There are countless reasons to fall in love with Iceland. One of them is its majestic waterfalls. You can see so many of these captivating water cascades on The South Coast. If you begin your journey from Reykjavík, among the first waterfalls you'll encounter are Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss - both stunningly unique in their own way!

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Iceland. A beautiful walking path around it allows you to admire its beauty from different angles. Did you know that you can actually walk behind the serene Seljalandsfoss cascade? Yes, it’s one of those you see in movies!

Skógafoss, in turn, is one of Iceland’s largest waterfalls, with a dramatic 200-foot (60 m) cascade and a width of 82 feet (25 m). Prepare to be splashed while admiring this powerful phenomenon from up close!

There are countless other remarkable waterfalls in this region. Whether you're seeking the tallest, widest, most unique waterfall or simply yearning to relax by a charming, smaller cascade, you will find it all on the South Coast!

The Icelandic South Coast has one of the most beautiful black sand beaches, which you just need to see with your own eyes!

The best-known is Reynisfjara Beach. With its soft black sand and massive basalt columns, it is truly one of the most photographed places in Iceland. Our guides are eager to share the myths and folktales of this place with you.

Another famous black sand beach is the Diamond Beach. The ice blocks that have washed up from the Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier truly resemble diamonds scattered on the black volcanic sand. And when the sun shines on them, the view is even more magical.

Have you ever seen the viral photos of the surreal plane wreck on the black sand beach? This scene is actually from Sólheimasandur Beach, nestled between the majestic Skógafoss Waterfall and the charming village of Vík. You can observe this photogenic place from up close while listening to its captivating history.

There are even more charming beaches waiting to be explored along the South Coast! Just share your preferences with us, and we'll whisk you away.

The South Coast is home to Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. What's even more intriguing is that it conceals potentially active volcanoes beneath its icy cap. 

This majestic glacier is located in Vatnajokull National Park. Once you're in the national park area, you'll have the opportunity to experience a range of exciting activities like glacier hiking, sailing through the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, and exploring the Crystal Ice Cave.

Another fantastic destination for glacier hiking is the stunning Skaftafell National Park. If you’d like to add an adventurous glacier hike to your itinerary, our expert guides will provide all the necessary equipment and offer careful, personalized supervision for you and your group.

For those looking to dive even deeper into winter sports, snowmobiling on glaciers is a great option. Imagine navigating across glistening glaciers, surrounded by panoramic views of mountains and endless snow—an experience that promises to be unforgettable!
