Description

Discover the most breathtaking landscapes of Iceland near Reykjavik on this 10-hour private tour to the South Coast. This meticulously crafted itinerary promises an up-close encounter with iconic natural wonders, from waterfalls to rugged coastlines,  all from the comfort of a private car.

Your adventure begins with a hassle-free pick-up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. No need to worry about the logistics or the hustle of group tours, as your dedicated driver-guide will be at your service, ensuring a smooth, educational, and comfortable 10-hour journey. 

In addition, no one will rush you and your companions as you move along the itinerary. Instead, you have the luxury of customizing your experience, spending more time at the sights that resonate with you and less time at those that don't. 

As you leave the city behind, the stark beauty of Iceland's countryside unfolds before you, with vast fields, rolling hills, and distant glaciers setting the stage for an epic road trip.

The first stop is the charming town of Hvolsvollur, a hidden gem known for its picturesque setting and friendly locals. Stretch your legs, explore the quaint streets, and immerse yourself in the local culture before continuing your adventure. 

Your next destination is the awe-inspiring Skogafoss waterfall, a towering cascade of pristine water that plunges from a cliff of 200 feet (60 meters). Beside the water curtain is a staircase that you can climb to get a top view of Skogafoss and the surrounding valley.

From Skogafoss, the journey takes you to Solheimajokull, a mesmerizing glacier boasting its icy wilderness. Although you won't hike atop the glacier, your guide will bring you near the glacier edge to admire its rugged terrain. They will also share fascinating insights into the glacier's formation and significance in Iceland's natural history. 

Next, prepare to be enchanted by the unique black sands of Reynisfjara beach, with its dramatic basalt columns and the powerful crash of Atlantic waves. The long stretch of black volcanic sands and sea stacks provide a beautiful photo backdrop, so don't miss your chance.

The tour continues to the charming village of Vik, where you can immerse yourself in the local culture and enjoy the serene beauty of the surrounding landscapes. Feel free to explore the village's charming shops, talk to locals, buy souvenirs, or sample the traditional delicacies.

The final stop before returning to Reykjavik is the iconic Seljalandsfoss waterfall, famous for its unique walking path behind the cascading water. This rare opportunity offers a perspective few get to experience, allowing you to see the world from behind the curtain of falling water.

As the day draws to a close, your private car will return to Reykjavik, dropping you off at your accommodation with memories that will last a lifetime.
