This day tour in Iceland begins with a convenient pick-up in Reykjavik. Your guide will meet you at your accommodation or the nearest tour bus stop from this location. 

Throughout the tour, you’ll be accompanied by a friendly and knowledgeable guide, with whom you can ask questions and get assistance. You’ll travel in a private vehicle to enjoy optimum comfort and privacy, with the opportunity to stop for photos or short walks whenever you wish.

The South Coast of Iceland is renowned as one of the country’s top destinations. Stretching along the southern edge of the island nation, this region is home to iconic waterfalls, vast black sand beaches, towering sea cliffs, and glaciers. 

The first stop on your itinerary is the stunning Seljalandsfoss waterfall. What makes Seljalandsfoss unique is the opportunity to walk behind its 200-foot (60-meter) high cascade. As you pass through the path carved into the rock, you’ll be rewarded with an immersive view of the water plunging from the cliffs above.

Next, you’ll visit Skogafoss, one of the most iconic waterfalls in Iceland. Known for its wide and tall cascade, Skogafoss can be viewed from its base or at the top through a staircase. On sunny days, the mist from the waterfall often creates beautiful rainbows. 

The tour continues to Solheimajokull glacier, where you can get up close to one of Iceland’s most accessible glaciers. Its striking ice formations and crevasses offer a glimpse into the world of glaciers.

While admiring the glacier edge, the guide will share information and stories about Solheimajokull’s features and geological history.

At the Dyrholaey peninsula, you’ll take in panoramic views of the coastline, including dramatic sea arches and birdlife. This rugged area is a sanctuary for puffins during the summer months and offers spectacular vistas year-round.

One of the day’s highlights is a visit to Reynisfjara, a black sand beach with basalt columns and roaring Atlantic waves. The towering Reynisdrangar sea stacks offshore add to the beach’s charm and make it one of Iceland’s most photogenic locations. 

The tour concludes with a stop in Vik, a charming coastal village, before heading back to Reykjavik.
