Tour Highlights:

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
Our first stop is the iconic Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most photographed
waterfalls. This stunning 60-meter (197-foot) cascade flows gracefully over a cliff and offers
a unique perspective for visitors, as you can walk behind the waterfall along a rocky path.
The view from behind the waterfall is spectacular, with water rushing down in front of you
against a backdrop of green cliffs and wide-open skies. It’s a truly immersive experience and
a photographer’s dream, perfect for capturing the raw beauty of Iceland.
Gljúfrabúi Waterfall
Hidden within a narrow canyon near Seljalandsfoss is the mystical Gljúfrabúi Waterfall.
Known as the “Secret Waterfall,” Gljúfrabúi is partially concealed by a massive cliff, adding a
sense of mystery and adventure to the visit. To see it up close, you’ll enter a small opening in
the cliff and follow a rocky path, where you’ll be rewarded with the sight of water cascading
down into a secluded pool. This hidden gem provides a magical experience that is truly off
the beaten path.
Eyjafjallajökull Volcano
Next, we pause at a viewpoint for the famous Eyjafjallajökull Volcano, known for its 2010
eruption that captivated global attention. This glacier-capped volcano is one of Iceland’s
most iconic landmarks, offering a stunning and powerful backdrop as we explore the South
Coast. Our guides will share insights about the eruption, its impact on Iceland’s landscape,
and its significance in volcanic science. The view of Eyjafjallajökull’s icy slopes and rugged
peaks against the South Coast’s lush greenery is both captivating and humbling.
Skógafoss Waterfall
Wecontinue our journey to the magnificent Skógafoss Waterfall, a massive 62-meter
(203-foot) waterfall that ranks as one of the largest in Iceland. The powerful cascade creates
a roaring sound and often forms rainbows in the mist, especially on sunny days. Skógafoss
is also rich in folklore, with legends telling of hidden treasure buried behind the falls. Visitors
can view the waterfall from below or climb a staircase to the top for panoramic views of the
waterfall, river, and surrounding landscapes.
Dyrhólaey Peninsula
Our next stop is the Dyrhólaey Peninsula, a dramatic promontory offering stunning views
over the Atlantic Ocean and Iceland’s black sand beaches. The name Dyrhólaey means
“door hole,” inspired by the massive arch-shaped rock formation carved by the sea. From
here, you’ll have a spectacular vantage point overlooking Iceland’s rugged coastline,
including the famous Reynisfjara Beach. During the summer, Dyrhólaey is also a popular
nesting area for puffins, giving visitors a chance to observe these charming birds up close.
Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach
The Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach is one of Iceland’s most iconic and eerie landscapes.
Known for its striking black sands, towering basalt columns, and dramatic rock formations,
this beach is both mesmerizing and powerful. The waves here are notorious for their
strength, creating a captivating scene as they crash onto the shore. Reynisfjara is home to
the famous Reynisdrangar sea stacks, which, according to legend, were once trolls turned to
stone by the sun. This stop provides a unique glimpse into Iceland’s volcanic past and its
folklore.
Solheimajökull Glacier
The final stop on our South Coast journey is the Solheimajökull Glacier, a fascinating and
accessible glacier located between the Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull glaciers. This
glacier is part of the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap and is known for its striking blue ice,
crevasses, and unique volcanic ash-streaked surface. We’ll have the opportunity to walk up
close to the glacier, where our guides will explain the glacier’s formation, its interaction with
volcanic activity, and the visible effects of climate change on the ice. This close encounter
with a glacier is an awe-inspiring and humbling experience.
