South Coast & Black Beach ATV Adventure

Connect with the elemental force of black lava sand on Iceland's southern shore.

Starting in Reykjavík, our journey leads to Mýrdalsjökull glacier, home to the powerful volcano Katla. After reaching the glacier, we equip ourselves with ATVs (all-terrain vehicles/quads) to kick off the adventure. Crossing rivers, we'll explore the Dyrhólaey promontory and Sólheimasandur beach, home to the iconic DC-3 aircraft wreck.

The abandoned DC-3 plane wreck is the subject of countless photos and has even been featured in a Bollywood movie plus various TV commercials.

On this fun adventurous tour, we will experience different landscapes and magnificent Icelandic flatlands.

Adding an extra layer of excitement, we'll pause at the spectacular Seljalandsfoss waterfall, allowing you to venture behind its cascading waters, and the majestic Skógafoss waterfall.
