About this activity
In this tour, we drive over Mt. Hengill, one of Reykjavik's volcanoes over to the South coast. On the way down at the other side, we begin to see the South Coast volcanoes emerging in the distance.
Hekla is probably Iceland's most active volcano, having erupted every 10 years for a long time. Now she has been quiet for 18 years so the next one can happen any day. Driving through the south we see the volcanoes on our left hand and the Atlantic on our right.
Eyjafjallajökull, famous for erupting 2010 and stopping all flight traffic in the northern hemisphere, is one of our destinations but on our way to there, we pass some stunning waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skógarfoss. On the way to there, we have the option of a stop at the Volcano Center in Hvolsvöllur. It is a newly opened interactive volcano museum that brings the volcanoes to live.
The black sand beach Reynisfjara is our last stop before turning back. It is among the most stunning and most photographed places in Iceland.
