South Coast Waterfalls, Glacier & Black Sand Beach Tour

The South Coast of Iceland as explored in this popular day tour has been sculpted and scarred over thousands of years by powerful forces such as volcanoes, glaciers, and the sea. These forces have formed a unique and diverse landscape featuring looming mountains, countless waterfalls, otherworldly beaches, and much, much more. We will take you to some of the most beautiful places in all of Iceland on this day trip from Reykjavík, including Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Sólheimajökull glacier, Reynisfjara Black and Beach and Skógafoss waterfall. On a clear day you can also spot the Hekla Volcano in the distance.

This often wild coastal route takes you to all the highlights to be found as far east as the small picturesque village of Vík..

A popular destination for a tour combining these elements is Iceland. The South Coast of Iceland offers a stunning array of natural wonders. Here’s a hypothetical itinerary:
