Reykjavik to Vík via Waterfalls, Glacier Views and Reynisdrangar
- Starting from Reykjavik towards Hvolsvöllur, as an option, we can visit the Lava Exhibition Center, which features an interactive exhibition exploring the art and science of geology and Iceland's volcanic systems.
- Driving onward, we will stop at Seljalandsfoss waterfall. In summer, it is possible to walk behind the waterfall, which is quite a unique experience.
- Next is the impressive Skógafoss waterfall and, as an option, the Folk Museum at Skógar.
- The next stop is the glacier Sólheimajökull before continuing to Dyrhólaey, a natural reserve and nesting colony for numerous seabirds.
- We then drive to Reynisdrangar, known for its spectacular coastline and beautiful rock formations. The promontory at Dyrhólaey is a massive natural arch carved by the relentless pounding of wind and surf, with rich birdlife. Reynisfjara, the black sand beach in Vík, is dramatic and lined with basalt columns that form the striking rock formations beside the beach.
Dinner at Vík Smiðjan Brugghús brewpub/brewery and overnight in Vík.
