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. Along the way, discover a variety of rivers, waterfalls, mountains, and glaciers. Following a pickup from listed hotels or guesthouses by bus in central Reykjavík, travel to the gorgeous waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. 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 at Reynisfjara, Iceland’s southernmost village just south of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, before returning to Reykjavik.

The tour was absolutely amazing. An absolut must if you visit Iceland. Each place was worth visiting and if you get lucky with the weather like we did, this will be an unforgettable experience. Our driver Albert was great. The drive was smooth, and there were no delays. Our guide Ritchie Rich was the perfect guide. He was sooo prepared and made the tour so much fun. He was interactive, created a whatsapp group to chat and share pictures, had the perfect itinerary with all the facts about each place we saw. And additionally, he came with us on each stop, took time to take pictures for us, showed us the perfect spots and made sure we fully enjoyed the experience.
