Overview
It was Led Zeppelin who once sang about Iceland “We come from the land of the ice and snow from the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow”. These lyrics come from the reputation Iceland has as being a country born of fire and ice, a reputation that will become incredibly clear to you as you journey along our country's southern coast where glaciers and volcanoes await you. During this tour, you will get to see black sand beaches, glorious waterfalls and volcanoes.

Stop to get a small breakfast if needed and to use the bathroom before heading to the first attraction of the tour
25 meters wide and 60 meters high. You maybe lucky to see rainbows formed by the spray of this natural wonder
With only c.320 inhabitants, Vík have a lot to offer. You can either have some lunch in one of the restaurants or take a short walk to the beach to have a look at the famous Reynisdrangar
In Reynisfjara, or Black Sand Beach, you get to experience the raw and alluring force of the North Atlantic and its masterfully shaped basalt column cliffs. The site is equally beautiful as it is dangerous, and should be approached with awe and respect
We take a short walk up to the glacier snout of Sólheimajökull, a sublet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull, where you can witness the dynamics of Icelandic glaciers, their formation, behaviour and rapid melting
This magnificent waterfall is 66 meters high and lets you even walk around it. But be careful: You might be soaked afterwards. On a good day you will also be seeing the Westman Islands or Vestmannaeyjar from here
