    Full description

    Spend the day exploring the dramatic landscapes of the south of Iceland along with its coastline on a full-day sightseeing tour from Reykjavik.

    Following a pick-up from listed hotels or guesthouses in central Reykjavík, travel to the gorgeous waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Along the way, pass a variety of rivers, waterfalls, mountains, and glaciers.

    At the waterfall at Seljalandsfoss, walk behind the cascades and feel the spray on your face. Continue to Skógafoss to marvel at the 60-meter drop. Pass the black sand beaches of the southern coast and enjoy the power of the sea.

    Visit the glacier snout of Sólheimajökull to see an outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull. Admire the ever-changing feat of nature up-close. Then, look at the basalt sea stacks in the town of Vik, Iceland’s southernmost village just south of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, before returning to Reykjavik.

    Highlight of our week-long trip. Our guide, Anna, was amazing. Anna made the trip worth it. Anna is so enjoyable, as she is friendly, kind, sweet, informative, quirky, and very conversational and approachable--similar to a "cool aunt". The views were stunning, and we spent the perfect amount of time at each stop. Incredible picture opportunities, incredible sights, and very interesting information. If I could have Anna for every excursion, I would go back in a heart beat. Very much worth the price. Dress in flexible layers, as the temperature fluctuates from warm-cold-warm dramatically. The beach and waterfalls may mist you and have you searching for some warm fleece base layers. This is my only review leaving a full 5/5 rating in all 4 categories.

    This was our second attempt as our original reservation partially happened due to severe weather conditions. Monica, our guide, was kind enough to show us other places in lieu of those we missed on our first trip. The “real” trip happened the next day, and we had a blast. South Iceland does have a lot of beautiful spots to boast of.
