Guided tour of South Coast & Katla Natural Ice Cave

After you've left the city behind, you'll hop into a jeep for an exciting and scenic ride to the Skógafoss Waterfall, located on the Skógá River and marking the former seaside coastline, with an astonishing size: the fall is 25 meters wide and 60 tall, and one of the country's most powerful waterfalls.
Continue to Vík, passing the craggy hills of Hafursey, a verdant mountain surrounded by a blackened lunar landscape, and Hjorleifshofdi, an inselberg(an isolated rock ridge or hill in an otherwise flat area) rising dramatically from the volcanic sands below.
Once you've reached Iceland's southernmost village, you'll head out on an ice cave tour near Katla, Iceland's most eruptive volcano, and located in the Kötlujökull glacier.
The caves themselves sparkle with black and blue ice, formed from glacial waters melting and creating ethereal and breathtaking formations within the cave and trapping volcanic ash in its walls for a truly remarkable experience.
Return to Vík for some free time, where you can explore the village's ancient church, try some traditional local dishes at one of the village's charming restaurants, or take a walk along Iceland's most famous black sand beach at Reynisfjara, but be careful of the strong surf!
On the way back to the city, you'll stop at Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall with a natural cave hidden behind it that will let you walk around the raging waters yourself, and end your day of adventure back in beautiful Reyjavik.
