Join this South coastík along volcanoes, waterfalls, and glaciers to the black sand beach and Iceland's southernmost town, Vík. The tour starts with a drive through the Hellisheiði mountain pass, bringing you through moss-covered lava fields and past geothermal springs down to farmland along the coastline.
On clear days, Hekla, the Eyjafjalljökull volcanoes along with the Westman Islands can be seen rising in the distance as you approach the Solheimajökull Glacier, a photographer's delight and the first stop on the tour. The next destination is the Reynisfjara black beach where the waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash upon the black sands from which the seemingly man-made hexagonal basalt columns rise to cliffs filled with nesting seabirds. After taking in your fill of the geological formations, the tour will continue onto the small village of Vík with a church upon a hill overlooking three volcanic stone columns, said to be trolls turned to stone along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
The trip back towards Reykjavík will take you to the Skógafoss waterfall, where a short walk up the flight of stairs will reveal one of Iceland's most scenic views. From here you'll head to the final stop, the 60-meter-high Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, famous for the hidden pathway leading behind and around this iconic sight. With some luck, you may see rainbows at each waterfall.
