We’ll pick you up in Reykjavik and head to the South Coast, Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route. First, discover two beautiful waterfalls — Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabúi. Next, set foot on the mighty Sólheimajökull Glacier with our expert guide!
After the glacier hiking tour, take a leisurely stroll along the world-famous Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. A highlight, of course, is Reynisdrangar Sea Cliffs. On our way back to Reykjavik, we’ll stop at the majestic Skógafoss Waterfall. You’ll be talking about this adventure for a long time!

In the morning, hop on a minibus and begin your journey South. Our first stop is at Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, perhaps the most famous cascade in the land of fire and ice. The 200-ft (60-m) waterfall gushes into a shallow pool with a tremendous force.
A foot-path runs around the back of Seljalandsfoss. Visitors can walk behind the waterfall and soak in the power of the crashing waters. If you take the walk, make sure to wear a waterproof jacket - there is a lot of spray. Don't forget to pack your camera! The views are blissful.
Then, enjoy a short walk to Gljúfrabúi Waterfall, a hidden gem of the South Coast. Gljúfrabúi's name literally means “Canyon Dweller.” The 131-ft (40-m) cascade allows visitors to enjoy the natural beauty in peace.
Next, head to the foot of Sólheimajökull Glacier. It's time for the long-awaited glacier hike. Your guide will provide you with all the necessary glacier-walk gear that includes crampons, helmets, and ice axes (these are used for additional support i...
Next, head to the foot of Sólheimajökull Glacier. It's time for the long-awaited glacier hike. Your guide will provide you with all the necessary glacier-walk gear that includes crampons, helmets, and ice axes (these are used for additional support if needed).
Then, hike atop the chilly tongue of Sólheimajökull. The ice cap is an outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökul, the fourth-largest glacier in Iceland. As you trek across the crackling ice, explore ice formations, chasms, crevasses, and jagged ridges. Your guide will tell you more about glacier formation and nearby surrounds.
Never hiked on a glacier before? No worries. Our expert guides will give you short instructions and ensure your safety.
After the glacier hike, head to Reynisfjara, Iceland's most spectacular black-sand beach. With outstanding views of the Atlantic Ocean and enormous basalt columns, Reynisfjara will make your jaw drop. As you stroll along the beach, gape at the dram...
After the glacier hike, head to Reynisfjara, Iceland's most spectacular black-sand beach. With outstanding views of the Atlantic Ocean and enormous basalt columns, Reynisfjara will make your jaw drop.
As you stroll along the beach, gape at the dramatic Reynisdrangar Basalt Sea Stacks that rise out of the ocean. These volcanic formations are trolls caught out at sunrise and turned to stone, or so the legend goes. If you look to the west, you'll see Dyrhólaey promontory.
Our final stop is at Skógafoss, one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland. More powerful than Seljalandsfoss, the cascade drops 200-ft (60-m) into a river. On sunny days, Skógafoss creates vivid rainbows across the water. Climb a staircase up to the ...

Climb a staircase up to the top of the falls. Get a bird's-eye view over southern Iceland's coastline — a perfect conclusion to your adventure. If the sky is clear, you'll see Eyjafjallajökull and Hekla volcanoes towering over the horizon.
