Glacier Hike, South Iceland Waterfalls & Black Sand Beach

Glacier hike with photos, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, Reynisfjara black sand beach, One-day South Iceland small-group tour

Join us on a day trip from Reykjavik to the stunning south coast of Iceland—a land where nature’s beauty shines in every view. Your adventure begins as you travel through wide, open landscapes and winding roads that lead you to some of Iceland’s most cherished sights.

Your first stop tp stand before Skógafoss, a mighty waterfall. Its powerful cascade and refreshing spray will leave you in awe of nature’s strength. The highlight of your day is a guided glacier hike on Sólheimajökull. With all the necessary gear provided—crampons, harness, helmet, and ice axe—you will step onto a sparkling world of ice. As you walk across the glacier, there will be stops where you can take pictures of the amazing ice formations, deep crevasses, and endless icy views. Every step brings a new sight and a feeling of wonder as you explore this frozen terrain.

The journey continues to Reynisfjara, a black-sand beach known around the world. Here, tall basalt columns and striking rock formations rise from the shore, set against the vast blue Atlantic Ocean. Take a moment to soak in the peaceful sound of the waves and the beauty of the unique landscape.

The last highlights of the day is the famous Seljalandsfoss waterfall that lets you walk behind its flowing water. Feel the cool mist and enjoy a view that is both rare and magical. 

Along the way, you’ll pass steep cliffs, gentle farmlands, and volcanic lands that tell the story of Iceland’s wild side. The natural beauty and strong forces of nature fill your day with unforgettable moments.

By the end of your journey, you’ll return to Reykjavik with a heart full of warm memories and a mind brimming with adventure.

This trip offers the perfect mix of excitement and calm—a day to feel the power of waterfalls and the peaceful charm of a glacier and a black-sand beach.

Join us and let the magic of Iceland’s south coast inspire you with every step.
