Reynisfjara Beach Tours and Activities

For the ultimate day trip from Reykjavík, visit the south coast’s black-sand beaches and towering waterfalls, then go hiking or ice climbing on Sólheimajökull glacier. The activities can be customized for a more challenging or relaxed experience, depending on your interests. You’ll travel with an experienced guide in a rugged Jeep that allows you to access more terrain. Your tour includes visits to two waterfalls: Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, a spin down the beach on the North Atlantic Ocean, and time for hiking or ice climbing at Sólheimajökull glacier.

For three hours take you on a ride to explore the volcanic region east of Vík called Mydalssandur in a massive Mercedes Sprinter Super Jeep. Myrdalssandur is a flood plain and sand desert created by the massive water outbursts that come down from the glacier when Katla underneath it blows. You are gonna find out more about the volcanic history in this area, hear famous Icelandic stories told over generations, learn about the wildlife in this area and see where some parts of Star Wars: Rogue One were shot. The landscape impresses with picturesque views that are ideal to take great photos. We are gonna visit the glacier and its ash layers in the ice. If conditions allow it we even take a look inside the ice cave (usually this is however only possible in the winter). On the way back we visit an old sea cave where lots of birds and different plants can be spotted and enjoy an empty black sand beach.

Avoid crowds and the hassle of traveling in a large group. This private tour offers a more personalized experience of Iceland's stunning south coast. Visit the waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss; the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, and Sólheimajökull glacier.
