Highlights
- ✓Explore Iceland's south coast without the hassle of driving
- ✓Check off plenty of the area's highlights in just one day
- ✓Go beyond the guidebooks with expert insights from your guide
- ✓Get back to Reykjavik in time for dinner in the city
What you'll see & do
- ✓Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes, and was for centuries believed to be the entrance to hell.
- ✓Visit Skogafoss waterfall. This is a picturesque 200-foot (60-meter) tall, broad and powerful waterfall, and due to its striking appearance it is frequently used in movies and commercials. You can get close enough to feel the spray from the falls on your face and, if you like, then climb a stairway leading to the top of the falls allowing you a view from above.
- ✓Stroll along the black sand and pebble beach of Reynisfjara. The beach features stacks of basalt columns that wall off surrounding cliffs scattered with caves.

- ✓Here we stop at a local restaurant for a lunch break at your own expense.
