From Vík, journey west along the South Coast, marveling at Dyrhólaey's coastal views and discovering the hidden Kvernufoss waterfall. Conclude your day with a final stop at Gljúfrabúi before heading to Keflavik.
Dyrhólaey
A dramatic black-sand promontory offering panoramic views of the coastline, including the famous rock arch and the vast Reynisfjara beach. Look for puffins during nesting season.
Skógafoss Waterfall
One of Iceland's largest and most beautiful waterfalls, where the Skógá River plunges 60 meters. Walk right up to the powerful cascade or climb the stairs for a different perspective.
Kvernufoss
A hidden gem, this enchanting waterfall is tucked away in a gorge, offering a unique opportunity to walk behind the cascading water. The easy 1.0 mi hike takes about 45 minutes.
Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
A unique waterfall where visitors can walk completely behind the curtain of water, offering a memorable and immersive experience. The path can be slippery, so wear appropriate footwear.
Urriðafoss
A powerful, wide waterfall on the Þjórsá River, Iceland's longest river. While not as tall as others, its sheer volume of water makes it an impressive and often overlooked stop.
Hveragerði Geothermal Park
A charming town known for its geothermal activity. Explore the park with bubbling hot springs and steam vents, and perhaps even try bread baked in the ground.
Walking distance to the terminal. Perfect for early/late flights.
