The South Coast of Iceland has many natural wonders and quaint villages to explore. During the tour, we will travel through lava fields, past mountains, and glaciers. We will go explore and experience the wilderness and the breathtaking views over South Iceland. We will visit the Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall that you can walk behind and Skogafoss, one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland. After that, we will stop by at the small peninsula Dyrhólaey. The view from Dyrhólaey is interesting: To the north is to be seen the big glacier Mýrdalsjökull. To the east, the black lava columns of the Reynisdrangar come out of the see. We also will go to the Black Sand Beach of Reynisfjara with its rich birdlife, magnificent basalt column cliffs and stunning sea stacks.

    Seljalandsfoss

    Seljalandsfoss is one of the best-known waterfalls in Iceland. It is 65 meters tall and it is breathtaking. A path leads you behind the waterfall, but do bring a raincoat as you will get soaking wet from the drizzle. It is fantastic walking behind Seljalandsfoss, especially on a sunny day when one can catch a rainbow.
