    Full description

    Spend the day exploring the dramatic landscapes of the south of Iceland along with its coastline on a full-day sightseeing tour from Reykjavik.

    Following a pickup from listed hotels or guesthouses in central Reykjavík, travel to the gorgeous waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Along the way, pass a variety of rivers, waterfalls, mountains, and glaciers.

    At the waterfall at Seljalandsfoss, walk behind the cascades and feel the spray on your face. Continue to Skógafoss to marvel at the 60-meter drop. Pass the black sand beaches of the southern coast and enjoy the power of the sea.

    Visit the glacier snout of Sólheimajökull to see an outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull. Admire the ever-changing feat of nature up-close. Then, look at the basalt sea stacks in the town of Vik, Iceland’s southernmost village just south of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, before returning to Reykjavik.

    Our tour provider was BusTravel Iceland, prior to our trip we were sent plenty of information regarding the coach that would pick us up. The start of the tour was a bit disorganised, we were picked up from bus stop 10 as described, but then made to swap coaches for the tour we had actually booked. But we fully enjoyed the rest of the trip, the locations we visited were amazing! The glacier walk was probably the highlight of our week in Iceland! Would definitely recommend this trip just to see the glacier alone! Only other complaint is that our guide didn’t give us much time at each stop, especially the waterfalls, we would of loved just a bit more time to fully explore each location.

    Despite the weather we had a fabulous day . Our Guide Daniel was excellent from start to finish . He was very knowledgeable and explained all about the wonderful waterfalls , glacier and the black beach . He was also funny and definitely had (what we say in Ireland ) the gift of the gab . Which means he is a great talker . Despite the rain we saw everything on the trip and thoroughly enjoyed our day and learned a lot about Ireland . Huge thanks to the bus driver too . I would definitely recommend this trip .

    Very good trip with Monika, who was a great guide. Also credit goes to Michal the driver, who drove in some icy conditions. This trip was worth the money. 10 hours seems long until you spend the day going to these sites. The day flew. Fabulous day out & we were extremely lucky it was a sunny day so picturesque blue skies and stunning scenery. Loved the glacier stop but sad to know if my kids went back at my age, they will no longer be there to see due to global warming. Seeing this was the highlight of my short trip to Iceland! Glad I chose this your over the Golden Circle for my first visit. Hopefully will be back another time to do that part :)
