The first highlight of the tour is often the majestic Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This iconic cascade plunges from a height of 60 meters (197 feet) and offers a unique feature that sets it apart from other waterfalls—the opportunity to walk behind the cascading curtain of water. As you venture behind the falls, you’ll feel the refreshing mist and witness the mesmerizing play of light and water.

Continuing the journey, the next stop is the equally enchanting Skógafoss waterfall. With its impressive 60-meter (197-foot) drop and powerful roar, Skógafoss is a true spectacle of nature’s grandeur. You’ll have the chance to climb the nearby staircase for a closer look at the falls, and if weather conditions permit, you might even be rewarded with a stunning rainbow stretching across the misty landscape.

As the tour progresses, you’ll traverse the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara, known for their dramatic and picturesque scenery. Marvel at the towering basalt columns of Reynisfjara’s cliffs and the roaring Atlantic Ocean waves crashing against the shore. Keep an eye out for the famous Reynisdrangar sea stacks, believed to be petrified trolls according to local folklore.

Another highlight of the South Coast Classic Tour Iceland is a visit to the charming village of Vík í Mýrdal. This small coastal town offers panoramic views of the surrounding cliffs and the iconic Reynisfjall mountain. Explore the village, take a leisurely stroll on the black sand beach, and soak up the serene atmosphere that characterizes this quaint Icelandic settlement.
