Your first stop is Urridafoss, one of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls in terms of water volume. Feel the ground tremble as the Thjorsa River cascades over dark lava rocks, a perfect first impression of your South Coast tour.
Continue to Arbaejarfoss, a scenic waterfall near the town of Hella, where the Ytri-Ranga River splits before tumbling over volcanic sand. Surrounded by greenery and rugged rock, it offers a peaceful atmosphere and excellent photo opportunities.
Your next stop is Seljalandsfoss, where the Seljalandsa River plunges 197 feet (60 meters) from a cliff that was once Iceland’s coastline. In summer, sunset light shines through the cascade, and at night, the waterfall is beautifully illuminated.
Your guide will then take you to Skogafoss, where water plunges in a thundering curtain. Climb the steps for coastal views, spot rainbows on sunny days, and hear the legend of Viking treasure.
From there, visit Dyrholaey, a striking promontory that juts into the Atlantic Ocean. This viewpoint offers sweeping vistas of black sand beaches and rugged cliffs, and in summer, it’s a prime location for puffin watching in Iceland.
Nearby lies Reynisfjara Beach, where black volcanic sands meet powerful waves and towering basalt columns. At low tide, you can step inside a basalt cave as your guide shares the legends tied to the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks rising just offshore.
Arrive next in the charming village of Vik to visit the red-roofed Vik Church, perched above the coastline. Enjoy postcard-worthy views of the village and the breathtaking coastline.
Take a break for lunch in Vik, where you can enjoy Icelandic specialties or lighter fare. Afterward, head to the final highlight of the day, the Solheimajokull Glacier hike. Here, your adventure takes on a thrilling, active twist.
With all gear provided, you'll go on a Solheimajokull glacier hike with an expert guide. Navigate ridges and crevasses, marvel at the blue ice, and see how glaciers have shaped Iceland’s landscapes.
After an incredible day exploring the South Coast, your guide will return you to Reykjavik and drop you off at your hotel. You’ll end the day with a tour filled with natural wonders, cultural highlights, and unforgettable moments.
