Walk-behind the magnificent wall of water of Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Take an easy hike on the ancient ice of Sólheimajökull glacier with a knowledgeable and certified glacier guide. Then take a leisurely stroll along the black sand beach of Reynisfjara with its famous basalt columns and caves. See the Reynisdrangar cliffs, basalt rock stacks that rise from the sea, Icelandic legends say they are mischievous trolls turned into rock by the rising sun. We round off this great sightseeing tour with a stop at the Skógafoss waterfall. There you can walk up to the 60-meter high, thundering waterfall and even walk up its sides to gain a bird's eye view of the cascading water and rainbows.
All of this as you pass through the fertile farming lands and small villages of south Iceland, where the land is rich in Viking history and heritage, watched over by the infamous Eyjafjallajökull and Hekla volcanoes. On clear days you will have an excellent view of these famous volcanoes and when we drive under the foothills of Eyjafjallajökull you can glimpse the Westman Islands, rising steeply from the ocean just a few kilometers of the coast.
This is a great value, easy, sightseeing tour with an adventurous twist. The sights are breathtaking, the grandeur unforgettable..where else in the world can you stand on 700 years old glacier ice, walk behind a 60-meter high waterfall and stroll along a volcanic black sand beach in one day, and that is only half the story!

Enjoy a short walk to 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.

It's time for the long-awaited glacier hike!
Your guide will take you to the foot of Sólheimajökull Glacier, and give you everything you need - crampons, helmets and ice axes.
Together with your guide, 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 be there with you every step of the way.

No trip to the South Coast is complete without a visit 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.
Skógafoss is 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 top of the falls. Ge...)
