    Full description

    Spend the day exploring the dramatic landscapes of the south of Iceland along with its coastline on a full-day sightseeing tour from Reykjavik. Along the way, discover a variety of rivers, waterfalls, mountains, and glaciers.

    Following a pickup from listed hotels or guesthouses by bus in central Reykjavík, travel to the gorgeous waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. At the waterfall at Seljalandsfoss, walk behind the cascades and feel the spray on your face.

    Continue to Skógafoss to marvel at the 60-meter drop. Pass the black sand beaches of the southern coast and enjoy the power of the sea.

    Visit the glacier snout of Sólheimajökull to see an outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull. Admire the ever-changing feat of nature up-close. Then, look at the basalt sea stacks at Reynisfjara, Iceland’s southernmost village just south of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, before returning to Reykjavik.

    Loved every site we visited! So varied and each as beautiful as the last. Well planned so that not too much time was spent on the bus as it is a long journey and there was plenty of stops for the toilet and to grab food. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Transport was on time and comfortable with option to drop off where you wanted at the end. Professional and well done trip.

    This trip is amazing. If you dont have that many days in iceland but want to see a lot, go on this trip. The nature was abseloutly exquisite, and the guide Símon was super fun. I personally liked this trip more than the golden circle all though that was also a great trip.
