Breakfast at the Hotel. Today we will proceed on a Full Day Tour of South Iceland, Waterfalls, and Black Sand Beach Tour. South Iceland is a physically stunning and geologically fascinating region of the country, home to several of Iceland's most breathtaking locations, from snow-capped peaks of the country's largest volcanoes to beaches made of pitch-black volcanic sand. You will travel through the lush farmlands of South Iceland, surrounded on one side by the interior's craggy mountains, glaciers, and volcanoes (including the famed Eyjafjallajökull) and on the other by the enormous Atlantic Ocean. Along with Skógafoss, one of Iceland's biggest waterfalls, you will also see Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where the Seljalandsá river rises beneath Eyjafjallajökull glacier falls, on your trip to South Iceland. You will see the towering Reynisdrangar basalt rock formation and the Reynisfjara black sand beach just outside Vk Medal (or just Vk to the locals). A written account pales in comparison to the experience. Let the tour guides enliven South Iceland with tales, information, science, and history.

The next stop is the picturesque Arnarstapi village, where you can stroll the fantastic scenery along the rugged shoreline and stop for lunch. Following lunch, the group travels to Djpalónssandur, a tranquil black-pebble beach in the Snaefellsjökull National Park not far from where Jules Verne discovered the beginning of his "Journey to the Center of the Earth," which offers breathtaking ocean views and an intriguing past. As you leave Djpalónssandur, you'll go through awe-inspiring scenery to the fishing community of Grundarfjordur on the Snaefellsnes peninsula's north shore. The symmetrical peak Kirkjufell, which rises 1500 feet above the sea in Grundarfjörur, and is surrounded by gorgeous mountains, is one of the peninsula's most famous and photographed features. The path leaves Grundarfjörur and travels through Berserkjahraun lava fields.
