Itinerary
Pass by: Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes, and was for centuries believed to be the entrance to hell.
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.
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.
Here we stop at a local restaurant for a lunch break at your own expense.
Pass by: A volcano / glacier, which gained worldwide attention in 2010 when the ash cloud from an eruption stopped all flight traffic in Europe.
Short stop by Solheimajokull, an outlet glacier of Myrdalsjokull glacier.
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.

Iceland South Coast Tour
A fantastic opportunity to see the southern coast of Iceland which shows you two volcanos which are due to erupt as it is has been some time since they have. Black beach was beautiful a must see and some beautiful waterfalls
Absolutely beautiful
This is an excellent tour. Our tour guide Richi and driver Magnus were amazing and helped to make it a most memorable day. I have never had a tour guide curate the music in the bus to go along with the sights. There were just so many of these little extra things that added to the experience. The glacier, the waterfalls, Black Diamond beach and the geiser helped provide us with an Icelandic experience. Would recommend.
Wonderful experience!...
Wonderful experience! Enjoyed it more than the golden circle. Erik our guide was absolutely the best
Good tour
Very good and informative tour
Wonders of the south tour
A long but amazing day. We encountered heavy snow and a blizzard but all the sights were still amazing. We particularly enjoyed the walk to the glazier. Coach was very comfortable and warm on a cold and snowy day. Glad we did not hire a car and booked a coach tour. Albert ( tour guide) was very knowledgable and friendly
