading to the formation of the black sand. The basalt columns were formed by cooling lava flows, which later eroded into their current shape due to the constant pounding of the waves. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach is famous for the basalt sea stacks that rise out of the ocean. These formations are known as Reynisdrangar and are said to be the remains of two trolls who were trying to drag a three-masted ship to shore but were turned to stone by the rising sun. Visitors to the beach can enjoy a scenic walk along the black sand, take in the stunning views of the sea stacks, and watch the powerful waves crash against the shore. It is important to note that the waves at Reynisfjara are known for their strength and visitors should exercise caution when exploring the beach.

Vik
50 min

Vík í Mýrdal is a small village situated in the southern part of Iceland, known for its dramatic landscapes and rich history. The area's geology dates back to the last Ice Age, as evidenced by the black sand beaches and basalt columns that dot the coastline. Vík í Mýrdal is unique in that it is nestled between two glaciers, Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull. The latter famously erupted in 2010, making international headlines and causing widespread disruption. The area has since become a popular destination for tourists looking to witness the aftermath of the eruption. In addition to its geological wonders, Vík í Mýrdal also boasts a rich history. The village was founded in the late 19th century, and its church – which dates back to 1934 – is a popular landmark. Visitors can learn more about the area's history by visiting the local museum, which features exhibits on the region's past. .Other popular activities include glacier tours, horseback riding, lavashow , ATV

Unforgettable South Coast Tour with Lina

We had an incredible experience exploring Iceland’s South Coast with Lina! She was friendly, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland. She did a wonderful job pointing out interesting sights and sharing information along the way, and you could genuinely tell how much pride she takes in showing people the beauty of Iceland. We packed so much into one day, breathtaking waterfalls, black sand beaches, glaciers and so many incredible sights yet we never once felt rushed. Lina made sure we had time to truly enjoy each stop while still making the absolute most of our day. We also used Lina for our airport transfer, and she was just as wonderful and reliable. It was great having someone we already knew and trusted take care of that part of our trip as well. Our South Coast tour ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip and gave us memories and views we will never forget. We are so grateful to Lina for making our time in Iceland so special. We would absolutely use her again when we return and highly recommend both Lina and this tour to anyone wanting to experience the incredible beauty of Iceland!
