Description
Enjoy some of the spectacular sights of Iceland's South Coast by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those who want to discover Iceland's iconic attractions, including Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, Vik village, and Reynisfjara black sand beach, should book this sightseeing tour now.
The tour starts when your expert English-speaking guide picks you up from the agreed meeting point in Reykjavik. You'll meet the other guests on the tour and get settled on board the coach as you set off for Iceland's South Coast.
The first stop on the tour is Seljalandsfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's highest waterfalls, at around 197 feet (63 meters) high.
The waterfall is a charming interlude in the rocky, rolling countryside and includes a path right up to the waterfall, behind it, and out the other side. Feel the spray on your face as you venture in.
The next waterfall, Skogafoss, is one of the largest waterfalls in the country, with a width of about 82 feet (25 meters) and a drop of approximately 200 feet (60 meters).
Due to the amount of spray the waterfall produces, a single or even double rainbow can often be seen above the waterfall.
The tour's next stop is the picturesque village of Vik, where you can buy souvenirs, refuel with a cool drink or a snack, and practice your Icelandic with the locals.
Vik is the southernmost point of the island and offers easy access to iconic sites like Reynisfjara Beach. Vík's church, perched on a hill, offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
A short distance from the village is Reynisfjara beach, full of volcanic stones worn smooth by the water and black sand pounded by the surf. Have your picture taken before Gardar, the basalt columns characterizing the cliffs.
Listen to the waves crashing against the shore, and the spectacularly shaped basalt sea stacks called Reynisdrangar out in the ocean. You'll find the beach teeming with birdlife nesting on the cliffs and flying through the sky.
The beach is beautiful but dangerous due to strong waves, so caution is advised. Reynisfjara black sand beach is a popular stop for tourists exploring the South Coast and offers stunning views, especially in contrast to the surrounding green hills and cliffs.
After this final stop, it's time to head back to Reykjavik. On the way, you'll pass through lush farmlands home to sheep and horses. Your tour guide will share some of the fascinating histories of the region as you drive.
