Explore Iceland's South Coast's striking landscapes and famous sites on this 12-hour private full-day tour from Reykjavik. Ideal for travelers seeking a personalized experience, this small-group tour offers an intimate exploration of waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glacial vistas.
Start with a morning pickup at your preferred location in Reykjavik and set off along the scenic Ring Road with your local guide. Travel in comfort as you head toward Iceland’s southern countryside.
Your first stop is Hveragerdi, a geothermal village known for its bubbling hot springs and underground energy. Enjoy a coffee and pastry break, and see a visible fissure where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet.
Continue past the volcano Eyjafjallajokull to Skogafoss, a powerful waterfall made famous by Game of Thrones. It stands 197 feet (60 meters) tall and 82 feet (25 meters) wide, with a staircase leading to a panoramic viewing platform.
Break for lunch in the picturesque village of Vik, the southernmost settlement in mainland Iceland. Surrounded by cliffs and ocean views, Vik is known for its red-roofed church overlooking the town and its proximity to dramatic coastal landscapes.
After lunch, visit Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, famous for its basalt columns and the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks rising just offshore. The powerful Atlantic waves and dramatic landscape make it one of the most photographed beaches in Iceland.
Next, the adventure brings you to explore the Dyrholaey headland, where you'll find coastal views, seabird nesting cliffs, and a natural stone arch carved by the ocean. Puffins are often spotted here in summer.
Another highlight of your South Coast trip is the Solheimajokull Glacier, an outlet of the Myrdalsjokull Ice Cap. Your guide will lead you on an easy walk to the edge of the glacier to see its blue ice and volcanic ash layers while explaining how climate change is affecting Iceland’s glaciers.
End the day at Seljalandsfoss, a 197-foot (60-meter) waterfall that drops from a former sea cliff. A path leads behind the water when conditions allow. Wear sturdy shoes, as the trail can be slippery.
Your tour finishes with a drop-off at your preferred location in Reykjavik by evening.
This private tour offers flexibility, comfort, and personal attention throughout the day. You can adjust the pace, ask questions freely, and enjoy a more relaxed experience. It's perfect for couples, families, or small groups seeking a tailored adventure.
