Overview

Discover the enchanting wonders of Iceland's south coast in an unforgettable day trip from Reykjavik. Prepare to be awestruck by the beauty of Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, where you can even take a leisurely walk behind the cascading veil of Seljalandsfoss. Dive into the rich tales and folklore surrounding the powerful Skogafoss waterfall, discover the black-sand beach, and venture into the Katla Ice Cave. This is an experience that defies the ordinary. Price is per group, max 5.

What you will be doing

Seljalandsfoss Watefall

One of Iceland's classic waterfalls, this one has a little twist. Certainly not one of Iceland's biggest waterfalls but what makes Seljalandsfoss different is that most of the year you can walk behind the cascading water. This makes for a unique experience.

Skogafoss

One of Iceland’s classic waterfalls and is truly magnificent. 65 meters tall and 25 meters wide making it also one of the biggest waterfalls in the country. Legend has it that there is a chest of gold hidden behind the waterfall. You’ll have to be as strong as a Viking to get to it though.

Katla Ice Cave

The Katla glacier is a tongue, a flow of ice that comes from Mýrdals glacier, Iceland's fourth largest glacier. At the base of the Katla glacier are many caves, created by water which pours down the glacier in the warmer months of the year. The area is fascinating, with raw nature at its best, and proper movie-making landscapes. Crystal blue ice caves, rugged Icelandic nature and towering mountains of ice. Prepare to be amazed!

Hjörleifshöfði

Hjörleifshöfði is on Myrdalssandur to the South of the Katla glacier. This place is full of great history and we love to tell you the stories of old, of the first settler that came ashore here. We also visit the Hjorleifshofdi Cave, commonly known as the Yoda Cave. Last but certainly not least we drive towards the ocean, to a deserted black sand beach away from the crowds

Vík

The southernmost village on the south coast of Iceland, located on the ring road. Famous for its beautiful landscapes, black sand beaches and strange rock formations, Vík is a great place to visit.
