Superjeep South Coast

The South Coast tour is a must-see for nature enthusiasts who want to experience Iceland's stunning scenery. The tour takes visitors along  the south coast of Iceland, which is one of the country's most  picturesque regions, all the way to the charming village of Vík,  surrounded by towering bird cliffs.

South Iceland is known for its flat terrain, which makes it one of the few places in Iceland  suitable for grain farming. The high mountains to the north provide  shelter from the harshest winds from the north.

The tour includes  visits to several famous natural landmarks, such as the breathtaking  Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss is part of the  Seljalandsá river, which originates from the Eyjafjallajökull glacier.  This waterfall is unique in that visitors can walk behind it. However,  it is recommended to bring a raincoat or waterproof coat. Skógafoss is  another famous waterfall and the starting point for the Fimmvörðuháls  hike over to Þórsmörk. It has also been used as a filming location for  movies such as Thor: The Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

The  tour also includes a visit to the stunning Reynisfjara black sand  beach, which features the Reynisdrangar rock formations and columnar  basalt. This beach is one of Iceland's most magnificent beaches but can  be quite dangerous due to powerful sneaker waves. Visitors are kindly  asked to follow all safety guidelines and not get too close to the  ocean.

Dyrhólaey is a stunning natural landmark that is popular with  tourists visiting the area. The name Dyrhólaey means "door hole island"  and refers to the massive arch that was carved by the ocean through the  headland. The arch is quite dramatic and offers breathtaking views of  the surrounding black sand beaches, rock formations, and the Atlantic  Ocean.

In addition to the arch, Dyrhólaey is also known for its  lighthouse, which was built in 1910 and stands on top of the promontory  at an elevation of 120 meters. The lighthouse offers panoramic views of  the coastline and the surrounding area.

Dyrhólaey is also home to  a large population of seabirds, including puffins, which can be seen  nesting on the cliffs during the summer months. The area is protected,  and visitors are asked to stay on designated paths and not disturb the  birds.

Overall, Dyrhólaey is a must-visit destination for nature  lovers and photographers, offering stunning vistas and unique geological  formations.

Lastly, the tour stops by Sólheimajökull glacier,  where visitors can walk up to a small lake formed in front of the  retreating glacier. The South Coast tour is a fantastic opportunity to  experience Iceland's natural beauty and marvel at some of the country's  most iconic landmarks.
