# South Coast, Waterfalls and Black Beach Tour from Reykjavik

In our comparison: #44 of 45 in South Coast Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

South Iceland, Waterfalls and Black Sand Beach Tour takes you on a journey of exploration through the many dramatic faces of the Icelandic landscape. The South Coast region of Iceland is the flattest in the country making it ideal for farming but because this is Iceland, the land is also surrounded by majestic mountains, Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, looming volcanoes and glaciers, Reynisfjara black sand beach and the formidable sea. 

Your expert guide will also point out several notorious volcanoes, including Hekla, Eyjafjallajokull and Katla.
