Description

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Iceland's South Coast on this small-group sightseeing tour with a local guide. This immersive 10-hour itinerary takes you to some of the best natural attractions in the country, including the majestic Skogafoss waterfall and the world-famous Reynisfjara beach.

This small-group tour in Iceland opens with convenience as you get picked up from your hotel in Reykjavik. You'll meet your English-speaking tour guide, who will provide you with a fun, interactive, and educational experience on the South Coast.

A spacious minibus, accommodating up to eight passengers, will be your comfortable and flexible mode of transportation throughout the day. The perks of a small-group tour shine as you enjoy personalized attention from the guide and the ability to connect with fewer travelers.

The South Coast of Iceland is a land of incredible diversity extending along the island's southern edge. This region is renowned for its dramatic features, including glaciers, cascading waterfalls, volcanic beaches with black sands, and towering rock formations.

Your first stop is Seljalandsfoss, a majestic waterfall that allows you to venture behind its cascading water of 200 feet (60 meters). It's a sight to behold and an adventure to walk behind the falls, providing a unique and immersive view.

Next, you'll encounter Skogafoss, a powerful waterfall that is the same height as the Seljalandsfoss waterfall but has a broader cascade of 82 feet (25 meters). The attraction boasts viewing areas at its bottom and top cliffs that you can access through a staircase beside it. On a sunny day, rainbows often grace the cold waters of the Skogafoss waterfall.

Hidden away from the crowds, Kvernufoss is the third waterfall on your South Coast itinerary. This lesser-known gem invites you to its more peaceful and intimate setting, with its cliffs covered in mosses.

Your journey continues to the Solheimajokull glacier, where you can witness the effects of glacial movement up close. It's a fascinating opportunity to see the unique features of this frozen wonderland and gain insight into glacial dynamics from your guide.

Nearby is the imposing Dyrholaey rock arch, a natural formation that rewards you with panoramic views of the rugged coastline and the vast Atlantic Ocean. It's a breathtaking sight that provides an excellent vantage point for capturing the beauty of the South Coast.

The tour concludes with a visit to the world-renowned Reynisfjara beach, celebrated for its black sand and incredible basalt columns. The iconic Reynisdrangar sea stacks beside the beach add to the dramatic beauty of this location, which has earned a place in Icelandic folklore that you'll learn more from your guide.

Towards the end of your 10-hour trip, the guide will drive you back to your hotel in the Icelandic capital.
