South Coast, Waterfalls and Black Beach Tour from Reykjavik
About This Tour
South Iceland, Waterfalls and Black Sand Beach Tour takes you on a journey of exploration through the many dramatic faces of the Icelandic landscape. The South Coast region of Iceland is the flattest in the country making it ideal for farming but because this is Iceland, the land is also surrounded by majestic mountains, Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, looming volcanoes and glaciers, Reynisfjara black sand beach and the formidable sea.
Your expert guide will also point out several notorious volcanoes, including Hekla, Eyjafjallajokull and Katla.

Itinerary
1
Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes, and was for centuries believed to be the entrance to hell.
2
Visit Skogafoss waterfall. This is a picturesque 200-foot (60-meter) tall, broad and powerful waterfall, and due to its striking appearance it is frequently used in movies and commercials. You can get close enough to feel the spray from the falls on your face and, if you like, then climb a stairway leading to the top of the falls allowing you a view from above.
3
Stroll along the black sand and pebble beach of Reynisfjara. The beach features stacks of basalt columns that wall off surrounding cliffs scattered with caves. You will be awed by the incredibly powerful waves of the Atlantic ocean crashing on to the shore. Offshore you will see the Reynisdrangar pillars, basalt rock stacks that rise from the sea.
4
Here we stop at a local restaurant for a lunch break at your own expense.
5
A volcano / glacier, which gained worldwide attention in 2010 when the ash cloud from an eruption stopped all flight traffic in Europe.
6
Short stop by Solheimajokull, an outlet glacier of Myrdalsjokull glacier.
7
Seljalandsfoss is a unique waterfall in that you can actually walk behind it when the weather permits and experience the beauty of this waterfall in a completely new way.
