Experience Iceland’s fire and ice as you travel along the south coast. The day starts at the Seljalandsfoss waterfall that you can walk behind in summer. Then it’s onto the thunderous Skógafoss waterfall. Before long you are at one of the highlights of the day in the town of Vík, the Icelandic Lava Show! You will feel the heat of the volcano, with re-melted lava rocks being poured over ice just meters from where you are sitting. This educational indoor show will teach you all about the 1918 Katla Eruption and the harrowing tales that the locals had to endure. As we drive back towards Reykjavík, you will then stop at the Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach with its angular basalt columns and crashing waves. The final stop of the day is at the ever-changing Sólheimajökull glacier, where you will take an easy valley walk to a safe viewpoint, while learning all about the glacier’s journey over the centuries. You’ll be back to Reykjavík in time for you to have a late dinner in the city.
