South Coast Highlights & Sólheimasandur Plane Wreck Tour
Discover some of Iceland's most iconic natural attractions on this full-day South Coast adventure from Reykjavík. Travel through a landscape of volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, black sand beaches, and dramatic sea cliffs while exploring the region's most famous sights.
After pickup in Reykjavík, journey along Iceland's scenic South Coast to the powerful Skógafoss waterfall, where a 60-metre cascade plunges over ancient sea cliffs. Continue to the world-famous Reynisfjara black sand beach, known for its striking basalt columns, towering sea stacks, and powerful Atlantic waves.
Next, head to Sólheimasandur, a vast black sand outwash plain, where you'll take a shuttle to visit the famous DC-3 plane wreck. Resting in the volcanic desert since 1973, the aircraft creates one of Iceland's most unique and photogenic landscapes.
The adventure continues to the charming village of Vík, where you'll stop at the hilltop church overlooking the coastline before visiting Dýrhólaey, a dramatic sea arch and clifftop viewpoint offering spectacular views of black sand beaches, sea stacks, and the surrounding coastline.
You'll also stop at the Sólheimajökull glacier viewpoint, where you can admire the outlet glacier extending from the mighty Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. On the return journey to Reykjavík, visit the beautiful Seljalandsfoss waterfall, famous for the pathway that allows visitors to walk behind the cascading water during suitable conditions.
