A Short Guide to Iceland's South Coast Around Hella
N66 Tours is based in Hella, on Iceland's South Coast — a small town that sits within easy reach of most of the landscape South Iceland is known for.
Within about an hour's drive, you've got Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, the black sand beach at Reynisfjara, and the start of the glacier region around Vatnajökull further east. The Golden Circle sites — Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss — are a couple of hours in the other direction.
Being based out here rather than Reykjavik means shorter transfer times to the glaciers themselves, which matters for a tour where a meaningful chunk of the day is guided walking on the ice, not driving to get to it.
If you're planning a South Coast trip and want tour options beyond ice caves, this is the area to base yourself in — get in touch and we can point you toward what's worth your time.
