What you will be doing
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.
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.
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 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
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.
