All about the trip
South Iceland is unique for that it is one of the flattest regions on the island. Because of that, most of all grain farming in Iceland is done there. The high mountains in the North, shield the area from the harshest winds.
Among the best part of this tour is stop by the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss is part of the Seljandsá river, which has its origins in Eyjafjallajökull glacier. What makes Seljalandsfoss so famous and exciting is that you can walk behind it. We recommend you bring either a raincoat or a waterproof coat along if you want to see it up close.
Skógafoss, another famous Icelandic waterfall, is the starting point of the Fimmvörðuháls walk over to Þórsmörk. The waterfall was also filmed in the films Thor: The Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
We will also stop at Reynisfjara black sand beach, with the Reynisdrangar rock formations and columnar basalt. It is one of the most spectacular beaches in Iceland but it can also be dangerous, and we kindly ask our guest not to go too close to the ocean and go by guidelines.
Additionally, we will stop by Sólheimajökull and walk up to a small lake which has formed in front of the retreating glacier.
