South Coast Waterfalls
The day's first stop is Seljalandsfoss waterfall, renowned as one of Iceland's most fantastic attractions. You can walk behind the impressive cascade of the fall, making Seljalandsfoss an ideal setting for an unforgettable photoshoot.
Volcano Views
Witness the stunning landscapes while traversing southern Iceland's fertile farmlands and quaint villages. This region is steeped in Viking lore and history and overseen by the notorious Eyjafjallajökull and Hekla volcanoes. On days with clear skies, you can enjoy magnificent views of these iconic volcanoes and the Westman Islands along the coast.
Glacier Hike & Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach
The subsequent leg of your journey marks a significant milestone for those unfamiliar with glacier exploration. Experience the resounding crack of ancient ice as you go on a secure glacier hike led by a certified guide. Following the glacier adventure, proceed to Reynisfjara, where you can leisurely wander along the renowned black sand beach, famed for its distinctive basalt columns and caves. Observe the Reynisdrangar cliffs and basalt formations emerging from the sea, which, in Icelandic folklore, are said to be trolls petrified by the dawn's light.
Skogafoss Waterfall
The day tour concludes with a visit to the magnificent Skógafoss Waterfall. Approach the towering 60-meter waterfall closely and experience the mist on your face. Ascend the 527 steps for a panoramic view of the waterfall's cascade and the rainbows it creates.

Hannah and Nur got the gist of what we wanted our trip to be. They got us in hotels that were located centrally to historic tours. Tours and excursions that were significant, enriching and enjoyable. We had drivers that were on time/reliable. We got from location to location with ease. I would never have been able to plan this myself. I would not have known enough to ask for what we needed. This was above and beyond what I expected. Well done!
