south coast in one day?

Starting and ending in Selfoss

Is this reasonable? We have Solheimajokul (3 hour tour at noon) booked already

Can we hit these stops? Too ambitious?

Seljalandsfoss
seljavallalaug
skogafoss
dyrholaey

You can do it, but it is a LOT of driving. Minimum of 6 hours without any stops. Factor in the glacier hike and that brings it to 9 hours without time at the other places.

Personally I would skip seljavallalaug as it is known to be quite unkept, and I am being kind;) I would also skip Dyrhólaey as well.

If this is summer, with long hours, it would be doable if you got a VERY early start and realize you will get back very late. If you are going when the days are shorter, no, this would be too much.

Without knowing your entire itinerary, is there any way you can just stay up around Vik for the night?
