After the hike, travel to Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. Feel the wind, admire the basalt columns, and watch waves crash against the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks.
Your guide will help you stay safe from the waves as you enjoy the sights. You’ll hear tales of trolls turned to stone by sunlight, a fun legend that brings Iceland’s landscape to life.
A short drive brings you to Dyrholaey, a dramatic rock arch that stretches into the sea. From here, enjoy sweeping coastal views and spot puffins nesting on the cliffs in summer. It’s a peaceful stop surrounded by wild Icelandic beauty.
You’ll also visit the charming seaside village of Vik, the southernmost town in Iceland. Stroll through town, browse local shops, or enjoy a light snack at your own expense while admiring the stunning coastline and volcanic cliffs.
