Description

Explore some of the most beautiful attractions in Iceland on this small group tour of the South Coast with glacier hiking in Solheimajokull glacier. Travellers who want to get photographed while seeing majestic waterfalls, scenic coasts, and a glacier will enjoy the itinerary of this tour.

Your adventure in Iceland begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation or a designated tour stop in Reykjavik. The tour guide, who doubles as your photographer, will then take you to the southernmost region of Iceland, known for its diverse landscapes by the Atlantic Ocean.

Part of this sightseeing and glacier hiking is a 30-shot photo package you'll receive within 14 days after your excursion. The package includes your edited portraits, landscape shots, and action photos while exploring each site on the South Coast.

First to see is the breathtaking Seljalandsfoss waterfall, 80 miles (128 kilometers) from Reykjavik. This attraction is one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland because of its beauty that cascades from a 200-foot (60-meter) cliff.

Apart from its beautiful cascade, the main feature of the Seljalandsfoss waterfall is the cave behind it. The cavern is a natural walking path that allows visitors to view the waterfall from behind, giving you a unique sightseeing experience.

Not far from here is Skogafoss, another waterfall of the same height but with different surrounding landscapes. On a sunny day, it's possible to see rainbows above Skogafoss waterfall because of the mist it creates. The rainbow and the waterfall make an excellent background for landscape or group photos.

After chasing waterfalls, the adventure takes you to the icy wilderness of Solheimajokull glacier for two hours of glacier hiking. Before starting your hike, the guide will provide you with glacier equipment, including crampons and an ice axe, to keep you safe while on the ice.

Stunning landscapes of different colorations await your small group atop the glacier. Crevasses, moulins, ice walls, and more ice formations crisscross Solheimajokull. These geological wonders are the perfect places for your guide to take some action photos of you while hiking.

As you depart from the ice cap, the journey takes you closer to the coastline of Iceland by visiting the Reynisfjara black beach and Vik village.

Vik i Myrdal, commonly known as Vik, is a charming coastal village that serves as a pitstop for most travelers on the South Coast. Apart from the exceptional sea and mountain scenery, Vik has restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops that you can visit.

To cap off your 12-hour tour, Reynisfjara black beach, Iceland's most spectacular black sand beach, is your last stop for the day. The beach features otherworldly volcanic sands and basalt cliffs constantly pounded by the mighty waves of the Atlantic.

The tour ends with a convenient drop-off at your hotel in Reykjavik.
