Continue to Skógafoss waterfall to watch the Skógá River fall 60 meters at the powerful cascades. After seeing three stunning waterfalls comes time to walk on the worlds-famous Black Sand Beach of Reynisfjara. Dark volcanic sands stretch as far as the eye can see, with mighty Atlantic waves crashing into the Reynisdrangar, fingers of volcanic rock that tower into the sky just offshore.

On that day you will also stop by a traditional turf church and take another look at basalt columns when having a refreshment break in the village of Vik.

This tour was honestly fantastic!! A serious must when visiting Iceland. It is a long day but so worth it. This was our last day in Iceland and it was our favourite. We were worried about seeing everything in daylight as there is only a few hours in the winter but it is organised so well. The waterfalls were amazing, the Glacier wow and the black beach was beautiful. We also got stuck in the snow for an hour and that experience was quite funny- everyone got out of the bus to dig it out and push. Mia was great, she even pointed out the northern lights (which we hadn’t seen all trip) and stopped the bus. Ending the day in the sky garden was out of this world, such a lovely place, beer in hand, warm and with the northern lights above us!!! Just perfect.

This tour is a must, although we had a few problems… bus getting stuck in the snow. It was still amazing! It would’ve been better to get longer in the Sky Lagoon but due to weather the tour overrun and and we didn’t get as long as we would’ve wanted. Karolina the guide was very good and informative. Would highly recommend this tour to others! The black sand beach is amazing.

My guide, Hinrik from Troll Expeditions made the trip so fun and memorable. Despite bad weather and him falling sick, he always found something to make up for it and keeping us all safe. o definitely recommend this tour if you want adventure and seeing most of Iceland.

We went on the south coast and sky lagoon tour on Monday 13th February. Alan was our guide, he was brilliant, his knowledge on the history of Iceland was amazing, he also gave tips of where to eat in Reykjavik. We had a fantastic day despite the weather!

It was organized well and the guides were wonderful. Loved the locations and time was sufficient at every stop. Accommodations were good.
