South Coast Tour Iceland + Glacier Hike from Reykjavík

Pick up in Reykjavik

Between 8:00 and 8:30 in the morning we will pick you up at your hotel in Reykjavik or at a pick-up point close to your accommodation. Once on board the minibus, we will leave the city and enjoy the journey into the wilderness - the Sólheimajökull Glacier and South Coast of Iceland adventure has officially begun!

Seljalandsfoss waterfall

In just a couple of hours we will arrive at our first stop: Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This impressive waterfall can be experienced from all sides as you can completely surround it. Grab your camera and capture the water that has a drop of 60 meters (200 feet) as you feel the vibrations of the water hitting the ground. Did you know that Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous and visited waterfalls in Iceland?

Skogafoss Waterfall

Not far from Seljalandsfoss waterfall, we will stop at our second location: Skogafoss waterfall. This waterfall will definitely take your breath away as you watch the water fall from the impressive cliffs of the Eyjafjoll Mountains with a 60-meter long (200 feet) drop and a width of 25 meters (82 feet). Have a snack and a drink while enjoying the breathtaking view. Next to the waterfall is a 527-step staircase up to the cliff overlooking the waterfall. Take the effort to climb the steps, you will experience the awesome power of the water, while seeing rainbows in the spray of the waterfall.

Sólheimajökull Glacier

Our tour of the south coast and waterfalls from Reykjavik continues with a 1 hour to 1.5 hour hike on the Sólheimajökull glacier. Our guide will provide us with all the necessary equipment to climb the Sólheimajökull glacier safely and easily: helmets, harnesses, ice axes and crampons. The guide will tell in detail about this rare natural phenomenon, its history and how ice forms on the mountain tops. Discover and experience the natural wonders hidden in the Sólheimajökull glacier: deep crevasses on the glacier surface and vertical shafts in the ice formed by melting water.

Reynisfjara, the black sand beach

Are you ready for the last activity of this tour of the south coast and waterfalls of Iceland? Our last stop will be the black sand beach of Reynisfjara. Yes, you read that right, Reynisfjara is a black sand beach! With its unique black color rising from volcanic ash, stunning panoramic views of the Dýrhólaey cliffs and the roaring waves of the Atlantic, Reynisfjara beach is one of the places in Iceland you can't miss. Fun fact: during the summer dozens of birds such as puffins and razorbills come to this area to nest on top of the cliffs. Enjoy the sound of birds and waves, and stroll along the black sand before returning to the minibus that will take us back to Reykjavik around 20:00. The tour of Iceland's south coast and waterfalls has come to an end!
