Southeast and South Iceland

Iceland is a land of breathtaking landscapes and natural wonders, and nowhere is this more evident than in the stunning region of Southern Iceland. The 200km long section of the Golde Circle road between Kirkjubæjarklaustur and Höfn goes through giant deltas made from glacial sand. With its dramatic waterfalls, rugged glaciers, and black sand beaches, Southern Iceland offers an unparalleled destination for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers.

One of the iconic attractions in Southern Iceland is the magnificent Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This towering cascade allows visitors to walk behind the curtain of water for a truly immersive experience. Nearby, you'll find Skogafoss, another spectacular waterfall that plunges into a picturesque riverbed. Hiking along the Fimmvorduhals Trail between these two waterfalls offers panoramic views of the surrounding glaciers and mountains.

For a unique adventure, head to the Sólheimajökull Glacier, part of the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. Embark on a glacier hike or a thrilling ice climbing excursion, where you can navigate the stunning blue ice formations and crevasses. Discover the raw power of nature as you explore this icy wonderland.

Another must-visit destination in Southern Iceland is the otherworldly black sand beach of Reynisfjara. With its towering basalt columns and roaring Atlantic waves, this beach is a sight to behold. Explore the nearby Dyrhólaey cliffs, a haven for birdwatchers and a prime spot for panoramic coastal views.

The breathtaking landscapes continue in the Vatnajökull National Park, home to Europe's largest glacier. Embark on a glacier hike on the Skaftafellsjökull or explore the stunning Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where you can witness icebergs floating gracefully in the glacial lake. Take a boat tour to get up close to these shimmering ice formations and experience the tranquility of this icy wonderland.

For adrenaline junkies, Southern Iceland offers thrilling activities such as glacier kayaking, ATV adventures, and snowmobiling on Langjökull Glacier. Discover hidden gems and remote landscapes as you embark on off-road excursions and explore the untouched wilderness.

Southern Iceland is a true paradise for adventure holidays and outdoor enthusiasts. From jaw-dropping waterfalls and breathtaking glaciers to mystical black sand beaches and geothermal wonders, this region will leave you in awe of the raw beauty of nature.
