What you can expect

Travel along the south coast of Iceland, visiting the incredible waterfalls of Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss, go hiking on a glacier and then visit the famous Reynisfjara black sand beach on one of the must-do day tours from Reykjavik. The tour starts with a drive through the Hellisheidi mountain pass bringing you through moss-covered lava fields and past geothermal springs down to farmland along the beautiful southern coastline.

The first stop will be the stunning Seljalandsfoss waterfall which is one of Iceland's most famous attractions, with a dramatic 60-meter drop. To get a different perspective you can take a walk behind the waterfall into a wide cavern and look through the wall of water.

The next destination is Skogafoss waterfall. Up close, you will be able to feel the water spray on your face and you can also climb up the hill (all 527 steps) to see the majestic 60-meter-high waterfall from above and witness the water plummet down on its way to the Atlantic Ocean.

After experiencing the waterfalls, we'll take a lunch break.

After lunch, we head to the rugged Solheimajokull Glacier for the highlight of the tour! Solheimajokull is an outlet glacier that flows from the main ice cap of Myrdalsjokull where the mighty Katla Volcano rests. You will walk on the glacier, wearing special crampons on your shoes and explore the amazing cracks, crevasses and ice expertly lead by a certified glacier guide.

We will make one final stop before heading back to Reykjavik, at the renowned Reynisfjara, also known as the Black Sand Beach, which was recently added to Trip Advisor's Top 10 beaches in the world. It's every photographer's dream, with powerful Atlantic waves crashing on the beach with a backdrop of jagged basalt sea stacks and the huge basalt-column cave.

Visiting the natural treasures of the south coast should be at the top of your Iceland list.
