Day 3 - South Coast Highlights: Skógafoss Waterfall, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Reynisfjara Black Beach and Sólheimajökull Glacier

Explore Iceland’s South Coast, a region known for its dramatic landscapes, glaciers, waterfalls, volcanoes, and black sand beaches. Following the historic Viking Trail from Reykjavík, the journey passes through fertile farmlands and changing scenery as the mountains and glaciers of the south come into view.

The route includes stops at the powerful Skógafoss waterfall, the coastal village of Vík í Mýrdal, the striking Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, and the impressive Sólheimajökull Glacier.

At Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach watch the powerful Atlantic waves crash onto the volcanic shoreline. Admire the dramatic Reynisdrangar sea stacks, which local folklore says were trolls turned to stone while attempting to drag a three-masted ship ashore. The beach is also renowned for its striking basalt columns and was featured in Game of Thrones.

The adventure continues to Seljalandsfoss, where conditions may allow a walk behind the waterfall, and nearby Gljúfrabúi, a hidden waterfall tucked into the mountainside. This is the perfect way to experience the highlights of Iceland’s South Coast, combining iconic sights with the region’s unique landscapes and natural beauty.

Be sure to carry warm clothing, rain gear and sturdy shoes.
