Explore the iconic waterfalls, black sand beaches, ice caves, and glaciers on this two-day tour of the South Coast of Iceland. Those eager to discover some of the most breathtaking natural sights in Iceland and hopefully catch sight of the northern lights should book this small group tour now.
Your tour begins when you are picked up from your accommodation or your agreed meeting point in Reykjavik. You’ll meet your expert tour guide and the rest of the group and board the minibus to start your South Coast adventure.
Guests can bring one small day bag and a larger bag up to 44 lbs (20 kg).
The first stop on the tour is Seljalandsfoss, one of the most well-known waterfalls in the country. Seljalandfoss waterfall is around 197 feet (60 meters) high. While here, you can take part in a unique and magical experience as there is a path behind the waterfall. This path means you can walk around it and look out from behind the cascade.
Next, you’ll visit another of Iceland’s famous waterfalls, Skogafoss. Marvel at the waterfall from ground level and then climb around 500 steps to view the falls from above.
Another stop on the itinerary for the first day of your tour is Reynisfjara black sand beach. Here you’ll see basalt sea stacks formed by the volcanic activity in the area.
After your first day of adventures, it’s time to head to your accommodation for the night in Skaftafell. If the forecast is good, your guide will show you where you have the best opportunity to see the northern lights. Of course, the aurora borealis is a natural phenomenon, and there is no guarantee that you will see them.
On the second day of this two-day South Coast tour, you will visit Vatnajokull National Park. Vatnajokull National Park is home to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, where you’ll see floating blue and white icebergs heading toward the sea.
After this, you’ll go inside a natural ice cave and see some incredible ice formations. Your expert guide will explain more about how ice caves are created.
At the end of the tour, your guide will transport you back to Reykjavik. If conditions are good on the way back, you may get another chance to see the northern lights, and your guide will make a short stop to observe them.
