The South Coast
Waterfalls, black beaches and glaciers
Discover some of the island’s biggest waterfalls and most stunning landscapes. This day trip from Reykjavik hits all the highlights, including glaciers, black sand beaches and the majestic Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. We recommend it as the best day to explore the South of Iceland.
