Itinerary
Our carefully crafted excursion begins in the vibrant capital city of Reykjavik. Your driver will pick you up from your accommodation then we set off for a scenic ride.
First stop is the enchanting Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Take this opportunity to enjoy a one of a kind chance to walk behind the cascading waterfall. It’s best to have good shoes and waterproof clothing as this can be a wet, cold but exhilarating experience.
Next stop is the majestic, infamously photographed & cinematic Skógafoss. When the sun hits right, rainbows usually appear in front of this roaring waterfall. If you're feeling adventurous, climb the 60m high stairs beside it for an incredible view from the top and a peaking gigantic volcano that erupted in 2010, called Eyjafjallajökull.
Halfway of the tour, we will pass by the heavenly glacier Sólheimajökull and eventually make a stopover at Vík, the southernmost part of Iceland. This coastal stretch is adorned with stunning landscapes that will leave any visitor awe-struck. You will be accompanied to the Reynisfjara beach, which is the last stop of the tour. Here you get to see the tall basalt columns and the black sand beach made of powdered lava.
After Reynisfjara, we return west to the capital region.
