The programme

While comfortably seated on our coach, we go on a sightseeing tour of the southern Atlantic coast characterised by a series of steep mountains, spectacular glaciers, gurgling rivers and waterfalls and amazing rural landscape where nature reigns supreme.
We drive along the Hellisheidi lava plateau, location of the third largest geothermal energy station in the world, and descend towards the most fertile cultivated territory in the country.
We pass by the town of Hveragerdi, which lies on top of an ancient magma chamber and cross the Thjorsa and Ranga rivers (the former is the longest in the country), where fishermen spend entire days catching the salmon swimming in the crystal-clear waters.
We stop at the Seljalandsfoss waterfall which we can admire from multiple sides thanks to the path reaching the top and passing behind the waterfall.
We continue as far as the magnificent Skógafoss waterfall, surrounded by lush greenery and often crowned by a single or double rainbow that adds to its charm.
We reach the black beach of Reynisfjara: its dark-coloured pebbles, volcanic sand and tall basalt columns are the perfect source of inspiration for all nature and photography lovers. Two stone stacks drop majestically into the sea and are a preferred nesting destination for many bird species.
On our way back to Reykjavík, we stop over at the LAVA - Iceland Volcano and Earthquake Centre, a state-of-the-art facility with a high-tech interactive exhibition illustrating the birth and development of one of the largest volcanic islands in the world.
