Glaciers & Waterfalls / South Coast and Glacier Hiking

Walk behind the magnificent wall of water from Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Take an easy hike on the ancient ice of Sólheimajökull glacier with a knowledgeable and certified glacier guide. Then take a leisurely stroll along the black sand beach of Reynisfjara known for its famous basalt columns and caverns. Witness the Reynisdrangar cliffs and basalt rock stacks that rise from the sea whom which Icelandic legends say are mischievous trolls turned into rock by the rising sun. We continue this great sightseeing tour with a stop at Skógafoss waterfall. There you can walk up to the 60-meter high thundering waterfall to take your most memorable photographs. 

Explore the mighty Mýrdalsjökull on one of its extraordinary outlet glaciers, Sólheimajökull. Here we hike through the glacier wonderland, all the while being mesmerized by the blue ice and fascinating ice formations. Discover extraordinary sinkholes, moulins, ice tunnels and small ice caves in amazing scenery.

Experience all of the incredible landscapes as we pass through the fertile farming lands and small villages of south Iceland, where the land is rich in Viking history and heritage and watched over by the infamous Eyjafjallajökull and Hekla volcanoes. On clear days you will have an excellent view of these famous volcanoes. When we drive under the foothills of Eyjafjallajökull you can glimpse the Westman Islands rising steeply from the ocean just a few kilometres off the coast. 

Book this great value and easy sightseeing tour with an adventurous twist. The sights are breathtaking, the grandeur unforgettable. Where else in the world can you stand on 700 years old glacier ice, walk behind a 65 meters high waterfall and stroll along a volcanic black sand beach in one day?
