Message from Adriana Neptuna

Reynisfjara is that black sand beach you’ve probably seen all over Instagram — and yes, it’s just as epic in real life. 🌊 The beach is covered in smooth black pebbles, with wild waves crashing against these towering basalt columns that look like something out of a fantasy movie. It's dramatic, moody, and totally iconic.

The sea stacks (Reynisdrangar) just offshore? According to legend, they’re trolls that got turned to stone at sunrise. 🧌 Love a good Icelandic myth!

But be careful — those waves are no joke. They’re called sneaker waves for a reason, and people have been caught off guard. Stay back from the water and just enjoy the vibe… it’s pure Icelandic magic. ✨
