Let's gooo! Hop into the driver's seat, hit the legendary Ring Road and travel around Iceland on a next-level road trip adventure. In The Land of Fire and Ice, it's highlight after highlight. So keep your camera at the ready and feel the magic as you capture boiling pillars of water erupting from geysers, ancient lava flows on volcanic crater rims and rainbows shimmering over waterfalls. Wake up each day in a world of wonder and experience the island's sacred silence in spots without a soul in sight – just you, Icelandic horses, sheep or reindeer and majestic glaciers on the horizon. Moments like this only happen here. There's nothing else like it in the world. And you're sure to feel it – guaranteed!
You're awoken by your lust for adventure, and before you know it, you're sitting behind the wheel of your hire car, ready to discover the most beautiful spots the South Coast has to offer. Your eyes are glued to the rugged landscape. Then you reach the first must-see: the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. You watch as its foaming waters cascade 197 feet into the depths, and you're burning to see what's behind the curtain. And you're in luck – you can actually go behind the fall's thundering wall of water! But be careful, it's slippery back there! You snap pics like mad, trying to capture this incredible moment from every angle. Can it get any more beautiful than this? Oh, yes, it can! The Skogafoss waterfall kicks it up a notch with a misty spray that, with the right lighting, creates two brightly shining rainbows – totally cinematic. In fact, Skogafoss has been used as the backdrop for several films!
No less spectacular is the small town of Vík í Mýrdal, which you'll find near the Katla volcano, overlooking the Mýrdalsjökull glacier – your destination for today! Stroll to the black beach and enjoy the magical silence that's only broken by the crashing of the waves.
One of the most impressive beaches in the world lies right outside your doorstep. And now it's high time to get out and see it for yourself. So you hop into your hire car and hit the road! After just a few minutes of driving, the earth beneath you turns black, and then there it is in front of you: Reynisfjara Beach. As you catch sight of the pitch-black sand, towering cliffs and the roaring waves crashing against the shore, you get chills from head to toe – yet another impressive show of nature's power! Cautiously, you head to the beach, heeding the warnings you heard about the dangerous and unpredictable 'sneaker waves' that can come from seemingly nowhere and take their victims by surprise. On the west end of the beach, you catch a glimpse of Iceland's volcanic history from its most beautiful side. The black, angular basalt columns of Hálsanefshellir Cave tower almost 50 feet high, creating a top-notch photo op. In the distance, you can already see your next destination: the Dyrhólaey Peninsula. Curiously, you hike over the steep cliffs and hope for a bit of luck so you can spot the adorable puffins that sometimes gather there. Next, you're off to the Sólheimasandur Plane Wreck, which looks like something straight of a film. Leaving your hire car in the car park, you wander through the lonely landscape. You feel the cool breeze against the distant backdrop of pitch-black rocks, mountains and the sea, and suddenly, the mysterious wreck appears before you – a truly unbelievable sight!
Iceland is simply next level – and today, you're seeing nature from its most extreme side! Skaftafell National Park welcomes you with a dramatic landscape of wild rivers, lava fields and glacier-blue ice. Your hike takes you to Svartifoss, where freezing waters cascade over dark basalt columns as if in slow motion. And the frost continues at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, home to a whole labyrinth of floating icebergs and adorable seals who playfully swim between them. Afterwards, it's on to the grand finale at Diamond Beach! Black sand, glittering chunks of ice and a play of colours that you just can't put into words – 'Iceland, you're a masterpiece!'
