Itinerary and highlights

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most iconic stops on our South Coast Tour. This breathtaking waterfall cascades from a height of 60 meters, creating a stunning display of nature’s power and beauty. What makes Seljalandsfoss truly unique is the path that allows visitors to walk behind the waterfall, offering a rare and exhilarating perspective. As you explore, you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery and the sound of rushing water, creating a perfect photo opportunity and unforgettable experience. Don’t forget to bring a raincoat—this magical moment often comes with a refreshing mist!

The DC-3 airplane at Eyvindarholt is a fascinating stop on our South Coast Tour, steeped in history. This aircraft, which first took flight in 1944, served the United States Navy at the Keflavík naval base during the 1960s. It played a vital role in transporting people and supplies to the radar station on Heiðarfjall mountain in Langanes, near Þorshöfn in northeast Iceland. Today, the plane stands as a remarkable piece of history and a unique photo opportunity amidst the stunning Icelandic landscape.

Skógafoss is one of Iceland’s most breathtaking waterfalls and a must-see stop on our South Coast Tour. Plunging 60 meters (197 feet) with a powerful roar, the waterfall creates a dramatic curtain of water that is awe-inspiring to witness. On sunny days, the mist often forms beautiful rainbows, adding to the magical atmosphere. Visitors can experience Skógafoss up close at the base or take the staircase alongside the falls for panoramic views from the top. Surrounded by lush greenery and steeped in legend, this iconic natural wonder is an unforgettable highlight of your journey.

Sólheimajökull is a striking glacier tongue and an unforgettable stop on our South Coast Tour. This stunning natural wonder extends from the larger Mýrdalsjökull glacier, offering a unique opportunity to witness the power and beauty of Iceland’s glaciers up close. As you explore the area, you’ll see dramatic ice formations, crevasses, and the glacier’s ever-changing textures shaped by time and climate. Surrounded by rugged volcanic landscapes, Sólheimajökull is a favorite for those seeking adventure, breathtaking views, and a deeper appreciation for Iceland’s dynamic natural environment.

Reynisfjara, Iceland’s famous black sand beach, is a highlight of our South Coast Tour and a must-see destination. Known for its dramatic beauty, this unique beach features striking basalt columns, powerful Atlantic waves, and the iconic Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising majestically from the ocean. The contrast of the black sands against the surrounding cliffs creates a surreal and otherworldly atmosphere. Whether you’re admiring the intricate basalt formations or feeling the raw energy of the crashing waves, Reynisfjara is an unforgettable experience and a photographer’s dream. Caution is advised, as the waves here can be unpredictable and powerful.

Vík í Mýrdal, the southernmost village in Iceland, is a charming and picturesque stop on our South Coast Tour. Nestled between dramatic cliffs and the open sea, Vík is famous for its stunning surroundings, including the iconic black sand beaches and the towering Reynisdrangar sea stacks visible offshore. The quaint village church perched on a hill offers breathtaking views of the area and is a favorite spot for photos. Vík is not only a perfect place to soak in the beauty of Iceland’s coastal landscapes but also an excellent stop for refreshments and exploring local culture.
