What To Expect

Skogafoss

The waterfall is a breathtaking 60 m (197 ft) tall and 25 m (82 ft) wide, dropping in a near-perfect curtain into the thundering pool below. You’ll stroll up to the base where the mist will warm your face and rainbows frequently dance in the spray.Feel free to hop off the main path and get closer (with waterproof clothing, of course) — the experience is both sensory and unforgettable. A 528-step wooden stairway leads to a viewing platform at the top. From there: Enjoy panoramic vistas of the waterfall from above. Spot the river winding through green Icelandic lowlands toward the far-off coast. Catch glimpses of nesting seabirds along the cliffs above. Summer (June–August): Midnight sun means long hours of golden light and vibrant greens.Autumn (September–October): Fiery foliage reflected in the river’s glassy pools.Winter (November–March): The waterfall partially freezes, creating enchanting ice formations — dress warmly!

Seljalandsfoss

As you approach, you’ll see Seljalandsfoss cascading down from ancient sea cliffs into a serene green meadow. Its ethereal beauty makes it one of the most photographed waterfalls in Iceland — and for good reason. This is one of the very few waterfalls in the world you can walk behind. A narrow trail leads you through a small cave-like opening behind the rushing curtain of water — an exhilarating experience you’ll never forget.Feel the cool mist on your face.Capture unique 360° photos.Hear the powerful thunder of the water from inside. (We provide rain gear and waterproof covers to keep you dry!).Stroll along the adjacent walking path to discover hidden gems like Gljúfrabúi, a secret waterfall tucked inside a cliff just a few minutes' walk north.! Whether you're a professional photographer or just snapping for Instagram, this is your golden hour dream. Rainbows often appear in the mist on sunny days, and during the midnight sun, it’s pure magic.

Reynisfjara Beach

Step onto a beach unlike any other in the world — where the sand is jet black, the waves thunder in from the Atlantic, and giant basalt columns rise like ancient cathedrals. What You’ll Do & See: Walk along the volcanic black sands created by cooled lava over thousands of years. Marvel at the towering basalt column cliffs (known as Reynisdrangar), which resemble organ pipes sculpted by nature. Watch the powerful Atlantic waves crash onto shore — thrilling to witness, and a reminder of Iceland’s raw power. Spot Reynisdrangar sea stacks — dramatic rock formations offshore, tied to Icelandic folklore about trolls turned to stone. Capture striking photos and videos, especially under moody skies or golden light. ⚠️ Safety first: Your guide will explain the “sneaker waves” and help you safely enjoy this powerful environment. A short drive from Reynisfjara takes you to Dyrhólaey, a cliff-top viewpoint offering sweeping vistas of Iceland’s south coast.
