About this tour

South Coast and Black sand Beach stops in the tour:

Urriðafoss

Urriðafoss is a waterfall in the Þjórsá river in South Iceland.

It is located between the villages of Selfoss and Hella. Though not incredibly tall, it is mighty with a water flow of 360 m³ (12,700 ft³) cubed per second. That's more than half the flow of Dettifoss in North Iceland, the most powerful waterfall in Europe.

Uriðafoss is a famous river for salmon fishing in the summer.

Hvolsvöllur town – A refreshment stop-

Hvolsvöllur is a small town of 950 people in south Iceland, conveniently located by the Ring Road. It is often traveled through or stopped by those exploring the South Coast or encircling the country. A great stop for refreshments.

Seljalandsfoss

Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall that can be fully encircled, situated on the South Coast of Iceland with a drop of 60 meters (200 feet).

Due to the waterfall's closeness to the Ring Road and remarkable natural features, it is one of Iceland's most popular and toured falls. Dignified and scenic, the waterfall is one of the most photographed hallmarks in all of Iceland.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall, part of the river Seljalandsá, has its origins beneath the glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The volcano underneath this ice cap was the one that erupted in 2010 and made havoc at airports all over Europe. The rapids of the falls are relatively narrow but fall from a tall cliff that once marked the country's coastline. The ocean is now found across a stretch of lowlands and is apparent from the place. Seljalandsfoss has been part of several Hollywood tv shows, for example, Star Trek: Discovery.

Gljúfrabúi

Gljúfrabúi (or Canyon Dweller) is a stunning waterfall located at Hamragarðar in South Iceland, close to its more famous match, Seljalandsfoss waterfall. It is one of the hidden pearls of the South Coast and thus an excellent spot for photographers and those seeking to admire nature in calm.

The 40 meters (131 feet) tall Gljúfrabúi is hidden behind a large cliff that faces out towards Iceland’s South Coast and the Atlantic Ocean. Because of its effective ‘hiding place,’ Gljúfrabúi is missed by most travellers, even though thousands of people visit Seljalandsfoss, less than a kilometer away, every day.
