Discover one of Iceland's most captivating regions before embarking on an unforgettable experience on a glacier lagoon with this thrilling South Coast and glacier kayaking tour from Reykjavik. This 11-hour adventure is perfect for travelers looking for an up-close encounter with Iceland's natural showstoppers.
The action begins in the morning when you're picked up from your Reykjavik hotel or a designated bus stop. You'll then head to the BSI Bus Terminal, where you'll transfer to a bus that will take you to the South Coast. The tour also comes with an experienced and friendly guide.
The South Coast of Iceland is a diverse region that showcases the country's natural beauty in its purest form. Stretching from the outskirts of Reykjavik to the southeastern edge of the island, this area is a treasure trove of stunning landscapes and attractions.
The magnificent Seljalandsfoss waterfall is your first stop. This pristine waterfall features a cavern behind a cascading water curtain. This allows you to walk a narrow trail behind the waterfall's veil.
The experience of walking behind Seljalandsfoss is both exhilarating and surreal, as you're enveloped in a misty cocoon of water and surrounded by the powerful sound of nature's force. This perspective offers a breathtaking view of the lush, green surroundings, the glacial river feeding the falls, and the distant horizon.
Interestingly, the Seljalandsfoss waterfall is fed by the melting water of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which is capped by a glacier.
Another must-see waterfall on the South Coast is Skogafoss, an awe-inspiring cascade renowned for its sheer size, dramatic drop, and scenic surroundings. Skogafoss waterfall has become one of the country's most iconic and photographed waterfalls.
Standing at an impressive 197 feet (60 meters) tall and spanning a width of 82 feet (25 meters), Skogafoss commands attention as it thunders down a moss-covered cliff, casting a perpetual mist into the air. As you get near the waterfall, you'll feel the thunderous roar of its cascading water, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
One of Skogafoss's unique features is the staircase of 527 steps that leads to a viewing platform at the top. From there, you'll have an incredible panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and a full appreciation of the waterfall's grandeur.
Finally, you'll head to the Solheimajokull glacier lagoon, a remarkable and dynamic natural wonder that offers a memorable glimpse into the world of glaciers. The Solheimajokull glacier lagoon is an offshoot of the vast Myrdalsjokull glacier. It is easily accessible, making it a popular stop for travelers exploring Iceland's spectacular landscapes.
As you reach the lagoon, your guide will equip you with the technical gear and safety equipment. You'll be given a drysuit, paddle, and a kayak that you'll use for exploring the lagoon.
During the guided kayak tour, you'll see a breathtaking mix of ice, water, and rugged terrain. You'll also be greeted by the glacier's otherworldly ice formations, crevasses, and the brilliant blue hue of the ice. Considering the cold temperature in the area, refreshments like tea and coffee are available.
After enjoying the sights around the lagoon, you'll return to your bus that will take you back to Reykjavik.
