Departing Kirkjubæjarklaustur, you'll journey back west, stopping at the iconic Reynisfjara black sand beach and powerful Kvernufoss before a final dinner stop in Selfoss breaks up the drive to Reykjavik.
Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach
Walk along the stunning black volcanic sands, marvel at the basalt column formations (Garðar), and observe the powerful Atlantic waves crashing ashore. Be mindful of sneaker waves.
Dyrhólaey
Experience panoramic views from this dramatic promontory, featuring a massive natural arch and towering cliffs. It's a prime spot for birdwatching, especially puffins in summer.
Kvernufoss
Discover the hidden gem of Kvernufoss, a beautiful waterfall tucked away in a gorge. A short, easy hike leads you behind the cascade for a unique perspective, often less crowded than other falls.
Gljúfrabúi
Discover this hidden gem, a waterfall tucked away inside a narrow canyon. Wade through a shallow stream to enter the magical cave-like enclosure and witness the falls up close.
Dinner Stop in Selfoss
Break up the final leg of your drive with a relaxing dinner in Selfoss, a vibrant town on the banks of the Ölfusá river, before continuing to Reykjavik.
