Description

Set out from Reykjavík on a full-day adventure along Iceland’s breathtaking South Coast, where dramatic waterfalls and glaciers await. Travel comfortably in a small group with a knowledgeable English-speaking guide who shares fascinating insights about the region’s geology and culture as you journey through spectacular landscapes.

Your first stop is the majestic Skógafoss waterfall, where powerful cascades plunge 60 meters and, on sunny days, vibrant rainbows dance in the mist. The adventure continues at Sólheimajökull glacier, where you’ll gear up with crampons, helmets, and ice axes for a thrilling guided hike across ancient ice, exploring crevasses and even tasting pure glacier water.

After your glacier experience, stroll along the world-famous Reynisfjara black sand beach. Marvel at the striking basalt columns and dramatic Reynisdrangar sea stacks, and soak in the wild beauty of this unique volcanic coastline. Your guide ensures your safety and provides plenty of opportunities to capture unforgettable photos.

The journey also takes you to the iconic Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where you can walk behind the curtain of water for a one-of-a-kind perspective. Discover the hidden gem of Gljúfrabúi, a peaceful waterfall tucked away nearby, offering a tranquil escape from the crowds.
