Experience glacier hiking, visit magnificent waterfalls, and step inside a natural ice cave in Iceland on this incredible South Coast tour. This 11-hour small-group tour from Reykjavik is the perfect adventure for active couples, groups of friends, and curious explorers who love nature and want more than just sightseeing.
Glaciers and ice caves are not places you explore alone. With a professional guide beside you on this day trip in Iceland, you move with confidence. They handle the planning, the timing, and the safety, while you enjoy every step of the experience.
Traveling in a small group means you can always hear, ask, and learn without feeling lost in the crowd. You’ll also enjoy ample space on board as you travel the whole day.
After pickup from your hotel or a designated bus stop in Reykjavik, you and your small group travel toward the icy landscapes of the South Coast. Here, powerful waterfalls crash down from high cliffs, massive glaciers stretch across the landscape, and hidden ice caves wait beneath the surface.
Your first major stop on your South Coast tour is the Solheimajokull Glacier. Solheimajokull is an outlet glacier of the mighty Myrdalsjokull Ice Cap.
Once you arrive, you gear up with crampons, a harness, a helmet, and an ice axe. After a clear safety briefing, you step onto the ice.
Walking across a glacier is a special feeling, especially during winter in Iceland. You explore deep crevasses, sharp ridges, and smooth blue ice that changes shape every season. Your expert guide leads the way and makes sure everyone feels confident and safe.
The excitement of your South Coast tour continues with the highlight of the day, an ice caving experience beneath Myrdalsjokull Glacier. As you explore the ice cave, you admire sculpted tunnels of ice marked with dark volcanic ash from past eruptions. The mix of blue, white, and black ice creates a scene unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Your glacier guide carefully checks conditions and leads you through the cave, sharing stories about how glaciers move and how these frozen spaces are formed. Warm layers, waterproof clothing, gloves, and sturdy hiking boots will help you stay comfortable in this cold but magical environment.
After exploring the glacier, the journey continues to two of the most famous South Coast waterfalls. At Skogafoss, water drops from a height of 197 feet (60 meters) into a wide pool below, creating a powerful and unforgettable sight. On sunny days, rainbows often appear in the mist, adding even more magic to the scene.
Not far away stands Seljalandsfoss, falling gracefully from about 197 feet (60 meters). Here, you can walk behind the curtain of water for a rare and playful perspective that few waterfalls in the world offer.
Together, these South Coast waterfalls provide the perfect ending to a day filled with ice, movement, and adventure.
As the evening approaches, you relax in the vehicle while returning to Reykjavik.
