Explore the sensational South Shore in a comfortable car or a minibus, discovering the stunning waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, and walking through the mystical Reynisfjara black sand beach on a thrilling road trip.

✓ Seljalandsfoss – This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is possible to walk behind the waterfall. 500 metres to the North West there is a another beautiful waterfall, Gljúfrabúi, that is worth the walk.

✓ Skógafoss – Is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 metres and a drop of 60 metres. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days.

✓ Reynisfjara: The Black Beach – Reynisfjara is a black pebble beach and features an amazing cliff of regular basalt columns resembling a a rocky step pyramid. Out in the sea are the spectaculary shaped basalt sea stacks Reynisdrangar.

✓ Dyrhólaey – 120 metres high peninsula with a hole through it. A 15 minutes hike is to the top. The view from up there is spectacular: To the north you can see the big glacier Mýrdalsjökull. To the east, the black lava columns of the Reynisdrangar come out of the sea, and to the west the whole coastline in the direction of Selfoss is visible – depending on weather conditions.

✓ Vík: A village – Its stretch of black basalt sand is one of the wettest places in Iceland. The cliffs west of the beach are home to many seabirds, most notably puffins.

✓ Sólheimajökull glacier  – We head back through the farmlands and sand flats south of the Sólheimajökull glacier which is an outlet glacier from Mýrdalsjökull, the fourth largest glacier in Iceland.

✓ Little Extra Touch – We will add some local touch and different places to visit depending on time, weather and mood.
