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 trip was really nice, in spite of rainy weather. Thor's guidance was really good and informative, and Simon took good care of safety in transport. Would definitely recommend.

Our guide, Richie, and driver, Mihow (sp?), were wonderful. Really made the trip a rewarding experience. It was obvious that Richie had put a lot of time and energy into learning about the area which made him quite knowledgeable and able to answer questions. We had a beautiful day of experiencing seeing some awe inspiring landscapes. I highly recommend!
