This tour is recommended for all who wish to see the mighty waterfall Seljalandsfoss and the south coast with its stunning scenery. Among many other things the famous Hekla volcano could be seen looming on the horizon. Lasting impressions include black beaches of volcanic sand containing pebbles of all sizes washed shiny clean of a stormy sea, spectacular rock formations and more. The museum in Skógar (where, moreover, the poet Matthias Jochumsson who 1874 wrote the text for Lofsöngur: Icelands national anthem, was born in 1835) was very much worth seeing with its many objects from earlier times. The old man who over the years collected all these things imparted many interesting facts about the objects and their history. During the trip the friendly and very knowledgeable guide also told us on various phenomena in Iceland.

Vimos dos cascadas heladas preciosas. Es algo único. Muy recomendable. La única pega es que estás bastante tiempo en el autobús, y además nos hizo un tiempo regular, con lo que no pudimos ver la costa sur. No obstante, lo recomiendo.

This tour was a great way to see the beautiful landscape in Iceland! Even though it was snowy and very windy, the tour still ran and we it to see some amazing waterfalls! The village of Vik was a great stop too. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgable.

Although the weather wasn't fortunate, the tour itself was a success. Plenty to see with good introductions. In Vik there was maybe more to see than our timetable allowed, but it was so as we decided to take some lunch that took time. We missed those smaller cities (Eyrarbakki /Stokkseyri) perhaps because the schedule, but I believe those could've been worth of visiting. But glad that the most important ones were visited and not to mention the visit to one of the glaciers which was a total bonus outside the description! Thank you for the great tour.
