Overview

If you want to enjoy the beauty of the Icelandic landscapes full of waterfalls and volcanoes, black sand and basalt columns, without having to go on long hikes, the tour of the South Coast to Vík is right for you.

In just one day we will take you to the town of Vík (capital of the Southern region), stopping along the way in front of waterfalls such as Seljalandsfoss, Gljúfrabúi, Skogafoss and Kvernufoss. Before returning to Reykjavík, we will also stop at Reynisfjara beach with its basalt columns and the view of the Dyrholaey, a natural rock arch.

The second stop on our journey will be in front of the waterfall of Skogafoss, also filmed in the TV series 'Game of Thrones' and 'Vikings'.A long staircase of about 400 steps leads to the top of the 62-meter-high waterfall, giving you the opportunity to admire the landscape of the plains to the sea as far as the eye can see.The time frame includes transportation.

Kvernufoss

A few minutes' drive away, the waterfall of Kvernufoss lets itself be discovered after a short (and easy) walk in a small canyon.To this day it is still considered not to be such a turistic destination, so with a little luck we could have few other people around us.But please, keep it a secret!The time frame includes transportation.

Reynisfjara Beach

Before returning to the city, our last scheduled stop is on the black beach of Reynisfjara adorned by its basalt columns.From there it is possible to admire the natural formation of the Dyrholaey: promontory that overlooks the ocean has a breathtaking arc of rock, especially at dusk.As beautiful as it is, Iceland is also dangerous: the abnormal waves that can sometimes occur on this beach are terribly infamous, so it's always good to be cautious. Our guide will obviously ensure that your visit takes place safely. The time frame includes transportation.
