Experience Iceland’s dramatic coastline on this 12-hour private South Coast tour from Reykjavik to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach. Ideal for couples, photographers, families, and groups of up to six, this experience offers a premium and comfortable way to explore Iceland’s most iconic landscapes at your own pace.
Travel with a private driver-guide who manages timing, road conditions, and navigation. With expert local knowledge and thoughtful planning, your driver-guide adapts to weather and road conditions in real time to keep the day efficient, comfortable, and well-paced.
Your journey begins with a flexible morning pick-up in Reykjavik in a luxury vehicle with free Wi-Fi, accommodating up to six passengers. For your convenience, pick-up from Keflavik International Airport or areas outside Reykjavik can also be arranged for an additional cost.
This South Coast itinerary brings you to three iconic waterfalls in South Iceland. At Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, you can walk behind the 197-foot (60-meter) cascade. Nearby, Gljufrabui Waterfall hides in a narrow canyon, offering a quieter, up-close view inside the gorge.
Continuing east, you arrive at Skogafoss, one of Iceland’s most dramatic waterfalls. Water plunges 200 feet (60 meters) over an ancient sea cliff, creating a powerful mist. Climb the staircase for sweeping coastal views or experience the spray up close at the base.
The coastline turns dramatic at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, known for its basalt columns and powerful Atlantic waves. Stroll along the shore to admire the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks. In summer, watch for puffins nesting on the nearby cliffs while keeping a safe distance from the surf.
A stop in Vik i Myrdal offers time to pause and recharge. This small seaside village provides ocean views, cozy cafes, and a relaxed setting for lunch or coffee before the journey continues east toward the glaciers.
The highlight awaits at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, where brilliant blue icebergs drift across a vast glacial lake fed by Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier. The tour also offers an optional amphibian boat tour at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, available during the summer months from May to October, subject to availability and fees.
If time allows, a short walk brings you to Diamond Beach, where glistening fragments of glacier ice rest on black volcanic sand. The contrast between clear ice and dark shore creates striking scenes that change with light and tide.
During this private day tour in Iceland, your guide shares insights about volcanoes, glaciers, and everyday life along the South Coast. Your experienced driver-guide ensures safe travel and lets you stop at extra viewpoints whenever you like.
In the late afternoon, return to Reykjavik along the South Coast in your private luxury vehicle.
