Private South Coast and Diamond Beach Tour from Reykjavik

See the waterfalls and black sand beaches of the South Coast, plus Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach, on this private day tour from Reykjavik.

Your guide picks you up in the morning from your accommodation in Reykjavik, Hveragerdi, or Selfoss in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. As it's a private tour, you can spend more time at the stops that interest you most.

The first stop is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which drops 197 feet (60 meters) and has a path that lets you walk behind it. The mist can be heavy, so bring a waterproof jacket.

Next is Skogafoss Waterfall, which also drops 197 feet (60 meters) and often has rainbows in its spray. You can climb the stairs beside it for views of the coast and highlands, or stay at the base.

Then you visit Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, known for its basalt columns and crashing waves. The waves here are dangerous, so keep a safe distance from the water.

Nearby is Vik Village, between the mountains and the sea, with views of the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks. It's a good place to stretch your legs and grab a bite, at your own expense.

Continuing east, you stop at Stjornarfoss Waterfall, a smaller, rounded waterfall in a quiet canyon.

Next, you see Vatnajokull Glacier, the largest glacier in Europe, with its icy peaks and glacier tongues.

Then you visit Diamond Beach, where icebergs from the nearby glacier lagoon rest on the black sand.

The last stop is Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, where large icebergs drift in the water, and you may see seals swimming among them. The itinerary allows time to walk around both the lagoon and Diamond Beach and take photos. Then your guide drives you back to Reykjavik and drops you off at your accommodation.
