South Coast

A journey to some of the most splendid sites of the south coast of Iceland.

On the South Coast tour, you journey to Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss which are both beautiful waterfalls on the south coast of Iceland, as well as Sólheimajökull, a glacier. We also go to the wonderful Reynisfjara (the Black Sand Beach), home of the puffins. At last, we will visit Vík í Mýrdal, the southernmost village on the Icelandic mainland.

Seljalandsfoss is about 60 meters (200 ft) high, and you can get really close to it. The water from the river is super fresh and good to drink!

Skógarfoss. The drop of the water is about 60 meters (200 ft) high and 25 meters (82 ft) wide. There are a few ways to admire the waterfall, either from the steps on the right side of the waterfall where you have a beautiful view from above, or right in front of it where you can feel all of its power.

Sólheimajökull. We do have many glaciers in Iceland, especially on the south coast of the island. We stop at Sólheimajökull which is a glacier and is located between two of our most famous volcanoes, Eyjafjallajökull and Katla. The glacier is part of a bigger one called Mýrdalsjökull and is fairly accessible.

Black Beach. Reynisfjara. Nature is beautiful at the Black Sand Beach and the basaltic columns

by the beach are one of a kind. The three cliffs called Reynisdrangar rise up in the ocean with

the island Dyrahólaey not far away, making it one of the most stunning phenomenon in our

country.

Vík í Mýrdal. The southernmost village on the Icelandic mainland with 750

inhabitants. In 1991, the US journal Islands Magazine counted the beach at Vík as one of the ten most beautiful beaches on Earth.
