Description

Explore Iceland during the midnight sun and visit the South Coast and the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in this fantastic event. Those who'd like to visit essential sites in Iceland, plus areas most affected by the notorious Eyjafjallajokull volcano, should take advantage of this tour. 

Your South Coast tour begins in the capital city of Reykjavik. Since this is a midnight sun tour, your English-speaking driver guide will pick you up in the evening. You'll be riding a super jeep throughout the tour, allowing you to go through various South Coast terrain. 

Since this South Coast sightseeing tour will commence in the evening, dress in warm and comfortable clothing with layers and consider wearing walking shoes or boots for your footgear. 

In addition, bring some snacks and drinks to keep you energized. You can also bring a camera to take pictures of the breathtaking sights we'll visit. 

One of the highlights of this tour is visiting the areas most affected by the Eyjafjallajokull eruption. 

Eyjafjallajokull is a glacial volcano that caused havoc in 2010 after its massive eruption affected Iceland and other parts of Europe. Many European countries, such as Ireland and the UK, canceled their flights as the volcano's ashes reached their skies. Now, the volcano is dormant, allowing visitors to visit its vicinities. 

Another highlight is the two famous waterfalls in Iceland, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Seljalandsfoss is a unique waterfall with a path going behind, allowing you to see it from the back. Meanwhile, the nearby Skogafoss has a mighty cascade and beautiful surroundings. 

You'll also have the chance to walk on the South Coast's famous black-sand beaches, including Reynisfjara. Finally, you'll visit the small village of Vik and its surroundings, including some bird cliffs and the sea. 

On your way back to Reykjavik, you'll pass by another waterfall, Urridafoss, just a short ride from the main road. You'll also drive past the small village of Hveragerdi. The town, which sits in a vast geothermal area, is known for its many greenhouses.

Your tour ends on your return to your Reykjavik accommodation. 

Explore the South Coast during the midnight sun and visit the best of Iceland, from waterfalls to black sand beaches, small coastal villages, and the surrounding sights of Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Check availability now by choosing a date.
