Embark on a scenic drive along the South Coast, admiring the stunning landscapes as you reach the first stop: the majestic Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Get close to the cascading water and walk behind it for a unique perspective.

Next, continue to the powerful Skógafoss waterfall, known for its impressive height and the ethereal mist it creates. Capture breathtaking photos and feel the power of nature as you stand in awe of this natural wonder.

Afterward, immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of Reynisfjara, a black sand beach famous for its striking rock formations and powerful crashing waves. Marvel at the towering Reynisdrangar sea stacks and the symmetrical basalt columns that adorn the cliffs.

But the adventure doesn't end there. Meet your ATV guide at the base near Mýrdalsjökull glacier to embark on a thrilling 2-hour ATV adventure on Solheimasandur black sand beach. Before riding on the iconic black sand, you'll receive all the necessary gear and a short safety briefing. Follow your guide as you explore the stunning coastline and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Marvel at the views of Iceland’s southernmost tip, Dyrhólaey promontory, and admire the marvelous Mýrdalsjökull glacier in the distance. As part of the ATV adventure, you'll also stop at the famous DC3 plane wreck on Sólheimasandur, a relic that has been resting in the sand since 1973.

This private tour offers an unforgettable experience of Iceland's natural wonders. Please note that a valid driver's license is required to drive an ATV, and single riders and groups with odd numbers must book a single-ride ATV.

The 62 m (203 ft) high majestic waterfall Seljalandsfoss is fed by spring water originating in the moor Hamragarðaheiði and is part of the river Seljalandsá. Many think it is fed with melting water from the glacier-capped Eyjafjallajökull, a volcano that famously erupted in 2010 and affected air traffic throughout Europe, but the water in Seljalandsfoss is bright and clean due to it being spring water. It cascades into a beautiful meadow, like a curtain over a tall cliff that once marked a coastline by the ocean before eruptions extended the land, and behind the waterfall is a walking path for a unique angle of the waterfall and its surroundings. This trail continues from behind the waterfall and around it. The picturesque Seljalandsfoss is among the most photographed waterfalls in Iceland for a reason. For instance, it was featured in Justin Bieber‘s music video I’ll Show You and was the first leg of the sixth season of the American series The Amazing Race.
