   Day 1 — South Coast Adventure and Glacier Views

   • Walk behind this stunning waterfall – just be sure to bring waterproof clothing!
   • One of Iceland’s most iconic falls. Towering 60 meters high, it’s an amazing photo stop. You can climb the stairs to the top for a panoramic view.
   • Famous for its pitch-black volcanic sand and striking basalt columns. Offshore sea stacks make this one of the most photographed spots in Iceland.
   • The deepest lake in Iceland (approx. 300m), filled with enormous icebergs calving off the Breioamerkurjokull glacier. A scene from James Bond and other major films was shot here.
