Discover The Stunning South Coast Of Iceland Featuring Majestic Waterfalls And Iconic Black Sand Beaches


This journey from Reykjavik takes travelers along the magical South Coast, a route renowned for its stunning natural sights and profound historical importance. The path winds through the scenic regions of Selfoss and Hvolsvollur, where agricultural landscapes blend seamlessly with dramatic mountain ranges and expansive lava fields. This route offers a comprehensive look at the diverse geological features that define the Icelandic landscape, providing constant opportunities for photography and appreciation of the island's raw, untamed natural beauty.


The first major stop is the iconic Seljalandsfoss, a majestic waterfall that offers the unique possibility of walking directly behind the cascading water. Following this, a short hike leads to the neighboring Gljufrarbui, a hidden gem tucked away inside a mountain cavern. These waterfalls represent the power and beauty of Iceland's glacial runoff, providing visitors with an immersive experience that highlights the country's reputation as a land of fire and ice and spectacular natural wonders.


Travelers will then visit the village of Vik i Myrdal, an astonishing settlement famous for its picturesque church and breathtaking coastal views. After a lunch break in this charming village, the tour proceeds to the black sand beach of Reynisfjara. This location is one of the most significant attractions in Iceland, featuring the iconic Reynisdrangar cliffs that rise dramatically from the sea, alongside a striking basalt rock wall that serves as a perfect backdrop for photographs.


The final leg of the journey brings visitors to the Sólheimajökull glacier, where the sheer scale of the ice formation can be observed up close. Throughout the day, the guide provides essential safety information regarding the unpredictable tides at the beach and the shifting nature of the glacial terrain. This comprehensive tour ensures that guests experience the most iconic landmarks of the South Coast while maintaining a deep respect for the powerful forces of nature.

Just had a walk out the here for the first time... I've lived in Dublin for 52 years and it was my first time out to the lighthouse .. nice walk out to it a very peaceful place at 7.30 in the morning. Not much there but to see the sun rise in the best city in the world it all you need.

Nice walk, if it’s not raining and you don’t have too strong winds. The view is very nice from here.

A beautiful walk and one of Dublin’s hidden gems! The trail out to Poolbeg Lighthouse is long but peaceful, with lovely sea views and a great breeze. It’s perfect for a weekend stroll, run, or bit of quiet reflection away from the city. The bright red lighthouse at the end makes for great photos. There is a small area for free car parking. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket - it can get very windy and cold!
