Enjoy unhurried stops, comfortable transport, and a well-planned route that ensures plenty of time at each location. With no difficult walking or climbing, this South Coast tour is accessible for all kinds of travelers, seniors, and kids as young as 4 years old.
Your journey begins with pick-up from designated bus stops in Reykjavik. Meet your English-speaking guide and hop into a modern vehicle for a scenic drive through South Iceland’s landscapes.
The South Coast is one of Iceland’s most scenic regions, known for its dramatic coastlines, mighty waterfalls, and sweeping volcanic landscapes. This stretch of coastline features many of the country’s most iconic and widely photographed natural wonders.
Watch the countryside unfold as you head towards the first stop in the village of Hvolsvollur. It provides a convenient break early in the journey, making the long drive easier and adding a touch of local charm.
Next, discover the majestic Skogafoss Waterfall. Feel the mist on your face as water plunges 197 feet (60 meters) into the river below. Visitors can walk right up to the base or climb the staircase beside the falls for sweeping views over the coastline. Wear sturdy shoes, as paths may be wet.
Continue to Reynisfjara, a black sand beach famous for its basalt columns, sea cave, and Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks. Watch the waves crash dramatically against the shore, but remember to keep safe due to dangerous "sneaker waves".
Just a few minutes away, you’ll stop in the charming village of Vik i Myrdal, Iceland’s southernmost settlement. Grab a snack, browse local shops, or stroll the shoreline while enjoying views of the surrounding cliffs and coastline.
Next, you travel to Solheimajokull Glacier, an impressive outlet glacier extending from Myrdalsjokull. Get up close to the glacier tongue, admire the blue ice formations, and enjoy photo opportunities surrounded by volcanic terrain. Glacier hiking is not included, but the viewpoint is unforgettable.
Finish your South Coast adventure at the iconic Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. Walk behind its curtain of water for a unique perspective or enjoy the front viewpoint for wide landscape photos. Bring a waterproof jacket if you plan to walk behind the waterfall.
As you begin the drive back, relax in your seat and enjoy the South Coast views along the way. Your guide shares stories, answers questions, and makes sure you have time to appreciate each highlight before heading back toward Reykjavik.
