Our day tour will begin with our fast and efficient pick up service. We will come to pick you up you from either, one of the hotels in the center of Reykjavik or from one of the many pick up spots dotted across the city. When pick up is completed then we will leave the city and begin our journey along the southern coast of Iceland.
The South coast of Iceland faces the north atlantic ocean and as a result this means that this area often faces the most extreme weather conditions in the country. This has been a major factor contributing to the sculpting of the dramatic landscapes of this area where you will find glaciers, volcanoes, black sand beaches and acres of green lava fields. This contrast leads to extremely variated day tour that gives you bits and pieces of the best that Icelandic nature offers.

Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss waterfall and gljúfrabúi
Seljalandsfoss is a fascinating waterfall and perhaps one of the most visited waterfalls in Iceland. It’s popularity is well deserved though as the Seljalandsfoss waterfall houses a very special surprise, in the summertime you are able to walk behind the cascade and get a tremendous view of the waterfall from behind. The water that feeds this 60m tall waterfall originates from the (in)famous Eyjafjallajökull glacier capped volcano.

Skógarfoss
Skógarfoss Waterfall
The first stop we make is at the Skógafoss waterfall. The waterfall drops down from old sea cliffs some breathtaking 60 meters having the views of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in the background on a good day. The power from the water along with the height of the cliffs around leave you without words. The waterfall can be visited at two levels. At ground-level you can approach the water as close as you feel like and really feel the power of nature. Keep in mind the elements will take you with open arms and make you wet if you are not equipped with waterproof layers. There is also another path leading to a platform above the waterfall which gives you a view of the waterfall from a different angle. On a good day the view of the surrounding landscape is not to miss, if you are ready to take on the climb of a few hundred steep steps.

Kvernufoss
Kvernufoss
Kvernufoss Waterfall - the less visited Neighbour of Skógafoss. Kvernufoss waterfall is a beautiful 30-meters high (98 ft) waterfall that is half-hidden away in a gorge and is often overlooked by travellers. Like seljalandsfoss you can walk behind it, and it is very photogenic. The path to the waterfall is beautiful as well. The perfect way to end a good day trip before you head to Reykjavik for more adventures.

Reynisfjara is a world-famous black-sand beach found on the South Coast of Iceland, just beside the small fishing village of Vík í Mýrdal.

Dyrholaey
The Dyrhólaey Peninsula is a 120-meter boardwalk with breathtaking views of Iceland's south coast, as well as a rock arch bearing the same name may be found there. Another main attractions are the classic lighthouse and a plethora of birds. If you are lucky enough Puffins can be seen here from late April until late August.
