Absorb the South Coast & ATV Adventure on Black Beaches.

The 62 m (203 ft) high majestic waterfall Seljalandsfoss is fed by spring water originating in the moor Hamragarðaheiði and is part of the river Seljalandsá. Many think it is fed with melting water from the glacier-capped Eyjafjallajökull, a volcano that famously erupted in 2010 and affected air traffic throughout Europe, but the water in Seljalandsfoss is bright and clean due to it being spring water. It cascades into a beautiful meadow, like a curtain over a tall cliff that once marked a coastline by the ocean before eruptions extended the land, and behind the waterfall is a walking path for a unique angle of the waterfall and its surroundings. This trail continues from behind the waterfall and around it. The picturesque Seljalandsfoss is among the most photographed waterfalls in Iceland for a reason. For instance, it was featured in Justin Bieber's music video I'll Show You and was the first leg of the sixth season of the American series The Amazing Race.

Be sure to wear shoes with a good grip if you plan on walking behind Seljalandsfoss as it can be slippery, and wear waterproof clothing due to the spraying from the waterfall.

Skógafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland dropping 60 m (197 ft) off an eroded cliff with an astounding width of 25 m (82 ft) and up to 30 m (98 ft) after heavy rain. It is located on the river Skógá which flows from under Eyjafjallajökull, a glacier-capped volcano that last erupted in 2010. In that eruption, Skógafoss became grey from all the ash blowing into the Skógá river. Skógafoss produces a great amount of spray so on sunny days, you may see a rainbow forming, some days even a double rainbow. Underneath the waterfall the land is flat, making it easy to walk right up to it, but make note you may get wet from the spraying. If you're up for it you can also view Skógafoss from the top since a 527 step staircase leads up to an observation platform above it with an amazing view of the coastline. The cliff on which Skógafoss cascades marks the former coastline of the south coast. This magnificent waterfall has been featured in various popular culture; the music videos Fjara by Sólstafir in 2012 and I'll Show You by Justin Bieber in 2015, the 2013 films Thor: The Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and the TV series Vikings (season 5) and Game of Thrones (season 8).

Skógafoss is within the tiny village of Skógar with a population of about 25 people, and the Skógar Regional Museum is close to the waterfall, featuring over 18,000 regional artifacts in six historical buildings. It's three museums in one which show how Icelanders have lived throughout history; an open-air museum with old wooden houses and turf houses, a folk museum with a cultural heritage collection, and a technical museum showing the evolution of transport, communication, and technology in Iceland. In the folk museum is a noteworthy golden handle that is said to be from a chest filled with gold, owned by the settler Þrasi Þórolfsson who hid the chest behind Skógafoss before his death around AD 900. Attempts were made by many to retrieve it until one day a rope was fixed to the handle to pull the chest out but the handle broke off, leaving the gold-filled chest lost forever. That handle served as a door handle on the Skógakirkja church till 1890.

The beautiful Reynisfjara black sand beach is among the most popular visits in southern Iceland. The unusually black sanded beach with rough ocean waves hitting against the basalt-columned wall makes for a spectacular attraction and in 2021 it was rated by Big 7 Travel as the 6th best beach to visit on their annual list of The 50 Best Beaches In The World, highlighting must-see beaches. Reynisfjara can be very dangerous with its powerful ocean waves and rockfalls from the cliffs due to coastal erosion. Both can often be very unexpected and tragically fatal accidents have happened there throughout the years. It may be tempting to have a picture taken after climbing up onto the basalt columns, but people have been surprised by a sudden "sneaker wave" snatching them and the undertow pulling them out to sea. Nothing can be done if this happens so there's no turning back after that. The waves can look calm, but close to shore the ocean is extremely deep so the waves are almost unbroken when they reach the beach. The beach itself being steep makes the backwash very strong with a pulling force. Be extremely cautious and please admire these forces of nature at a good distance.

Reynisdrangar is a collection of 66 m (216 ft) high basalt sea pinnacles rising out of the sea by Reynisfjara. An old tale says they originate from when two trolls tried dragging a three-masted ship to land at night, but when daylight broke they along with the ship became these stacks of pinnacles standing out in the sea. Reynisdrangar is the same geological formation as the 340 m (1,115 ft) high mountain Reynisfjall hovering over them. This mountain is made of volcanic tuff from an eruption under a glacier in the penultimate Ice Age, with irregular layers of tuff, pillow lava, and veins and loops of columnar basalt. The mountainsides are steep and by the beach, these beautiful formations of basalt columns can be seen. It is the nesting site of puffins and other sea birds, so please do not try to climb up to them so as not to disturb them. Basalt columns are a great inspiration for Hallgrímskirkja church, Þjóðleikhúsið (e. The National Theatre of Iceland), and Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center. In the southern part of Reynisfjara by the beach is Hálsanefshellir, an extremely beautiful basalt cave. Please only try going into it when there's a low tide so the waves don't pull you out, and be aware that rocks can suddenly fall.

You may recognize this area from the Icelandic Netflix series Katla, the 7th season of the series Game of Thrones, the 2013 film Star Trek: Into Darkness, and the 2014 film Noah.

This tour begins after you meet your ATV guide at the base by Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Before venturing to ride on Iceland's iconic black beaches, you will receive all the necessary gear and a short safety briefing. The guide will lead the group to the stunning coastline to witness breathtaking views of the surrounding area. You’ll marvel at the views of Dyrhólaey, a peninsula that is the southernmost tip of the country, and the marvelous Mýrdalsjökull glacier in the distance. After leaving the beach, the group will head to the famous DC3 plane wreck on Sólheimasandur. This relic has been resting in the sand since 1973. Following the plane, you will drive to the Jökulsá river and up the foot of the mountain. This action-packed tour ends when you arrive back at the base.

Please note: A valid driver’s license is required to drive a quad bike. Single riders and groups with odd numbers are required to book a single-ride ATV.
