Things to do in Reynisfjara Beach

I took three day trips from Reykjavik and it is my favorite one. You will have the opportunity to see some of the most iconic sights in Iceland, such as Skogarfoss and Reynisfjara Beach. Highly recommended!

Skógafoss & Seljalandsfoss Waterfalls 🌈 Freezing cold, howling wind, and pouring rain. Witnessed the natural beauty of light refraction. Caught a rainbow at both! 🌈 ReynisfjaraBlackSandBeach The conditions at Reynisfjara were awful, and despite keeping my distance, I actually got dragged in by a sneaker wave. In that exact moment, I thought, 'If I die right now, at least my family gets 12 million in insurance.' #CloseUpGlacier Looking closely at the glacier, it's far from the ordinary white I know. Instead, it's a natural white with light refractions, mesmerizing from every single angle.🌟 #

Our tour guide, Swede (I’m not entirely sure about the spelling, but we took the tour on October 13th, 2026), was fantastic! He is truly kind and passionate about his work. His time management was excellent, and he arranged the itinerary extremely well. Only two of us joined the DC Plane Wreck tour while the others went glacier hiking. Instead of leaving us to wait around while the others hiked, he took us to explore some beautiful surrounding spots. This thoughtful arrangement gave us an incredible bonus experience. On top of that, he made us feel completely reassured—he informed the plane wreck shuttle driver about us and promised to pick us up right on time. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this tour guide!

Excellent tour. I highly recommend with some caveats. would not rate Katla Caves as “easy” but moderate requiring mini-cramp ons up ice and lava rock. An older guest needed assistance and a jet lagged one almost slipped. Also our tour transport had three different final destinations on our original bus so a bit confusing (Katla, glacier hike, and 2 day excursion). Also a 4th group had to be taken by a different operator because we were otherwise returning at 9pm and this caused some tension with passengers. I highly recommend rain boots for Katla and falls as one gets quite wet. Also full waterproof head to toe regardless of summer or winter. I think the instructions said just for winter and we are here during the summer. Thank you for the stunning experience.
