See the waterfalls and black-sand beaches of the south coast

Some of Iceland's most jaw-dropping sights lie along the south coast within day-trip reach of the city, and almost all of them are free to visit. The waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, the eerie black-sand beach at Reynisfjara, and dramatic cliffs and glaciers are the stuff of postcards, with only the odd small parking fee. You can self-drive for freedom or join a day tour if you'd rather not navigate Icelandic roads yourself. We'll help you plan the route and decide between driving and a guided trip.
