Description

See the waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches of Iceland's South Coast on this private tour from Reykjavik with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide.

Your guide picks you up at your accommodation in Reykjavik or a nearby town, and you head east along the South Coast. As a private tour, you can take your time for photos and breaks along the way.

After a couple of hours on the road, you can stop at a coffee shop in Selfoss Town for a break, a coffee, and the restrooms.

The first sightseeing stop is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which drops 197 feet (60 meters). You have about 45 minutes here, and you can walk behind the waterfall and feel its spray.

Nearby, you can take an optional short walk to Gljufrabui Waterfall, which is hidden inside a narrow canyon.

Next is Skogafoss Waterfall, one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland, where you spend about 45 minutes. Legend says a Viking buried a chest of treasure behind it, and on sunny days, rainbows often form in its spray.

You can then make an optional 15-minute photo stop at Solheimajokull Glacier, an outlet glacier of Myrdalsjokull Glacier.

In Vik Village, the southernmost village in Iceland, you have about 30 minutes to see its red-roofed church on the hill and its cafes.

The last stop is Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, where you spend about 45 minutes among basalt columns, crashing waves, and views of the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks. Then you drive back to Reykjavik.
