Kvernufoss - Nestled in a narrow gorge near the well-known Skógar area, Kvernufoss is one of Iceland’s hidden treasures.

Rutshellir Cave - Rútshellir is an intriguing man-made cave carved into a rugged hillside near the village of Skógar. Thought to date back to the Viking Age or early settlement period, this turf-covered cave is rich in legend and was likely used for storage or shelter.
Its distinctive construction and the folklore surrounding it—such as stories of outlaws or early Christian worship—make Rútshellir a captivating stop for history buffs. Quiet and seldom crowded, it offers a brief yet meaningful glimpse into Iceland’s distant past, just a short distance from the popular attractions of the South Coast. -
Solheimajokull Glacier - Sólheimajökull is a remarkable outlet glacier extending from the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap in South Iceland. Its rugged surface of crevasses, ice ridges, and ash-streaked formations presents a dramatic and ever-evolving landscape shaped by volcanic and glacial forces.
Easily accessible and favored for guided glacier hikes, Sólheimajökull offers a rare chance to experience the raw power of Iceland’s ice up close. Whether trekking across its frozen surface or simply admiring it from the base, the glacier provides an unforgettable glimpse into the island’s wild and icy heart. -
Black Sand Beach - Víkurfjara is a stunning black sand beach located just beside the village of Vík, offering dramatic coastal views with towering cliffs, basalt columns, and the iconic Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the ocean. Often overshadowed by nearby Reynisfjara, this beach offers a quieter, more tranquil alternative without sacrificing the raw beauty of Iceland’s southern shoreline.
With its moody atmosphere, thundering waves, and breathtaking geological formations, Víkurfjara is an ideal stop for those seeking the powerful allure of Iceland’s coastline—without the crowds. It’s a perfect blend of accessibility and seclusion, right at the edge of one of Iceland’s southernmost towns. -
Lava Show - The Lava Show in Vík provides a unique experience where you can witness real molten lava flowing just meters away in a safe, indoor setting. This award-winning attraction recreates a miniature volcanic eruption using actual lava, bringing Iceland’s fiery geology to life before your eyes.
With expert storytelling, dramatic visuals, and intense heat you can feel, the Lava Show is both thrilling and educational. It’s a perfect addition to your South Coast journey, offering a deeper understanding of the volcanic forces that shape Iceland—without ever stepping onto a crater.
