The first stop of your adventure is the impressive Berserkjahraun area, a 4,000-year-old lava field steeped in Icelandic folklore and history. From the viewing platform, you will be able to take in breathtaking views over the lava field, Lake Selvatn, and the charming Saudafoss waterfall.

Next, you’ll visit Ytri Tunga beach, where a colony of seals often gathers along the sands, providing the perfect spot for seal watching and photography. This beautiful stretch of coastline is a rare sight in Iceland and offers a peaceful setting to observe these playful creatures in their natural habitat.

Continuing, you’ll stop at Bjarnarfoss, a stunning waterfall cascading from the top of a 984-foot (300-meter) basalt cliff formed by the dormant Maelifell volcano. The view here is unforgettable as the water tumbles down with remarkable power and grace.

Your journey proceeds to the historic black church at Budir, one of Iceland’s most iconic landmarks. Built in 1703, the church stands noticeably against the surrounding landscapes, offering a picturesque scene filled with history and beauty. With its historic graveyard and rustic charm, the Budir church is a favorite among visitors and photographers.

Next, you will head to Arnarstapi, a fishing village with striking sea cliffs. Here, you’ll discover stunning basalt columns, intricate rock formations, and thin walkways carved by years of natural erosion. The village is also home to the statue of Bardur Snaefellsas, a mythical troll from Icelandic folklore, adding a mystical touch to this rugged coastal town.

You’ll then visit Djupalonssandur beach, known for its black sands and historic relics. Here, you’ll find stones that fishermen once used to test their strength, from a mighty 340-pound (154 kg) stone to a smaller 50-pound (23 kg) rock.

The last landmark of the tour is the iconic Kirkjufell mountain and Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls, where you’ll witness one of Iceland’s most photogenic scenes, the towering mountain reflected in the nearby waters with a cascading waterfall in the foreground.
