Thrilling 11-Hour Katla Ice Cave Tour with South Coast Waterfalls from Reykjavik

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Iceland's South Coast on this 11-hour tour, which includes an unforgettable ice caving experience at Katla. This tour is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in some of Iceland's most iconic natural attractions in just one day.

Your journey begins in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Convenient pick-up options directly from your hotel or a nearby bus stop are also available for a small additional cost. 

As you set out from the capital, you'll travel in comfort along Iceland's scenic Ring Road, heading towards the southern part of the island.

The tour is led by a friendly, English-speaking guide who will ensure your experience is both informative and enjoyable. With a wealth of knowledge about Iceland's geology, history, and culture, your guide will provide fascinating insights at each stop.

The South Coast of Iceland is renowned for its diverse and stunning natural beauty. Towering waterfalls, black sand beaches, and vast glaciers characterize this region. It's a place where the power of nature is on full display, constantly evolving due to the island's volcanic activity and glacial movements.

Your first stop is the charming village of Vik, the southernmost village on mainland Iceland. 

Vik is known for its dramatic black sand beach and towering basalt sea stacks. The village, though small, is a popular stop for travelers due to its picturesque setting and proximity to some of Iceland's most famous natural attractions.

The tour's highlight is the ice caving adventure at Katla, located within the Myrdalsjokull glacier. After a short drive from Vik, you'll arrive at the glacier's edge, where you'll be equipped with all necessary gear for a safe and exhilarating ice caving experience. 

Katla ice cave, formed by centuries of volcanic and glacial activity, is a stunning natural wonder. It has walls of blue ice and streaks of black due to past volcanic eruptions by the volcano hidden beneath the glacier. 

As you explore the cave, your guide will share insights into its formation and the unique environment of Myrdalsjokull. Feel free to ask your guide questions if you're curious about anything.

On the return journey to Reykjavik, you'll visit two of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss. 

Skogafoss is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland, with a powerful cascade that creates a mist often accompanied by rainbows on sunny days. 

Seljalandsfoss, on the other hand, boasts a unique pathway that allows you to walk behind the waterfall. This path provides a different perspective and a great opportunity for photos.

After an exciting day on the South Coast, the guide will drop you off in Reykjavik, marking the end of your 11-hour excursion.
