About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Seljalandsfoss, Hella Iceland
This falls, which is over sixty metres tall, tumbles from a cliff that curves inwards; this means when there is no ice on the ground you can walk behind it, allowing for some excellent photographs.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Skogafoss, Skogar Iceland
Admire this wonderful waterfall. The scale of it is incredibly impressive, especially considering the amount of spray rising as the water smashes against the rocks below. You can walk as close to the waterfall as you dare.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Solheimajokull Glacier, Vik Iceland
This fascinating glacier tongue stretches from the greater ice cap Myrdalsjokull, which covers the volcano Katla, the eruptions of which are even bigger than Eyjafjallajokull's. It is about 15 min walk from the parking lot to a good viewpoint to admire the glacier.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Reynisfjara Beach, Route 215, Vik Iceland
This stretch of coastline is renowned for its beauty, eeriness, and dramatic geology. Another very photogenic place with many hexagonal basalt columns. In summer, you may spot puffins up on the cliffs.
Duration: 25 minutes

This is a great tour. There's so much included that's worth seeing; Seljalandsfoss (wear waterproof clothing and non-slip footwear) and Skogafoss waterfalls, the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, Solheimajokull glacier , and the surprisingly green countryside, provide a good overview of the diversity in landscape in this part of the country. The timing of stops at each site was adequate. We liked that there was a healthy amount of exertion required at each site (walking, climbing) to break up the bus travel portions of the trip. Our guide was excellent. Highly recommend.
Loved this tour So many beautiful sights in 1 day
Mini bus tour, clean and comfortable. The sites we were taken to are worth the time, money and energy to visit. However, stormy weather prevented us from visiting VIK. Also the puffins kept themselves sheltered from the storm and were invisible. Walking behind a waterfall was a new and worthwhile experience. Our guide was informative. We were prewarned to bring rain resistant clothing and did not comply, resulting in a soaking. It would have been nice if the tour operator could have had some raincoats available for use or rental on the tour bus.
This was a wonderful tour! Great sights and a great driver!
We had a fantastic trip. In one long day,we were able to see glaciers, volcanos, black sand, waterfalls and island up close and personal. We had the benefit of an absolutely clear, relatively warm day which enabled us to see sights which may not have been visible otherwise. Andres was an excellent and informative guide and we were well taken care of. The scenery was even more spectacular because of the recent rains and everything was lush and green. The net result was that we saw some of the most beautiful sights we had ever seen. The use of a minibus instead of a large touring bus enabled us to be much more flexible on time and the tour group was able to bond much more easily. Thank you for an unforgettable day!
