Overview
Are you ready for an adventure like no other? Iceland's South Coast is a breathtaking region, the second most visited area. It is packed with incredible landmarks and scenic wonders that will captivate you. This diverse landscape has been the backdrop for many legendary sagas and holds a deep history from the early settlement period to modern times. The Viking Trail leads us out of Reykjavik towards the prominent agricultural towns of Selfoss and Hvollsvöllur. As we venture further south, the characteristic lowland vistas give way to more mountainous landscapes, and soon the ice caps come into view. Glaciers, farmlands and volcanoes await the camera lens on the one side - whilst out to sea, the Westman Islands shimmer seductively on the horizon. As you travel with us, our experienced guides will provide interesting information about Iceland's history, geology, and folklore, enriching your experience and making each stop along the way truly remarkable.
