Private 8-Hour South Coast Tour from Reykjavik or Selfoss with Optional Glacier Activities

Discover the natural wonders and breathtaking landscapes of Iceland's South Coast on an immersive eight-hour private tour focusing on waterfalls and black beaches. This exclusive experience is perfect for families and groups of travelers keen on seeing the highlights of the countryside with the convenience of a private local guide.

Your private excursion in Iceland begins with a convenient morning pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavik. Alternatively, you can set the charming town of Selfoss in Southwest Iceland as your starting point. 

During pickup, you'll meet your friendly tour guide, who will enrich your experience with exciting information and local stories about the stops on your itinerary. At any point during the next eight hours, feel free to ask your guide questions or assistance.

In addition, you'll also enjoy the total convenience of a private tour. You can set the pace of the drive, make spontaneous stops without rushing, and avoid waiting for other travelers.

From the Icelandic capital, the adventure will take you on a scenic drive along the Ring Road to the South Coast. This Icelandic region is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, where glaciers meet black sand beaches, and powerful waterfalls cascade into rugged canyons. 

First in your itinerary is the mesmerizing Seljalandsfoss, a stunning waterfall that plummets over a 200-foot (60-meter) cliff. What sets this waterfall apart is the opportunity to walk behind it, allowing you to experience the roaring cascade from a unique perspective.

Next to explore is another waterfall called Skogafoss. This natural attraction has a drop of 200 feet (60 meters) and a width of 82 feet (25 meters). While in this area, you can climb the staircase beside the falls to access panoramic views of the surrounding landscape that sometimes has rainbows.

The last highlight of your South Coast tour is Reynisfjara, a world-famous black sand beach near the coastal village of Vik. The beach has long stretches of black volcanic sands, dramatic basalt columns, and towering sea stacks called Reynisdrangar, constantly pounded by the mighty waves of the North Atlantic Ocean. 

For those seeking even more excitement, this private tour offers optional activities that can be added to your itinerary, although they will incur additional costs and may alter your schedule.

For the adventurous, you can embark on an exhilarating glacier hike on Solheimajokull glacier. Led by experienced guides, you'll explore the icy landscapes, discover deep crevasses, and learn about the glacier's unique features.

Another optional activity is ice caving at Katla in the Myrdalsjokull glacier. Katla's stunning natural formations will allow you to witness ice walls and caves of different colorations, even in the summer months. 

After a satisfying time on the South Coast, the guide will drive you back to Reykjavik or Selfoss, marking the end of your tour.
