Highlights

If you want to enjoy the beauty of the Icelandic landscapes full of waterfalls and volcanoes, black sand and basalt columns, without having to go on long hikes, the tour of the South Coast to Vík is right for you. In just one day we will take you to the town of Vík (capital of the Southern region), stopping along the way in front of waterfalls such as Seljalandsfoss, Gljúfrabúi, Skogafoss and Kvernufoss. Before returning to Reykjavík, we will also stop at Reynisfjara beach with its basalt columns and the view of the Dyrholaey, a natural rock arch.

Itinerary

  1. On the slopes of Ejyafjallajökull, the unpronounceable volcano that blocked flights to half of Europe during the 2010 eruption, we will see Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This is precisely our first stop where, depending on the season, it will or will not be possible to walk behind the waterfall. The time frame includes transportation.

    2.5 hAdmission included

  2. After a 5 minutes walk from Seljalandsfoss, we will enter the small canyon that leads beneath Gljúfrabúi waterfall. To be enter the canyon we will have to walk up a small creek, and this might or might not be possible according to the season and the weather conditions.

    35 min

  3. The second stop on our journey will be in front of the waterfall of Skogafoss, also filmed in the TV series 'Game of Thrones' and 'Vikings'. A long staircase of about 400 steps leads to the top of the 62-meter-high waterfall, giving you the opportunity to admire the landscape of the plains to the sea as far as the eye can see. The time frame includes transportation.

    1.5 h

  4. A few minutes' drive away, the waterfall of Kvernufoss lets itself be discovered after a short (and easy) walk in a small canyon. To this day it is still considered not to be such a turistic destination, so with a little luck we could have few other people around us. But please, keep it a secret! The time frame includes transportation.

    45 minAdmission included

  5. Before returning to the city, our last scheduled stop is on the black beach of Reynisfjara adorned by its basalt columns. From there it is possible to admire the natural formation of the Dyrholaey: promontory that overlooks the ocean has a breathtaking arc of rock, especially at dusk. As beautiful as it is, Iceland is also dangerous: the abnormal waves that can sometimes occur on this beach are terribly infamous, so it's always good to be cautious. Our guide will obviously ensure that your visit takes place safely. The time frame includes transportation.

    1.3 h

  6. As an extra stop to our tour, according to the season and the weather conditions, we will lead you to the glacier laguna of Sólheimajökull on the way back to Reykjavík. The time frame includes transportation.

    1 hAdmission included

  7. Drive back to meeting point and Drop-off at your accommodation.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
