What you can expect

South Coast's Top Sights
Explore the stunning Skógafoss waterfall, famous for its appearance in Game of Thrones, where nature and fantasy collide. Stroll along Reynisfjara’s renowned black sand beach, voted one of the world’s most beautiful places. It’s a must-see, capturing hearts for a reason!

Venture behind the Seljalandsfoss waterfall for a unique view and unforgettable photos, even if you get a little wet. Discover the hidden beauty of Gljúfrabúi, a lesser-known waterfall that offers a peaceful escape.

Your adventure continues with a thrilling glacier hike on Sólheimajökull. After receiving safety gear and instructions, you’ll walk on ancient ice, explore glacier crevasses, and even taste fresh glacier water.

Waterfalls, Black Sand, and Scenic Views Await
Hop on a comfortable minibus and set off to explore Iceland's South Coast. Your friendly driver-guide will share insights and make stops at key attractions. Tours are flexible and adjusted to the season and weather to ensure the best experience with fewer crowds.

“Well planned to avoid the crowds.” - 5-star TripAdvisor review.

Skógafoss Waterfall
Kick off your journey at Skógafoss, where the Skógá River crashes down 60 metres over ancient cliffs. On sunny days, mist from the falls creates vivid rainbows, making this spot a magical start to your day.

Glacier Hike on Sólheimajökull
Get ready for the tour’s highlight: a 2.5-hour glacier hike, including 1.5 hours spent on Sólheimajökull glacier. Equipped with crampons, helmets, and ice axes, your guide will lead you safely across the ice, showing you crevasses and sharing fascinating glacier facts.

“An incredible experience! It felt like walking on another planet.” - 5-star TripAdvisor review.

Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach
Next, we visit Reynisfjara black sand beach. Once you step on the volcanic sand, you’ll see why it’s considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The dramatic basalt columns and Reynisdrangar rock formations make for a perfect photo backdrop. Just be cautious of the strong waves.

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
On the way back, stop at the iconic Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Walk behind the cascade for a unique perspective and an incredible view of this natural wonder. It’s a can’t-miss experience beneath the infamous Eyjafjallajökull volcano.

Gljúfrabúi Waterfall
Nearby is the hidden gem, Gljúfrabúi. Tucked away behind cliffs, this quiet waterfall is perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy nature in peace.
