South Coast Day Tour

Introduction

Follow the North Atlantic coastline from Reykjavík into the volcanic and glacier-covered wonderland that is Iceland´s south coast.

The tour starts with a drive through lava fields, right by the volcanic Hengill Mountain and then down to the rich coastline farmland. On a clear day you can see Hekla Volcano and the glacier-capped Eyjafjallajokull Volcano rising majestically above the coastal mountains. The first stop is Solheimajokull Glacier, every photographer’s dream and then onto Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, another dramatically beautiful spot. The powerful Atlantic waves crashing on the black sands, the jagged basalt sea stacks and the huge basalt-column cave are a sight to simply take your breath away.

Visit the village of Vik, the southernmost village in Iceland, located on the main ring road around the island. On the way back to Reykjavík stop by the powerful Skogafoss Waterfall where a short walk up a flight of steps will reveal one of Iceland´s most scenic views that includes glaciers, volcanoes and black sandy beaches. The last stop of the day is at the 60-metre high Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, famous for the hidden pathway behind and around it.
