Waterfalls, Glacier & the Black sand beach

Drive along southwestern stretch of the ring road leading from Reykjavik along volcanoes, waterfalls, and glaciers to the black sand beach and Icleand's southern most town, Vik. The tour starts with a drive through the Hellisheidi mountain pass bringing you through moss covered lava fields and past geothermal springs down to farmland along the coastline.

On clear days, Hekla, the infamous Eyjafjalljokull volcanoes along with the Westman-Islands can be seen rising in the distance as you approach the Solheimajokull Glacier, a photographers delight and the first stop on the tour.

The next destination is the otherworldly black beach known as Reynisfjara where the waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash upon the black sands from which the seemingly man-made hexagonal basalt columns rise to cliffs filled with nesting sea birds. After taking in your fill of the amazing geological formations, the tour will continue onto the small village of Vik with a church upon a hill overlooking three volcanic stone columns, said to be trolls turned to stone along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.

After Vik, the trip back towards Reykjavik will take you to the powerful Skogafoss waterfall where a short walk up a flight of stairs will reveal one of Iceland´s most scenic views. From here we will head to the final stop, the 60 meter high Seljalandsfoss Waterfall famous for the hidden pathway leading behind and around this stunning sight. With some luck and sunny weather conditions, rainbows may add to the spectacular experience at each waterfall. 

Visiting the natural treasures of the south coast should be at the top of your Iceland list.
