Experience the magic of Iceland’s South Coast on this unforgettable day trip from Reykjavik. Discover dramatic landscapes, iconic sights, and the power of nature, including a guided glacier hike on Sólheimajökull.

The highlight is exploring Sólheimajökull, an ever-changing outlet glacier shaped by Iceland’s volcanic forces. Equipped with crampons, harness, helmet, and ice axe, you’ll explore the glacier’s icy surface, deep crevasses, and striking formations while your certified guide shares insights into this remarkable environment.

Visit the stunning Seljalandsfoss waterfall and, conditions permitting, walk behind the cascading water. Continue to Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, where volcanic sands, Atlantic waves, basalt columns, and Reynisdrangar sea stacks create one of Iceland’s most dramatic coastlines.

Return to Reykjavik with unforgettable memories from an authentic Icelandic adventure filled with nature and discovery.
