Overview

The tour’s highlight is visiting the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, where basalt columns and sea stacks rise from the shore and puffins nest in summer. The tour lasts about 10 hours and departs from downtown Reykjavik with pickup at designated bus stops or the cruise terminal. Travel by minibus along Iceland’s South Coast to several natural landmarks. The first stop is Skógafoss waterfall, which is 25 meters wide and drops 60 meters. Visitors can climb a staircase to a viewing platform above the falls for views of the south coast and the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. Restrooms are available onsite. Next is Sólheimajökull glacier, an outlet of the larger Mýrdalsjökull glacier. The route includes a walk through the valley shaped by the glacier and along the glacier river. This glacier is marked by layers of volcanic ash between ice and is surrounded by active volcanoes. Restrooms are present. After that, the group spends time at Reynisfjara Beach for sightseeing and a lunch break; a café and restrooms are onsite. Then there is a brief photo stop in the village of Vík, including a view of its church and basalt sea stacks. The final natural highlight is Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which drops 65 meters and has a path behind the cascade. It is part of the Seljalandsá River, fed by the Eyjafjallajökull glacier that erupted in 2010. Onsite facilities include restrooms, a food stall, and a gift shop. The tour returns to Reykjavik around 6 PM. Included are an English-speaking guide, onboard WiFi, air conditioning, and all fees and taxes. Lunch is not included but can be purchased during the stop at Reynisfjara. Bathrooms are available at most stops. The operator may adjust the itinerary as needed for safety or operational reasons. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Cruise ship passengers must provide ship details at booking. Luggage cannot be stored or transported during the tour.
