10-Hour Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss and Black Beach Small-Group Day Tour

This 10-hour small-group day tour covers Iceland's south coast in a minibus with a driver-guide who stays with the group at every stop. The route heads out of Reykjavik through Hveragerdi, Selfoss and Hella before reaching the waterfalls: Seljalandsfoss, where summer visitors can walk behind the 60-metre fall, and Gljufrabui, a hidden one that most visitors miss. Skogafoss comes next, another 60-metre drop that often throws up rainbows in its spray, with a path to the top of the falls. At Solheimajokull, an outlet of the Myrdalsjokull glacier, the group gets close to the ice. A 1.5-hour guided glacier hike with all safety equipment can be added between April and October, though it may be cancelled for weather or safety reasons; other activities replace it where possible, and otherwise a partial refund is given. The day ends at Reynisfjara black sand beach, with basalt columns against the cliffs, Atlantic waves on volcanic sand and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks offshore. The Dyrholaey arches can be seen in the distance. Hotel pickup and drop-off, Wi-Fi on board and an English-speaking driver-guide are included; food and drinks are not. Bring warm, wind and waterproof clothes and good hiking shoes. Minimum age is 10, up to 15 travelers per booking, and a moderate level of fitness is expected.
