Epic 14-Hour Sightseeing Tour of the South Coast with Transfer from Reykjavik

By booking this incredible guided excursion, you can experience the glaciers, icebergs, and waterfalls that give Iceland its stunning reputation. Those who want to discover the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, one of the most popular destinations on the South Coast, should book this sightseeing tour now.

The tour starts when you're picked up from the designated meeting point in Reykjavik by your expert English-speaking guide. You'll meet the other guests on the tour and set off towards Iceland's South Coast.

On the way, you'll pass fields of black lava cooled and hardened after eruptions long ago, sheep and horses playing with their young in the glens, and cliffs and mountains rising over the land.

The first tour stop is one of Iceland's crowning glories, the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. The ancient ice in the lake breaks off from the Breidamerkurjokull glacier, making its way through the lagoon before being released into the sea.

You'll have plenty of time to explore here, watching out for gulls and seals that play in the lagoon and admiring the blue color of the icebergs. You can also walk on nearby Diamond Beach with its black sand, another hint towards Iceland's volcanic past.

Chunks of ice wash up on shore here and sparkle in the sun like diamonds, which inspired the name.

After this, you'll stop in Vík, a small town on the coast, and an important stop on the Ring Road. You'll experience the cute cafés and souvenir shops here. Vík is known for its dramatic black sand beaches and stunning natural scenery.

It's the island's southernmost point and offers easy access to iconic sites like Reynisfjara Beach, famous for its basalt sea stacks and powerful waves. You'll see the Reynisdrangar sea stacks in the distance here.

The nearby Dyrholaey arch provides sweeping coastline views and is a popular spot for birdwatching, especially puffins, during summer. Vík's church, perched on a hill, offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The last stop on the tour is Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The waterfall drops around 200 feet (60 meters) from the cliffs of Eyjafjallajokull and is unique because visitors can walk behind it, providing a different perspective of the cascading water.

The pathway behind the waterfall can be slippery, so sturdy shoes are recommended. Seljalandsfoss waterfall offers stunning views, especially during sunset or in the evening light.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to Reykjavik, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
