Thrilling 10-Hour Private South Coast Tour from Reykjavik in a Super Jeep

Embark on a thrilling journey into one of Iceland’s most prized regions in this thrilling private South Coast tour from Reykjavik. This 10-hour-long super jeep tour is perfect for first-time visitors who wish to see some of Iceland’s most fascinating sights and natural wonders.

The adventure begins when a friendly guide picks you up from your Reykjavik accommodation. You’ll be riding a 4x4 private super jeep that'll help you safely reach various South Coast destinations. Since this is a private tour, you can expect an intimate experience perfect for small families or close friends.

Iceland's South Coast is a mesmerizing and diverse region showcasing its natural beauty in all its glory. Stretching along the island’s southern shoreline, this area is renowned for its stunning landscapes, dramatic contrasts, and unique geological wonders.

Your first stop will be the Gigjokull, one of two outlet glaciers of the Eyjafjallajokul ice cap. The Gigjokull glacier gained international recognition during the volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in 2010 when the volcano melted vast amounts of ice, causing massive flooding and creating a spectacle that captured the world's attention.

Flowing across the Eyjafjallajokul ice cap to 4,921 feet (1500 meters) before descending in an icefall down 656 feet (200 meters), Gigjokull is a striking example of the dynamic interplay between glaciers and volcanic activity in Iceland. Check out its unique geological features that include various ice formations and crevasses.

Your next destination is Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most celebrated waterfalls. Known for its natural beauty and unique accessibility, the majestic Seljalandsfoss stands approximately 197 feet (60 meters) tall and plunges gracefully over a dramatic cliff face.

As you marvel at the waterfall’s beauty, be sure to walk behind the cascading curtain of water. A well-maintained path allows you to venture into a small cave behind the falls, offering a truly immersive and thrilling experience.

Next, you’ll head to Vik, a picturesque village surrounded by dramatic landscapes. Vik is one of the country's most charming and inviting destinations. This quaint settlement, with a population of around 300 residents, serves as a perfect base for exploring the stunning natural wonders of the region. Moreover, Vik boasts cozy guesthouses, cafes, and restaurants where travelers can savor Icelandic cuisine and hospitality.

Along the way, you’ll stop at Reynisfjara beach. This otherworldly destination is characterized by volcanic black sand, making it a stark and unique contrast to the surrounding landscapes.

However, the beach’s most striking feature is the impressive basalt sea stacks known as Reynisdrangar. According to Icelandic folklore, the sea stacks were once trolls turned into stone when caught by the first rays of dawn. These formations add an air of mystique and wonder to the already captivating scenery.

You’ll also visit the Dyrholaey Promontory . This 120-meter promenade is a natural wonder that encapsulates the country's rugged beauty and diverse landscapes. The name Dyrholaey translates to "Door Hill Island," which refers to the large arch-shaped rock that once connected the headland to the mainland.

As you stand at Dyrholaey, savor the panoramic views while enjoying the stunning expanse of Reynisfjara and Reynisdrangar basalt columns to the east. As you turn to the west, you’ll see the rugged coastline, with its dramatic cliffs and hidden coves. Interestingly, Dyrholaey is also home to the North Atlantic puffins, which frequent the area during summer.

The tour’s final stop is Skogafoss, another breathtaking waterfall that has become one of Iceland’s most iconic natural landmarks. The Skogafoss waterfall plunges approximately 200 feet (60 meters) over a rugged cliff, creating a powerful and mesmerizing water cascade.

What sets Skogafoss apart is its impressive width, spanning 82 feet (25 meters). As the waterfall descends, it generates a constant mist that, on sunny days, often produces vibrant rainbows, adding an extra layer of enchantment to the scene.

After a tiring but fulfilling day of exploring the South Coast, the guide will take you back to your Reykjavik hotel.
