One minute the sun is shining and the ocean mist is hitting your face from the edge of a cliff. Ten minutes later it\u2019s cold, grey, and the snow from ancient glaciers is dancing around you. It\u2019s easily one of the most awe-inspiring and magical places I have ever visited, and will likely ever visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/v\/region-south-iceland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Iceland <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<table style=\"height: 223px;\" width=\"484\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Capital city<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Reykjavik<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>National language<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Icelandic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Must-try food <\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Reindeer and Puffin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Popular attraction<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waterfalls, glaciers, black-sand beaches<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re planning a trip to Iceland, the Southern coast should be at the top of your to-do list. This stretch of coastline boasts a little bit of everything, from thermal baths to breathtaking waterfalls. This region quickly became one of my favourite, thanks to its diversity and strangely unique beauty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting in Reykjavik, here is the perfect 7-day itinerary for everything you need to see and do in Southern Iceland.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Day One: Reykjavik and The Blue Lagoon<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are, you\u2019ll land at the airport in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keflav\u00edk fairly early in the morning. From here, you have two ideal options that can be done in any order: Reykjavik, or the Blue Lagoon. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>The Blue Lagoon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is geothermal spa located in the middle of a lava field just 20 minutes from the airport. Filled with beautiful, blue, mineral-rich water, this iconic landmark is known to help people with a number of skin conditions. The water is extremely warm and the views are fantastic, making it a really relaxing way to start or end your day. Just remember to wash your hair with conditioner before and after going into the pools, otherwise you\u2019ll have hair troubles for the rest of your trip. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Reykjavik<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the capital city of Iceland and home to 90% of the country\u2019s inhabitants, is a beautiful seaside city with endless possibilities. Give yourself a day (or two if you can) to explore the city, because there\u2019s a lot to see. Some major checkpoints include the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hallgr\u00edmskirkja cathedral, the Harpa concert hall, the Sun Voyager sculpture, and, if you\u2019re into it, the Icelandic Phallological Museum. There\u2019s also a lot of food to try, so make sure you sample it all. Oh, and hot dogs\u2026 you must try the hot dogs!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17046\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17046\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17046 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland1-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A man faces away from the camera while dipping in Iceland's Blue Lagoon\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland1-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland1-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland1-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland1-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17046\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue Lagoon is a popular first stop for visitors to Iceland | Courtesy of Jesse Warner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/iceland-vs-norway-where-to-next\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Iceland vs. Norway: Where to Next?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2><b>Day Two: The Golden Circle <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Golden Circle has become a very popular route for tourists because it showcases so much in a relatively short period of time. Waterfalls, geysers, and volcanic lakes can all be seen in just one day, making it the perfect second day for your tour through Southern Iceland. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Thingvellir National Park <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the first stop along the Golden Circle and is located just 45 minutes from downtown Reykjavik. The amazing geology around the park stems from the fact that it\u2019s sitting directly between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. A beautiful rift valley runs through the park, allowing you to see and walk right between the two plates. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>The Geysir Geothermal Area<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is located in the Haukadalur Valley, and it\u2019s your next stop. This is where you can see Iceland\u2019s volcanic activity up close and personal, with tons of steaming chimneys and bubbling pools everywhere. Mostly notably is the Great Geysir: the earliest documented geyser in all of Europe. While the original Geysir rarely erupts, its close friend, Stokkur, blows every ten minutes, so you\u2019re sure to see at least one amazing eruption. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Gullfoss Waterfall<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the third stop along The Golden Circle, is arguably the most well-known waterfall in all of Iceland. Known for its powerful water, stunning layers, and frequent rainbows, this site is perfect for photos and sightseeing. Plus, regardless of when you visit, the falls are never any less impressive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17047\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17047\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17047 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland2-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two waterfalls rushing off a cliff in Iceland\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland2-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland2-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland2-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland2-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17047\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can&#8217;t visit Iceland without chasing a few waterfalls | Courtesy of Jesse Warner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Day Three: Keri\u00f0, Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss,\u00a0and Hotel Ranga<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This day is all about water; covering two of Iceland\u2019s most photographed waterfalls, a volcanic lake, and a hotel sitting beside a famous salmon stream. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Keri\u00f0 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a stunning volcanic crater lake located just a few minutes outside the charming town of Selfoss. Take my advice and explore Selfoss first &#8211; the town is really adorable and will definitely leave you with some great photos. When you arrive at the crater, you\u2019ll instantly be amazed by its size. Huge would be an understatement. Take your time exploring the lake and, if you\u2019ve got the energy, hike around the entire perimeter. The views are outstanding the entire way around. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Seljalandsfoss<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is next, and for this waterfall you will definitely need a raincoat. The fall\u2019s claim to fame is hands down the fact that you can walk all around it, including behind it. It offers a unique 360 degree perspective that very few waterfalls in the world can provide, and if you\u2019re lucky, you\u2019ll spot a rainbow coming perfectly out of the top of the falls. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Skogafoss<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> waterfall might look a little familiar &#8211; it was the backdrop to one of the scenes in the film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This waterfall was one of my favourite stops in all of Iceland, which leads me to believe it might be for you as well. The shear power of the falls is somehow humbling, and you can feel the force of the water from the moment you arrive. Plus, the soothing hum of the water is enough to relax you for the entire trip. