Private guided four wheel drive day tours - From Reykajvik
The South Coast - Thakgil
This day tour is like the South Coast tour but we will not visit Hellisheidi Power Plant or the museum at Skogar. Instead we will drive to Thakgil which is located near the glacier Myrdalsjokull. We begin the day by driving towards east and throughout the historical area Rangarvallasysla, the setting of the medieval saga Njalssaga. We will drive to Seljalandsfoss, a beautiful, high waterfall we can walk behind.
From there we continue the trip to Skogar, where there is another big waterfall, Skogafoss. We drive now to Dyrholaey, a promontory reaching out into the ocean, displaying magnificient birdlife. From Dyrholaey we drive to Vik in Myrdal where we rest for a while and have lunch. At Vik we can drive or walk by the coastline and visit a souvenir shop, which specializes in woolen clothes. Now we turn to north off road nr. 1 and drive to Thakgil.
The name can be translated as "the canyon with a roof". As we get there we will hike two or three hours on one of the many walk paths. On our way back we will stop at a cafe in Vík and then we return to Reykjavik via the same route. This is a long day tour, which offers a magnificent and diverse experience of Icelandic nature. The black sand beaches, the ocean and the coastline, the glaciers and mountains, the birdlife and the nation´s history are just examples of what you will experience during this tour.
