This private Iceland tour is ideal for travelers who want the freedom to explore at their own pace and capture photos without crowds. Enjoy personal attention from an expert guide throughout your journey.
Your 10.5-hour journey begins with pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik or a nearby location. Relax as your driver handles the roads while your guide shares insights about Iceland’s landscapes, history, and folklore.
The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site rich in Viking history. Walk through Almannagja Gorge and stand between the drifting North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
Feel the history come alive as you explore Oxararfoss Waterfall, a 65.6-foot (20-meter) cascade framed by rugged cliffs. This waterfall once supplied water to the site of Iceland’s first parliament, founded in AD 930, combining natural beauty with cultural heritage.
From there, the route leads to the Geysir Geothermal Area in Haukadalur Valley, where steam vents and bubbling mudpots shape the landscape. Watch Strokkur erupt every five to ten minutes, shooting water up to 66 feet (20 meters) into the sky.
The adventure continues to Gullfoss Waterfall, a breathtaking two-tiered cascade that thunders into the canyon below. Hear the story of a local who bravely protested the construction of a dam, adding a historical touch to this majestic waterfall in Iceland.
Journey along the South Coast to Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most photographed waterfalls. Follow the path behind the cascade for a rare perspective and feel the mist of the water as it falls in front of you.
Not far away, Skogafoss greets you with 196 feet (60 meters) of roaring cascade. Climb the nearby staircase for sweeping views over the coastline and countryside.
Continue your South Coast tour at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Stand beneath towering basalt cliffs and gaze at the jagged Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks rising from the ocean. Listen to waves crash against the shore as your guide leads you to the safest and most dramatic viewpoints.
Wrap up your private day tour in Iceland in the village of Vik. Wander local streets, admire coastal scenery, or relax on the black sand beach before your private driver returns you to Reykjavik.