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Hotel Ranga<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a must visit lodge if you need somewhere to stay while visiting the South of Iceland. Everything about this hotel is magic: the food, the staff, the grounds\u2026 it\u2019s like an Icelandic fairy tale. Amazingly, when you arrive at the hotel you can opt for a \u201cNorthern Lights wake up call\u201d, so if the skies do decide to light up, you\u2019ll be the first to know. The menu is phenomenal, featuring reindeer and puffin, plus the three hot tubs in the rear of the grounds will lull you to sleep after a long day of adventure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17048\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17048\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17048 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland3-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Moss-roofed houses in Iceland\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland3-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland3-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland3-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland3-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17048\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Make sure you save time to explore Iceland&#8217;s charming towns | Courtesy of Jesse Warner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Day Four: Dyrh\u00f3laey, Reynisfjara Beach, and Vik <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After so many waterfalls, it\u2019s nice to know that day four features more water &#8211; this time at the beaches of Southern Iceland. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Dyrh\u00f3laey <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a small peninsula just outside of Vik that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and the famous black sand beach. This 120-metre high promenade is charming and unique, showcasing a massive archway in the centre that\u2019s formed over years of crashing ocean water. Complete with a viewing platform and lighthouse, this site is a calming reminder of Iceland\u2019s isolation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Reynisfjara Beach<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, also known as the Black Sand Beach, is a bizarre beach right beside the Dyrh\u00f3laey lighthouse. The first thing you\u2019ll notice when you arrive is the sand &#8211; it\u2019s black. And while that might sound underwhelming, trust me, it\u2019s one of the coolest and beautiful things I\u2019ve ever seen. Filled with endless photo possibilities, this beach boasts towering cliffs, strange basalt columns, lava formations, and blackened caves. And if that\u2019s not enough, there are puffins! Be sure not to get too close to the water though, as a number of fatal accidents have occurred due to the strength and unforgiving nature of this stretch of sea. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Vik<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the most charming seafront villages in all of Iceland, not just the southern coast, so it\u2019s definitely worth a visit. This village sits quietly below the M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier, so if you\u2019re up for it, sign up for an afternoon tour of the ice caps. If you\u2019re on the tired side, take the time to relax and walk around the village. The town\u2019s church was built in 1929, making it a historic site that\u2019s beautifully preserved in time, and the locals are extremely friendly, so be sure to get chatty.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17049\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17049\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17049 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland4-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A cliff and rock faces on a beach in Southern Iceland\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland4-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland4-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland4-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/7Iceland4-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17049\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iceland&#8217;s beaches are some of the most diverse and unique in the world | Courtesy of Jesse Warner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Day Five: Fja\u00f0r\u00e1rglj\u00fafur and Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park (Svartifoss and <\/b><b>J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pushing onward to the ends of Southern Iceland you\u2019ll start to notice the landscape shifts, becoming more and more dramatic. That\u2019s probably why Fja\u00f0r\u00e1rglj\u00fafur and Vatnaj\u00f6kull are so popular &#8211; they\u2019re some of the most amazing sites, carved by years of intense weather and volcanic activity. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Fja\u00f0r\u00e1rglj\u00fafur <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is somewhat hard to explain, simply because it\u2019s so vast it\u2019s difficult to put into words. Essentially, it\u2019s an ancient river canyon, dating back over two million years. The site has aged like a fine wine, getting better and better with time. Creeping moss covers the edges of the canyon that drops down dramatically into a blue and winding river that flows into the ocean. Waterfalls are dotted throughout the rock walls, making it a magical place to sit down and relax for a while. Be prepared for a bit of a hike &#8211; it\u2019s by no means a long, maybe 15 minutes, but going up is steep, so take your time and bring good shoes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is one of Iceland&#8217;s three national parks, covering over 14,000 square kilometers. By far one of the most diverse areas in Iceland, this is one place where you can see glacial ice and volcanic geothermal activity at the same time. While this park is technically creeping into the Eastern region of Iceland, it\u2019s still on the Southern coast, so it must be part of your travels. Two of my favourite sites in this park included Svartifossl and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Svartifoss <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is by far the most unique waterfall in Iceland, and when you visit you\u2019ll see why. Water tumbles over ancient black basalt columns, making it look like a viking carved out a space just for the falls. Located in the Skaftafell wilderness area of the park, the waterfall is very easy to get to, but does involve about an hour of hiking. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is on the other end of the park, about half an hour drive from Svartifoss. Honestly, this is one of the most iconic landmarks in all of iceland. This glacier lagoon is a beautifully bright blue bay of icebergs and glacial water flowing from the monstrou<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Brei\u00f0amerkurj\u00f6kull glacier. As one of the natural wonders of Iceland, this site is almost haunting, as the luminous icebergs float quietly and unmoving.

Along with a hike to a photogenic plane wreck, this day is filled with underrated Icelandic beauty. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>S\u00f3lheimasandur <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is one of the most famous site sites in all of Southern Iceland. In fact, if you\u2019re researching or just looking at pictures of Iceland, you\u2019ve probably already seen this landmark a dozen times. This epic plane wreck sits abandoned on the black sand beaches of the South coast. In 1973, the United States Navy DC plan ran out of fuel, forcing it to crash onto the beach. Fortunately, everyone survived, and it\u2019s now the perfect place for photos with a sci-fi feel. Just as a heads up, the hike to this site is a bit of a trek, at just over an hour in each direction. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>The Eldhraun Lava Field<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is less so a single destination, and more so a stretch of land spanning out towards the village of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kirkjubaejarklaustur. So the good news is, you can\u2019t miss it. This field is the largest lava flow in the world, created during the Laki eruption of the 1700s. The site is over 565 square kilometres, and the eruption itself had devastating effects on the wildlife of Iceland. Today, the craters are covered by Woolly Fringe Moss, making the landscape otherworldly and almost alien. Believe it or not, this is where the Apollo 11 crew came to train for their moonwalk, so it\u2019s safe to say it\u2019s pretty magical. Just be respectful when visiting this area as the moss is very sensitive.
