Description

Join us to see the sights of the South Coast of Iceland with all the main sights condensed into a day tour. 

You will visit the two famous waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Seljalandsfoss plunges 65 meters over a cliff, and you have the unique opportunity to walk behind the waterfall and feel the power generated by the masses of water. 

Skógafoss waterfall is the second famous waterfall, much broader than Seljalandsfoss. You will find stairs that you can climb to the top of the waterfall for a fantastic birds-eye view over the entire area and coastline and, of course, of the cascading waterfall itself. 

You will also see the famous black sand beach, Reynisfjara. Some say it inspired a scene in Frozen 2 with its vast black sands. You can take a stroll along the black sand beach and see the famous basalt column caves as well as hear the ocean waves crash onto the beach. You will get a great view of Reynisdrangar rock stacks towering out of the ocean just offshore the black sand beach.

The main attraction of this tour is the glacier hike on Sólheimajökull. You are in for a treat, whether you have been on a glacier before or not, as glacier hiking is a beautiful and adventurous activity that will make you speechless for the natural beauty of the ice surrounding you. We will supply you with all the necessary equipment, and our qualified and experienced adventure guides will give you a good introduction on how to walk on the ice of a glacier. Be prepared to be amazed by the towering ice masses moving ever so slowly down the steep mountains. 

On bright days you will enjoy mesmerizing views of the surrounding volcanoes, Eyjafjallajökull and Hekla. Sometimes, you will even see the Westman Islands that are just a short boat ride away.

Amazing!

One of the best trips in Iceland! Our tour guy, Thor if I remember correctly, was very funny, informative and helpful guy. The places we went were amazing and of course hiking on the glacier was the top of the trip. The guides also on the glacier were very informative and careful and cared for everyone to be ok at any time. You should definitely go on this trip. I have also been in another company's similar trip but I was not satisfied so i suggest this one definitely.

Greeting!

During my recent visit to Iceland I took part in the 11 Hour South Coast Tour with Glacier Hiking 0n 22.12.2021. This excursion was unquestionably the highlight of my 10 day visit. We visited a black sand beach, several waterfalls and hiked a glacier. Our hiking guide was knowledgeable and clearly put safety first while showing us, in person, just how vast and beautiful a glacier is. 

Our tour guide and driver made this trip memorable and fun. He was very knowledgeable, providing us with some history of Iceland, details about the culture, and shared his own personal anecdotes about growing up in Iceland. He clearly enjoyed his job and went out of his way to make our tour a personal experience. He stopped several times in an attempt to locate the Northern Lights for the group. We ultimately did see them thanks to his efforts! He played us some local music along the way and even sang Christmas Carols for us. I will also add that our tour guide spoke clearly and slowly. While I am a native english speaker, my wife is not, so I understand the importance of communicating directly and patiently.

Thanks again for the opportunity to get to know Iceland. I have left with an extremely positive perception of the Social, geographical and cultural aspects of the country.

Regards,

Justin Dore

Guide was nice and informative. It was a bit confusing due to having 3 different tours on 1 bus. Would book through this app again to gain access to the VIP savings.
