Description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with this private South Coast tour of breathtaking landscapes, waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches. This tour is perfect for nature enthusiasts keen to discover Iceland's magnificent natural wonders.

From 8:30 to 9:00 am, your expert guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. Sit back and relax as you embark on a scenic journey along the stunning South Coast.

Your first stop is the magnificent Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Be amazed as you witness the water cascading from a height of 197 feet (60 meters), and for the adventurous, take a walk behind the waterfall for a truly unique perspective. Note that on extremely cold days, the path may be closed due to icy conditions. Even if you can't venture behind the waterfall, the surrounding icy landscape still holds an undeniable beauty that captivates the senses.

Next, continue to the awe-inspiring Skogafoss waterfall. Marvel at its powerful cascade, reaching a height of 197 feet (60 meters) and a staggering width of 82 feet (25 meters). Keep an eye out for the famous double rainbow that often graces its base on sunny days.

Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss are both in glacier rivers that flow from the Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull glaciers. Eyjafjallajokull is famous for its 2010 volcanic eruption that disrupted air traffic in Europe.

Prepare to be amazed as you make your way to the Solheimajokull Glacier, a breathtaking outlet glacier from Myrdalsjokull, Iceland's fourth-largest ice cap. Take in the impressive views of the icy landscape and learn about the geological forces that shape this natural wonder.

As you proceed along the coast, you arrive at the Reynisfjara black-sand beach. Marvel at the unique basalt columns rising from the sea and the dramatic rock formations known as Reynisdrangar. Feel the power of the Atlantic Ocean as you walk along the volcanic black sand beach.

Your final destination is Vik Village, a charming coastal settlement renowned for its picturesque surroundings. Capture stunning photos of the iconic church atop the hill and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the quaint streets.

After an exhilarating day exploring Iceland's natural wonders, you will begin your journey back to Reykjavik, arriving at around 7:00 pm. Sit back, relax, and reflect on the incredible memories made throughout the day.

Don't miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to discover the spectacular beauty of Iceland's South Coast on this private full-day tour. Check availability now by choosing a date.
