YOUR SOUTH COAST ROUTE
A little planning
goes a long way.
Build a route around the sights that speak to you. Conditions can change quickly, so leave room for detours and check the road forecast before setting out.
Plan your journey →Begin with the coastal drive east from Reykjavík. Make time for Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and the quiet views across the Eyjafjallajökull region before settling in near Vík.
Explore Dyrhólaey’s sea arch, walk carefully along the black sands and discover the mossy paths around Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon.
Continue toward Skaftafell and Jökulsárlón. A short hike, a lagoon-side stroll and Diamond Beach make a memorable final chapter.
