11/1/2022: Iceland South Coast Tour w/ Most Beautiful Black Sand Beach, Waterfalls and Glacier

My best day in Iceland visiting the most beautiful waterfalls and beach I have ever seen.
All in 1 day, from 8:30am to 6:30pm. We visited:
1/ Skogafoss: An archetypal waterfall, Skógafoss is one of the most beautiful and tallest waterfalls in Ice-land. There is a staircase leading to a viewing platform for the waterfall and surrounding areas. The platform gives you an expansive view of the south coast, Eyjafjallajökull and Skógafoss. NOTE: the restrooms are behind a paywall and entry costs ISK 200 / USD 2.

2/ Solheimajokull Glacier: Sólheimajökull is a glacier tongue, an offshoot off of the main body of Mýrdalsjökull glacier. We walk towards Sólheimajökull, through the valley it has carved out of the mountain scape and along the glacier river it forms at its base. The valley is a chaotic collection of rocks, gravel and sand which the tongue ground down as it passed over the land. The glacier is unlike others as it is striped with layers of ash crushed between seasonal layers of ice, but the glacier is surrounded by multiple active volcanic stations. NOTE: the restrooms are be-hind a paywall and entry costs ISK 300 / USD 2.5, credit cards ok.

3/ Reynisfjara Beach: Reynisfjara, or the Black Sand Beach, is truly a natural marvel. The site offers beautiful basalt columns, a natural arc viewed from afar, troll-like sea stacks and during the summer season there are thousands of puffins which make the cliffs of the Black Sand Beach their home. We do both sightseeing and the lunch break there. The restaurant overlooks the South Coast and offers bites suitable for any palate and diet. Restrooms are free
Vik: 15 mins - short photo stop at the photogenic village of Vík. We stop by the town's church where the troll-like basalt stacks and the village provide the perfect background for a selfie.

4/ Seljalandsfoss: The famous waterfall one you can walk behind. Be careful you might get wet :) This unique waterfall flows from the infamous glacier Eyjafjallajökull, the molten-syllables-which nobody can pronounce good for nothing volcanic glacier that stopped all the air traffic over the North-Atlantic back in 2010. At Seljalandsfoss there are restrooms, a food stall and a small gift shop. The restrooms are free of charge.
Thanks to mother nature giving us a beautiful sunny day and to Otto from Your Day Tours (booked through Viator) and for making it possible.
