Seljalandsfoss
Walk behind one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls as it plunges 200 feet (60 meters) into a misty pool. The path gives unique photo angles- bring a rain jacket because you will get sprayed. In winter, access behind the falls may close due to ice.

Gljúfrabúi Waterfall
A short walk from Seljalandsfoss, this “hidden” waterfall pours into a mossy slot canyon. Step on river stones to enter the gorge for a dramatic close-up- waterproof shoes recommended.
Skógafoss Waterfall
A classic, thunderous curtain of water- 82 feet wide (25 meters) and 200 feet (60 meters) high. Climb the staircase for sweeping views from the top; on sunny days, rainbows often arc through the mist.

Sólheimajökull Glacier
See an outlet of the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap, with blue ice streaked by volcanic ash. A flat trail leads to the glacier viewpoint; optional guided glacier hikes are available (not included).


Vík Village
A charming seaside town with views of the Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Visit the hilltop church for postcard-worthy panoramas and stop for lunch or coffee (own expense).


Reynisfjara Beach (Black Sand Beach)
Marvel at basalt columns, sea caves, and powerful Atlantic surf on Iceland’s most famous black-sand beach. Safety first: keep well back from the waterline and never turn your back on the waves—sneaker waves are common.
