Private early departure
Your guide collects you from the Reykjavík hotel or designated stop selected during booking before the long journey through South Iceland begins.

Black sand and sea stacks
See the volcanic shoreline, basalt columns and Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Follow the beach warning system and your guide’s instructions around the powerful Atlantic waves.
