South Iceland's Signature Routes

The Volcanic Way is a way to explore South Iceland and Reykjanes, focusing on volcanoes and their surroundings. Eight major volcanoes lead the way, telling you the story of how they shaped the land and its people.

Off the beaten track, with easy reach from Keflavik airport, lies the South Coast Lighthouse Trail. It is a travel route that draws attention to the coastal scenery south of the Golden Circle. Visit three unique seaside villages: Þorlákshöfn, Eyrarbakki, and Stokkseyri, highlighting the history and culture of the area as well as activities and nature. The route is just under 50 kilometers, stretching from Selvogsviti lighthouse to Knarrarósviti lighthouse.

Discover waterfalls, geysers and dramatic landscapes, plus history and culture at Þingvellir — an easy loop packed with iconic sights.

Follow the shoreline for epic scenery and easy-to-reach highlights: waterfalls, sea cliffs, basalt columns and wide-open views.
