  Pickup

  Depart from Reykjavik at 8:00am. Your guide will pick you up from your Reykjavík hotel in your einkabíll and take you southeast along the Ring Road, sharing their knowledge of the country as you drive.

  Seljalandsfoss

  The first stop on our tour is the breathtaking Seljalandsfoss waterfall. During  most of the year, you can walk behind the waterfall into a cave for a  view from the back and the sides. The surrounding area is also home to a  variety of plant life, including moss, wildflowers, and ferns that add  to its majesty. Bring a rain jacket because this waterfall by far has  the most spray!

  Skógafoss

  Next up is the mighty Skogafoss waterfall, one of  Iceland’s largest waterfalls, with a drop of over 60 meters. Feel the  power of this waterfall close up. The mist from the falls can create a  beautiful display of rainbows on sunny days if you’re lucky. If you want  a workout, climb up a nearby staircase to get a bird’s-eye view of the  waterfall and surrounding landscapes.

  Hike onto Solheimajokull Glacier

  Solheimajokull glacier is our next stop and an  absolute highlight of the tour. This is one of the few locations in the  world where you can walk from the car park onto a glacier in about 30  minutes. The hike itself will be roughly 2.5 hours in total from start to finish and your guide will gear you up and teach you how to walk on your glacial crampons before starting. It  is an easy hike if you are moderately fit but some parts of it have you  walking at a slight upward incline to get to the plateau of the  glacier. As you make your way up, your guide will share some  interesting facts about the glacier’s formation, its importance to  Iceland’s ecosystem, and how it has changed throughout the years. Hiking  amongst the crystal blue ice and volcanic ash is unlike anything that  you will ever experience and your guide will be leading you to the most  photogenic features on the glacier including crevasses and deep glacial  holes.

  Dyrhólaey

  After our glacier hike, we will visit the towering cliffs of Dyrhólaey,  where you can see breathtaking views of the black sand beaches and some  truly remarkable sea stacks and cliff formations. Keep your eyes peeled  for puffins and other seabirds that nest in the cliffs in the  summertime.

  Lunch at the Black Beach Restaurant

  Before heading to the Black Beach we will take a late lunch the Black  Beach Restaurant. Here you can enjoy an assortment of fish, lamb,  soups, sandwiches, and burgers with a nice beautiful view of the beach.

  The Black Sand Beach

  We will end our tour with a visit to Reynisfjara, a  stunning black sand beach with towering basalt columns and sea stacks.  The beach is also home to some fascinating folklore and legends,  including the story of the Reynisdrangar sea stacks. You can also  explore the nearby cave, Halsanefshellir, which has unique rock  formations and provides a stunning backdrop for photos.

  Drop-off

  We conclude this epic adventure with a relaxing drive back to  Reykjavik where you will part ways with your guide and get dropped off  back at your accommodation.

  Throughout the tour, your photographer will capture the  beauty of the landscapes and the memories of your trip, so you can relax  and enjoy the sights without worrying about taking photos. At the end  of the journey, you will receive an edited photo package as a keepsake  of your South Coast adventure within 14 days.
