Itinerary

Hveragerdi

Some like it hot! Located 45 kilometers (28 mi) east from Reykjavik, Hveragerdi is the charming gateway town to South Iceland that is set in a large geothermal area and is often referred to as the ‘flower village,’ because of the many greenhouses there.
Selfoss

Selfoss town has been rapidly growing for the last few years, much faster than the national average. It is within a one-hour drive of all Iceland’s major nature attractions in the south, including the Golden Circle wonders and the South Coast waterfalls and black sand beaches.
Seljalandsfoss waterfall

45 min

Seljalandsfoss is one of the best-known waterfalls in Iceland. It is approx. 60 meters tall and it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Dyrholaey

40 min Admission included

The Dyrhólaey Peninsula is a 120-metre promenade famed for its staggering views of Iceland’s South Coast, as well as its historic lighthouse and wealth of birdlife. It is home to a rock arch of the same name.
Reynisfjara Beach

1 h 30 min Admission included

Reynisfjara is a world-famous black-sand beach found on the South Coast of Iceland, just beside Vik í Myrdal, which is the southernmost village on the mainland of Iceland.
Solheimajokull Glacier

50 min Admission included

Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier of the mighty icecap of Mýrdalsjökull on the South Coast of Iceland. It is one of the most easily accessible glaciers to reach from Reykjavík, just 158 kilometers (98 miles) away.
Skogafoss

45 min Admission included

Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of some 60 meters and a width of 25 meters. You can walk right up to it but be prepared to be drenched. It is overwhelming standing next to it.
Vik Church

15 min

Vík í Mýrdal is a picturesque village on Iceland’s south coast, known for its black sand beaches, basalt columns, and Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Nestled between the Mýrdalsjökull glacier and the Atlantic Ocean, it’s a popular stop for travelers exploring the South Coast, offering scenic views from its hilltop church and puffin watching in summer.
