Tour Plan
1 Pick up at Cruise Terminal
We will pick you up at the Cruise Terminal in Reykjavík.
Other pick-up point on request.
2 Hveragerði
The small town of Hveragerði is located in a tectonically very active area. There are numerous hot springs in and around the city, which are used, among other things, to heat the numerous greenhouses.
There will be a stop at the local shopping center. There you can see a fissure that was created during an earthquake.
Hveragerði is possible as a start point of the Tour. We also pick-up from Accommodations in the area.
3 Selfoss, Hella & Hvólsvöllur
The city of Selfoss is the largest non-seaside city in Iceland and is the regional center of southern Iceland.
The bus travels over the suspension bridge over the Ölfusá River and on the ring road that runs through the town eastwards through the small town of Hella and on to Hvólsvöllur.
4 Seljalandsfoss
The 60m high Seljalandsfoss waterfall has the special feature that you can walk around it on a path.
5 Skógafoss
At the 60m high Skógafoss waterfall you can get very close to the cascading water, but you should wear good rain gear.
Maybe you'll even be brave enough to try to find the chest full of gold that the Viking Þrasi Þórólfsson is said to have hidden behind the waterfall.
Skógafoss is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland and has served as a backdrop in many films and series.
6 Sólheimajökull
The Sólheimajökull glacier tongue is part of the mighty Mýrdalsjökull glacier and is partly colored black by the ash from past volcanic eruptions.
The glacier tongue has become extremely smaller in recent years due to global warming, by more than a kilometer in the last 10 years alone.
7 Dyrhólaey
Dyrhólaey (Keyhole Island) is the southernmost mainland point of Iceland and rises up to 115m above sea level.
In the summer months you can observe various species of seabirds here, including the cute puffins.
The striking large hole in one of the rocks gave the silted former island its name.
From the upper level near the lighthouse you have a great panoramic view over the black beaches and the landscape with the two glacial volcanoes Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull.
8Reynisfjara
The black stone beach at Reynisfjara with the Reynisdrangar rocks in front, which according to legend is a petrified troll ship, is a worthwhile stop with the striking basalt columns and the cave.
However, you have to be careful of the monster waves that occur here, which can unexpectedly come much higher up the beach. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to the existing warning lights and associated warning signs.
