Journey from Hella to Vík, stopping at iconic waterfalls, a glacier viewpoint, the Sólheimasandur plane wreck, and exploring the dramatic cliffs and black sand beaches.
Seljalandsfoss & Gljúfrabúi
Walk behind the powerful curtain of Seljalandsfoss, then take a short walk to find Gljúfrabúi, a beautiful waterfall hidden behind a cliff face.
Skógafoss
Marvel at the immense power of Skógafoss. Climb the 527 steps to the top for a breathtaking view or walk to its base to feel the spray.
Kvernufoss
A short, lovely walk from the Skógar museum leads to this less-visited but stunning waterfall, tucked away in a beautiful gorge you can also walk behind.
Sólheimajökull Glacier Viewpoint
Take a short walk from the parking lot to a viewpoint overlooking the rugged, ash-streaked tongue of the Sólheimajökull glacier, a part of the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap.
Sólheimasandur DC-3 Plane Wreck
Take the shuttle bus or the 4-mile (round trip) walk across the black sand desert to the iconic US Navy DC-3 plane wreck. The stark, surreal landscape is unforgettable.
Dyrhólaey Cliffs
Drive to the Dyrhólaey promontory for stunning views of the coastline, the famous rock arch, and the puffin colonies nesting in the cliffs (in season).
Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach
Visit the world-famous black sand beach, known for its incredible basalt columns, roaring Atlantic waves, and the mythical Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Be extremely cautious of sneaker waves.
