Classic One-Day Tour of Iceland’s South Coast (Seljalandsfoss & Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach & Vík & Skógafoss & Sólheimajökull Glacier)

Visit Skógafoss Waterfall and challenge yourself to climb to the top for a panoramic view.

Feel the power of nature at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, experiencing the interplay of lava and the ocean.

Walk behind Seljalandsfoss Waterfall and enjoy the unique perspective of getting up close with the waterfall.

Tours run daily all year round, with a minimum of 1 person. Multiple languages and time slots available, with optional pick‑up service!

After all guests have gathered, we will head east and join Route 1 (also known as the Ring Road). Along the way, we will be driving close to the coastline, and may encounter windy weather, especially at Reynisfjara Beach. Please dress according to the weather conditions. The order of attractions visited may vary depending on the weather on the day.

Skógafoss Waterfall is 60 metres high, cascading down from the Skógá River. It was originally part of a sea cliff, and as the coastline receded, this spectacular vertical waterfall was left behind. Mist or spray often forms near the waterfall, and on sunny days, beautiful rainbows can appear.

If you are up for a challenge, you can climb the 527 steps to enjoy the panoramic view from the top. Along the way, there are several smaller waterfalls, and this is also the starting point of the Fimmvörðuháls trail, a 22‑kilometre route leading to Thorsmörk in the Icelandic highlands. Reynisfjara Beach is one of Iceland's most famous attractions, with a mysterious natural atmosphere.

The convergence of lava and the power of the sea has created basalt columns, huge dome‑shaped caves, and the famous black sand beach here. The sea waves here are very strong, so please be sure to follow the guide's instructions and avoid approaching the waves, which can be extremely dangerous.

The village of Vík is the southernmost village in Iceland. From the village, you can enjoy the Reynisdrangar sea stacks, the black sand beach, and beautiful panoramic views. This is our lunch stop. Next, we will head to Sólheimajökull Glacier, a glacier tongue extending from the Mýrdalsjökull Glacier.

Due to glacier retreat, the car park is no longer close to the glacier itself. A 15‑minute walk will bring you to the glacier edge. The trail passes by a huge glacial lagoon, fed by meltwater from the glacier, where chunks of ice occasionally break off into the lake, creating a spectacular sight.

The last stop is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls. It stands 60 metres high and the water flow is relatively gentle. You can walk behind the waterfall for a unique perspective; although you may get wet from the spray, it is a highlight. After visiting the waterfall, we will return to Reykjavík city centre. The vehicle will drop you off at the same location where you were picked up in the morning.
