Overview

Welcome to Iceland, a country known for its stunning natural beauty and unique geological features. Our South Coast tour will take you on a journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country, including stunning waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skógafos, the Black Sand Beach with its dramatic basalt columns and powerful waves, Dyrhólaey promontory with its light house and a massive arch in the ocean.

Our first stop will be at Seljalandsfoss, a stunning waterfall that you can walk behind, followed by a visit to the hidden gem of Gljufrabui.

Next, we will head to Skógafoss, one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, and the lesser-known but equally beautiful Kvernufoss. In the same area we’re having lunch in a local restaurant.

Next, we will visit Reynisfjara, a black sand beach with incredible basalt columns and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks.

Our final stop will be at Dyrhólaey, a massive cliff with its lighthouse and a natural arch in the ocean.

The fifth stop is Reynisfjara and the Black Sand Beach. The beach is known for its unique black sand, created by volcanic eruptions, as well as its basalt columns, caves, and Reynisdrangar, that are basalt sea stacks that rise from the ocean just off the shore. The beach offers a great opportunity for photography and a chance to witness the raw power of nature. The black sand beach is a unique place that shows the dramatic impact of volcanic activity on the landscape. Time dedicated to visit this location is 30 minutes; the remaining time is to reach it from the previous location.
