Private 12-Hour South Coast and Glacier Hiking Tour with Transfer from Reykjavik

Enjoy the spectacular sights of Iceland’s South Coast by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those eager to see waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glaciers should book this fantastic private tour now.

The tour begins when your guide picks you up from your accommodation in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik. This excursion is a private tour, so it will be just you and your party. There’s no need to wait for other guests, and your guide can tailor the tour to your interests.

Your first stop will be at the impressive Skogafoss waterfall, one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls. Standing at around 197 feet (60 meters) tall and about 82 feet (25 meters) wide, it’s an impressive sight year-round.

You can view the waterfall from below or take a staircase up to the top for a different perspective. On sunny days, you might see a rainbow in the mist created by the powerful flow of water.

Next, you will head to the Dyrholaey peninsula, where the Dyrholaey rock arch curves into the ocean from the cliffs on the coast. It is large enough for ships to enter and small planes to fly through.

If you’re traveling in the summer, you may get a chance to see the puffins nesting here. These migratory birds have little fear of people, allowing you to get close to them.

You will then reach Reynisfjara beach. Reynisfjara Beach, located near Vík in South Iceland, is known for its striking black sand and dramatic basalt sea stacks.

The towering Reynisdrangar stacks rise from the Atlantic Ocean, creating a unique and rugged landscape. It’s also home to fascinating cave formations made from hexagonal basalt columns.

The beach is beautiful, but it’s important to stay cautious, as the waves can be unpredictable and dangerous.

After enjoying the ocean views, you will head to the Solheimajokull glacier for a private guided glacier hike. The trek will reward you with stunning views of the South Coast.

The tour’s last stop is the beautiful Seljalandsfoss waterfall. A cavern underneath allows you to walk behind the waters, giving you a spectacular view of the landscape below.

Once you’ve taken in the day’s attractions, you’re ready to head back to Reykjavik. You’ll return to the capital in time for dinner, drinks, or a northern lights hunt if you’re traveling in winter.
