What To Expect

Urridafoss Waterfall

Urriðafoss is a powerful and wide waterfall on the Þjórsá River, Iceland’s longest river. Surrounded by peaceful lowland scenery, this hidden gem offers a raw and unfiltered experience of Icelandic nature without the usual crowds. Though often overlooked in favor of more famous waterfalls on the South Coast, Urriðafoss is one of Iceland’s most voluminous falls. Its thunderous flow and expansive cascade make it a remarkable stop for those seeking something off the beaten path.

Kvernufoss

Tucked away in a narrow gorge near the popular Skógar area, Kvernufoss is one of Iceland’s hidden gems. Much like its famous neighbor Seljalandsfoss, it offers the rare and magical experience of walking behind the waterfall, with misty views and a thunderous curtain of water above. Despite being just a short walk from the main road, Kvernufoss remains blissfully uncrowded thanks to its discreet setting. Its peaceful surroundings and dramatic beauty make it a perfect stop for those looking to enjoy the South Coast’s natural wonders away from the tourist rush.

Solheimajokull Glacier

Sólheimajökull is a striking outlet glacier that extends from the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap in South Iceland. Its rugged surface of crevasses, ice ridges, and ash-streaked formations offers a dramatic and ever-changing landscape shaped by volcanic and glacial forces. Easily accessible and popular for guided glacier hikes, Sólheimajökull provides a rare opportunity to experience the raw power of Iceland’s ice up close. Whether you're trekking across its frozen surface or simply admiring it from the base, the glacier offers an unforgettable glimpse into the island’s wild and icy heart.

Vikurfjara Black Sand Beach

Víkurfjara is a striking black sand beach located just beside the village of Vík, offering dramatic coastal views with towering cliffs, basalt columns, and the iconic Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the ocean. Often overshadowed by nearby Reynisfjara, this beach provides a quieter, more peaceful alternative without sacrificing the raw beauty of Iceland’s southern shoreline. With its moody atmosphere, thundering waves, and stunning geological formations, Víkurfjara is an ideal stop for those seeking the powerful charm of Iceland’s coastline—without the crowds. It’s a perfect blend of accessibility and seclusion, right at the edge of one of Iceland’s southernmost towns.
