Your tour starts when you are picked up at the meeting point in central Reykjavik. You will meet your expert Italian-speaking guide and the other guests on the tour before embarking on a scenic drive through the stunning countryside to the South Coast.
Your first stop takes you to the awe-inspiring Seljalandsfoss waterfall, located on the slopes of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano.
Seljalandsfoss waterfall is one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls, known for its unique feature: a walking path that lets you go behind the cascading water. Located along the South Coast, the waterfall drops around 200 feet (60 meters) from ancient sea cliffs.
Seljalandsfoss waterfall is fed by glacial meltwater from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, adding to its dramatic appeal. In winter, the waterfall is even illuminated in the evening. Visitors should wear waterproof clothing, as the path behind the falls can be slippery and wet.
You can also explore Gljufrabui waterfall and the canyon beneath it, which is just a short walk away. Tucked inside a narrow canyon, the waterfall cascades around 131 feet (40 meters) into a mossy enclave.
Continuing your adventure, you will arrive at the iconic Skogafoss waterfall, a majestic 203-foot (62-meter) high cascade featured in popular TV series like "Game of Thrones" and "Vikings."
Climb the staircase of approximately 400 steps to reach the top and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes, stretching from the plains to the vast sea.
Next, you uncover the hidden gem of the Kvernufoss waterfall. A tranquil and lesser-known destination, this picturesque feature is reached through an easy hike in a small canyon.
Its serene atmosphere and smaller crowds offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature's beauty.
A short walk then brings you to a viewpoint overlooking the impressive Solheimajokull glacier tongue and its iceberg-filled lagoon, where sparkling ice alternates with black layers of volcanic ash.
You will stop for lunch in the charming village of Vik i Myrdal. Here you will visit a small photo exhibition about the eruptions of the Katla volcano before heading to a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the whole town.
Your final stop before returning to the city is Reynisfjara beach, a striking black sand beach adorned with magnificent basalt columns. Take in the dramatic scenery and behold the natural wonder of Dyrholaey, a rock arch perched on a promontory overlooking the ocean.
Your knowledgeable guide will ensure your safety as you explore this remarkable location, known for its occasional rogue waves.
At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to the meeting point in Reykjavik, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
