Seljalandsfoss

Seljalandsfoss & Gljufrabui Kick off your Private South Coast Tour with a visit to Seljalandsfoss and Gljufrabui, two of Iceland's most captivating waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss is renowned for its unique feature—you can walk behind the curtain of cascading water, offering a truly immersive experience. The waterfall plunges 60 meters (197 feet) over a cliff formed by volcanic activity, creating a stunning, picture-perfect scene. The surrounding path allows visitors to take in the waterfall from various angles, including from behind, making it a favorite spot for photographers. Just a short walk away is Gljufrabui, a hidden gem nestled within a narrow canyon. This lesser-known waterfall is partially obscured by the surrounding rock walls, making it a bit of a secret treasure. To reach Gljufrabui, you’ll need to wade through a shallow stream and navigate a narrow passage, but the reward is a breathtaking view of the waterfall cascading down into a moss-covered basin.

Skogafoss

The second stop on your Private South Coast Tour is the magnificent Skogafoss, one of Iceland's most iconic and powerful waterfalls. Plunging 60 meters (197 feet) over a rugged cliff, Skogafoss is renowned for its sheer size and the impressive volume of water that cascades over its edge. The waterfall is fed by the Skoga River, which originates from the glaciers of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. The constant mist created by the powerful fall often results in beautiful rainbows on sunny days, adding a magical touch to the already stunning landscape. Visitors can get up close to Skogafoss by walking right up to its base, where you can feel the spray and hear the roar of the water. For those seeking a more panoramic view, a staircase ascends to a viewing platform at the top of the waterfall, offering sweeping views of the surrounding landscape and the flat, coastal plains that stretch out to the horizon.

The third highlight of your Private South Coast Tour is Solheimarsjokull, a stunning glacier tongue extending from the larger Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Solheimarsjokull is a dramatic display of Iceland’s glacial wonders, showcasing the raw beauty and power of ice in its most spectacular form. As you approach Solheimarsjokull, you'll be struck by the contrast between the icy expanse of the glacier and the surrounding volcanic landscape. The glacier’s deep blue ice and the intricate patterns of crevasses and ice formations make for a mesmerizing sight. The ice has been sculpted by centuries of natural processes, resulting in a constantly changing landscape of ice and snow. Visitors have the opportunity to take a guided glacier walk, where you can safely explore the surface of the glacier, witness its stunning ice formations, and learn about the dynamic processes that shape these icy giants.
