Itinerary
Glacier Hike on SólheimajökullSólheimajökull, an outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s fourth-largest glacier, graces the South Coast with its presence. Located just 158 kilometers (98 miles) from Reykjavík, it offers a unique opportunity to explore glacial features and gain insight into its formation. This icy realm is a living testament to the dynamic forces that shape Iceland’s ever-changing landscape.

The Black Sand Beach Reynisfjara, a stunning black sand beach on the South Coast, showcases the raw power of the Atlantic Ocean. Its colossal waves crash upon the shore, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. Basalt columns, resembling ancient sentinels, line the beach, while the enigmatic “Reynisdrangar” sea stacks emerge from the ocean’s depths, steeped in local folklore. This beach has earned its place among the world’s most beautiful non-tropical beaches.

Skogafoss waterfallSkogafoss, one of Iceland’s classic waterfalls, stands as a magnificent testament to the power of nature. Soaring to a height of 65 meters and spanning 25 meters in width, it ranks among the country’s largest waterfalls. Local legend weaves tales of a hidden chest of gold behind the falls, a challenge that would require the strength and bravery of a Viking to pursue.

Seljalandsfoss waterfallsSeljalandsfoss, another of Iceland’s classic waterfalls, offers a unique twist on the traditional waterfall experience. While not among the country’s largest falls, what sets Seljalandsfoss apart is the rare opportunity to walk behind the cascading water for most of the year. This immersive encounter transports you into a world of mist and magic, revealing a different perspective of nature’s beauty.
