Iceland Vik

Dyrhólaey

Promontory with a distinctive arch, home to seabirds including puffins, offering panoramic views and a historical lighthouse on a volcanic coast.

Tips from the community

This is one of the only places you can travel to see a beach with black sand from lava rocks. Along the southern coast of Iceland lies this dreamlike peninsula with lush green and harsh lava rocks. Visiting Dyrholaey truly feels like a fairytale experience, with fresh air and ocean surrounded by vast sprawls of land and an adorable little beach town nearby named Vik.

    The land of fire and ice. We were captivated of how beautiful this country is. Went in November, was raining on some days but still worth seeing the landscapes, waterfalls, etc. We even saw the Northern Lights on our way on the plane, when we were passing Canada. Didn’t get a chance to see the lights while in Iceland due to the ugly weather we had though we still had so much fun exploring it.
