An adventure for all ages that you won't forget in no time.
We will start our day in Reykjavik where I will pick you up at bus stop 8 (Hallgrimskirkja). From there, we will drive directly on the famous ring road towards the south. In total, we will visit 6 different waterfalls, which everyone is very special for themselves.
I am also happy to explain to you the many geological peculiarities behind these wonderful landscapes.
I am also can to help you capture photos this day.

We will visit the following waterfalls:

Thorstein's Grove            

Our first stop is a hidden gem on the south coast of Iceland. A place that not many people know about and we can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this place. The waterfall is hidden in a rare Icelandic forest surrounded by small caves, which are worth exploring. A beautiful place that is sometimes used as a wedding location.

Gluggafoss           

Gluggafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls on Iceland's south coast and is still not well known. A small cave allows you to have a view behind the waterfall and to feel the power of water with your own hands. With a view of the geology of the area, we will understand the appearance of the waterfall and see the effects of volcanic eruptions in the past.

Gljúfrabúi                

This stunning waterfall is located right next to one of Iceland's main tourist attractions, the Seljalandsfoss. Hidden in a small grove offers this waterfall is one of the best photo locations. But be careful: you might get soaked! Bring waterproof boots and clothes. Watch your camera or phone!

Seljalandsfoss                  

The "Walk behind the Waterfall" waterfall – is one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland. A unique opportunity to see a waterfall from all directions. A real "must-see" on every south coast tour. Notice: The path behind the waterfall can be closed in winter, to icy conditions on the trail.

Skógafoss          

Visit a second famous waterfall on Iceland's south coast. The Skogarfoss is a "must-see" on each Iceland trip. 25m wide and a drop of 60 m is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland. Hike up the trail and get a view from the top.

Kvernufoss             

At the end of our trip, we will visit the less know neighbor of Skogarfoss. Kvernufoss is also a hitten pearl located in a small canyon. A beautiful place with an impressive view from behind the waterfall.

The tour can be booked all year around but can be canceled at short notice due to bad weather conditions.
Waterproof clothes and sturdy shoes are highly recommended.
In winter, some areas may be locked for safety reasons.
