Itinerary and highlights

You can go behind this waterfall but we highly recommend waterproof clothing for this.

At this waterfall can you climb stairs to the top of it and see it from above. In good sight can you also see Eyjafjallajokull.

You will be walking to the edge of the glacier and can even touch it.

The Black Sand Beach is famous for it's basalt formations and the beautiful view on the Reynisdrangar.

OBS: Always look at the waves they are very dangerous!
