Your tour starts when you are picked up from Reykjavik. You will meet your expert English-speaking guide and the other guests on the tour before climbing aboard the coach and getting comfortable for the drive to Iceland’s South Coast.
The tour's first stop is Seljalandsfoss waterfall, one of the country's most picturesque waterfalls. It drops around 197 feet (60 meters) from the cliffs of the former coastline, making it a stunning sight.
What sets Seljalandsfoss waterfall apart is the path that allows visitors to walk behind the falls, offering a unique perspective and the chance to experience its power up close.
During this tour, you’ll also see Skogafoss waterfall, one of the country's largest and most impressive waterfalls.
It has a drop of about 197 feet (60 meters) and a width of approximately 82 feet (25 meters), creating a powerful cascade that produces a mist, often forming rainbows on sunny days.
Visitors can view the waterfall from the base or climb a staircase to a viewing platform at the top for panoramic views.
The next stop on the tour is Solheimajokull glacier. It is an outlet glacier of the larger Myrdalsjokull ice cap and extends about 6.8 miles (11 kilometers). The glacier constantly changes due to melting and shifting ice, providing a dynamic and educational experience.
Solheimajokull glacier, which has been retreating over recent years, is also a site for studying the impacts of climate change.
You’ll see Reynisfjara black sand beach, famous for its striking black sand and dramatic landscape. The beach features basalt columns, sea stacks, and powerful Atlantic waves. The towering Reynisdrangar rock formations just offshore are considered trolls turned to stone.
The beach is known for its dangerous sneaker waves, so visitors must stay well back from the water.
The last stop on the sightseeing tour of the South Coast is the village of Vik. The village has picturesque buildings and stunning views over the coast.
After the South Coast, it’s time to go to the Sky Lagoon, a geothermal spa less visited than the Blue Lagoon. After a busy day, relax in the warm waters here.
At the end of the tour, you’ll be dropped off back in Reykjavik, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
