Description
Experience the spectacular variety of Iceland’s South Coast, where powerful waterfalls, glacier-capped volcanoes and sweeping black-sand shores create a new highlight around every bend.
The route is designed to reveal the region’s strongest scenery and most memorable viewpoints in one beautifully varied day. A private format adds a comfortable pace, personal attention and room to enjoy the views without rushing from one highlight to the next.
A Viking-age scholar joins the cultural interpretation and included meal. The guide also photographs the day, with ten edited images and an average turnaround of around fourteen days.
