Day Trip to Waterfalls, Sólheimajökull Glacier & Black Sand Beach

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on our breathtaking day trip from Reykjavik with a small group in our minibus to the beautiful South Coast of Iceland, where we will visit different waterfalls, the extraordinary Black Sand Beach and even a glacier. Your adventure begins at the stunning Skógafoss Waterfall, a majestic cascade that plummets 60 meters from ancient sea cliffs. Here, you can climb 527 steps to a viewing platform for sweeping views, including the iconic Eyjafjallajökull volcano in the background. The mist from the falls creates vibrant rainbows on sunny days, making it a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts.

Next, you will visit the charming village of Vík, a tiny enclave renowned for its picturesque church and panoramic vistas of the Reynisdrangar sea rock formations. This stop offers a delightful break where you can enjoy a leisurely lunch while soaking in the serene landscapes. Continuing your journey, you will reach the dramatic Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, known for its stark black sands formed by volcanic rocks, offering a striking contrast with the white foamy waves lapping the shore.

The tour culminates with a visit to the awe-inspiring Sólheimajökull Glacier, an outlet glacier of the vast Mýrdalsjökull icecap. Marvel at the icy expanse before heading to the enchanting Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which marks the entry to the Thorsmörk nature reserve. The unique walking trail allows you to venture behind the falls, though be prepared to get wet as you experience the waterfall from an extraordinary perspective. Each stop on this tour offers a unique glimpse into Iceland's diverse and captivating landscapes.
