Embark on an unforgettable 2-day winter adventure along Iceland’s South Coast, where glaciers, waterfalls, and black sand beaches create a landscape like no other. This small group tour is perfect for travelers seeking scenic highlights and unique seasonal experiences like ice caving, with expert guidance, comfortable transport, and accommodation all included.
The South Coast of Iceland is one of the country’s most visually striking regions, where fiery volcanic terrain meets icy glaciers and roaring Atlantic waves. During winter, the area transforms into a serene and dramatic wonderland, offering surreal beauty and fewer crowds.
Over two days, you’ll explore iconic locations in the region, including the world-famous Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
Your winter journey in Iceland includes a comfortable ride in a modern minibus, led by a professional English-speaking guide. This guide shares local insights monitors on conditions for spontaneous photo stops or aurora hunting.
All transportation from Reykjavik, one night’s accommodation in a countryside hotel with a private bathroom, and breakfast are included. The small group size ensures a more personal and flexible experience throughout the tour.
Some of the South Coast’s most iconic features are its waterfalls and coastal cliffs. Seljalandsfoss offers a unique path behind its falling curtain of water, while Skogafoss impresses with its powerful drop and misty rainbows.
A visit to Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach completes the experience, where towering basalt columns, dramatic sea stacks, and crashing Atlantic waves create a striking natural scene.
Another highlight of this winter tour is Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Located at the edge of Vatnajokull National Park, this glacial lake is filled with massive icebergs that have calved from a nearby glacier tongue. The calm blue waters provide a surreal setting for photography and wildlife sightings, including curious seals swimming between the ice.
One of the most extraordinary experiences offered on this tour is the opportunity to visit a natural ice cave. For those who wish to upgrade, a specially modified Super Jeep takes you off-road to the glacier’s edge, where a certified glacier guide leads you safely through tunnels of electric blue ice sculpted over centuries.
It’s a rare chance to explore deep inside Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajokull, in one of the few regions where ice caves form naturally each winter.
When night falls, the adventure doesn’t end. Your countryside accommodation is ideally situated away from city lights, offering the best possible conditions to view the northern lights. If the skies are clear and solar activity is present, your guide will help you chase down this unforgettable natural light show.
From the crashing waves at Reynisfjara Beach to the floating icebergs of Jokulsarlon and the potential for glowing auroras overhead, this 2-day winter tour brings together the best of Iceland’s winter magic. Optional ice caving, expert-led exploration, and breathtaking scenery make this the perfect short escape for nature lovers and adventurous souls.
