South Coast (08:30/10 hours/Swedish-speaking guide) (B04)

On this day tour, we drive along Iceland's south coast and stop to see the waterfalls Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Skógar, Vík, and Dyrhólaey.

Pick-up takes place at bus stops near various hotels in Reykjavik. More information about the exact pick-up location will be provided in the travel documents sent out before departure.
Seljalandsfoss is a narrow but tall waterfall that plunges over the western slopes of Eyjafjöll. A path at the base of the cliff allows for a safe and easy walk behind the waterfall and out the other side. Skógar is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. The Skógafoss waterfall, standing 60 meters tall, is one of the most impressive in the country. From Skógar, we continue to Vík, a village east of the mountain Reynisfjall in the Mýrdal area. It is the southernmost village in Iceland. In Vík, the coastline and surrounding mountains offer dramatic contrasts and landscapes known for their natural beauty. Reynisfjall and its cliffs are among the richest in Iceland in terms of vegetation and birdlife. The black sand beach in Vík is a major nesting area for Arctic terns. South of Reynisfjall, three rock pillars rise 66 meters from the sea – Skessudrangar, Landdrangar and Langhamrar – which, according to local folklore, are not rocks at all, but trolls turned to stone at sunrise. West of Vík is the 120-meter-high headland Dyrhólaey, which ends in a unique archway that boats can sail through.
