Itinerary and highlights

Seljalandsfoss waterfall is one of Iceland's most stunning natural attractions. It is located along the South Coast and about a two-hour drive from Reykjavik. A pathway allows visitors to walk behind the cascading water, making it a favourite spot among photographers.

Skógafoss is one of Iceland’s biggest and most beautiful waterfalls, with an astounding width of 25 meters (82 feet) and a drop of 60 meters (197 feet). It appeared in the first episode of season 8 of Game of Thrones. In this episode, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen ride dragons and land next to a set of stunning two-stage cascades of waterfalls. Skogafoss was part of it, and the other waterfalls and rock formations were added digitally.

Solheimajokull is an outlet glacier of the mighty icecap of Myrdalsjokull on the South Coast of Iceland. It is shrinking rapidly. A glacier lagoon at its base reveals how quickly it is receding: the length of an Olympic swimming pool every year. In this tour, we take a short hike to the viewing point and back, but as it is a private tour, you can always stay a bit longer if you want.

Reynisfjara is a world-famous black-sand beach on Iceland's South Coast. It features basalt columns and the dramatic Reynisdrangar sea stacks. It's beside Vik i Myrdal, the southernmost village on the mainland.

The Dyrhólaey Peninsula is a 120-metre promenade famed for its staggering views of Iceland’s South Coast, historic lighthouse, and wealth of birdlife. It is also home to a rock arch of the same name.

Vik í Myrdal, or just Vik, is the southernmost village on the Icelandic mainland, located 110 miles (186 kilometres) from the capital, Reykjavik. It is one of Iceland´s most beautiful villages, a wonderful place to stop and recharge and take your time.
