Overview
This tour combines the two most popular tours into one memorable day. Start by journeying along Iceland's untouched southern coastline and see waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glaciers. After this excursion, you return to the city where you can freshen up and enjoy dinner on your own before venturing out of the city once more with our evening aurora hunting bus tour.
What you will be doing
Then the buses will meet at 10-11 Kringlan and the tour departs from there at 8:30
We will get a small breakfast here if needed and to use the bathroom before heading to the first attraction of the tour
Skógafoss Waterfall is 25 meters wide and 60 meters high. Experience the noise water can make falling down a cliff and be maybe lucky by seeing rainbows formed by the spray of this natural wonder
With just about 320 inhabitants, Vík have a lot to offer. You can either have some lunch in one of the restaurants or take a short walk to the beach to have a look at the famous Reynisdrangar
In Reynisfjara, or Black Sand Beach, you get to experience the raw and alluring force of the North Atlantic and its masterfully shaped basalt column cliffs. The site is equally beautiful as it is dangerous, and should be approached with awe and respect
We take a short walk up to the glacier snout of Sólheimajökull, a sublet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull, where you can witness the dynamics of Icelandic glaciers, their formation, behaviour and rapid melting
This magnificent waterfall is 66 meters high and lets you even walk around it. But be careful: You might be soaked afterwards. On a good day you will also be seeing the Westman Islands or Vestmannaeyjar from here
We will return to Reykjavik for you to fresh up and have dinner, then we will head out again to hunt the Northern Lights!
