Vik is an enchanting coastal village located in the southernmost part of Iceland, surrounded by beautiful landscapes consisting of dramatic cliffs, black sand beaches, and unique basalt sea stacks. This quaint town is renowned for its eye-catching natural attractions including the Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, the iconic Reynisdrangar rocks, and the expansive Dyrhólaey peninsula which offers breathtaking panoramic views. The birdwatchers are treated exceptionally as Vik serves as a habitat for puffins during the summer season. Encrusted with icy glaciers and volcanoes, Vik also stands in close proximity to the mighty Katla volcano, making it a must-see destination for thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts.

Definitely worth the couple hour drive south of Reykjavik. 

Trek to the Sólheimasandur Beach plane crash site. It's like being on another planet with the black sand beaches. Dress warm. It can be extremely windy. 

Skogafoss is also nearby and a must see.
