    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.

    This is a great way to experience the South of Iceland without needing a car. It's certainly worth getting the hotel / close tourist bus stop pick up. The black beach, amazing waterfalls with a proper lunch stop in Vík. Also the tour is completed in time to enjoy an evening in Reykjavík.

    Had the best time. Monika our guide was amazing, ran to military precision!! She was so knowledgable and interesting and out 3 extra stops in because the weather was great. Not to leave out Michael the bus driver who was so accommodating and got us around safe and on time. Thank you both for making the trip extra memorable

    Fantastic experience. Well worth while but do listen to your guide... the Black Sand beaches were amazing and without the guidance of our host could of been dangerous with the Sneaker waves so very glad we paid for the Guide. I would say, the waterfall you can walk behind, on the get your Guide website, it does say weather dependant, but in fact that does mean in the summer period only so we had no chance anyway. Highly recommend despite the length of coach time
