Explore Iceland’s breathtaking South Coast and step inside a natural ice cave beneath the Katla volcano on this unforgettable full-day super jeep tour from Reykjavik!
Perfect for travelers looking to experience the highlights of the South Coast, this small-group tour combines epic waterfalls, black sand beaches, and a guided Katla ice cave experience—all in one action-packed day.
Your journey begins with pickup from Reykjavik in a modified super jeep, built for comfort and capable of handling Iceland’s rugged terrain. The day’s first stops include two of the South Coast’s most iconic sights: Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Skogafoss waterfall.
At Seljalandsfoss, you can follow a narrow trail that loops behind the waterfall—expect to get wet, but the stunning views from inside the cascade are worth it. Even if you stay dry and view it from the front, the waterfall’s graceful drop and surrounding cliffs make it one of the most memorable sights on the South Coast.
Skogafoss is all force and volume, thundering over the cliffs into a flat valley below. You can stay at ground level for the best photos or climb the stairs for sweeping views over the coast and highlands. According to Icelandic legend, behind Skogafoss' vast curtain of water is a treasure chest hidden by Thrasi Thorolfsson, a Viking who once inhabited the area.
Next, you'll visit Vikurfjara, a dramatic black sand beach near Vik where crashing waves meet towering basalt formations. Rising from the sea just offshore are the haunting Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Old tales say the rock formations are trolls turned to stone when hit by light at sunrise. The stark contrast of black sand, tall cliffs, and crashing waves makes it one of the most photogenic places on the South Coast.
The highlight of your adventure is the Katla ice cave tour, taking you beneath Myrdalsjokull glacier, the home to one of Iceland’s most powerful volcanoes. After gearing up with crampons and helmets, your expert guide will lead you into the Katla ice cave, a luminous tunnel of ice shaped by volcanic heat and glacial forces.
Inside the ice cave, you’ll walk through shimmering blue ice layers, sculpted by nature’s extremes. Some of the ice is over 800 years old! It's a one-of-a-kind experience that you'll remember long after your trip ends.
After exploring the ice cave, you'll hop back into the super jeep for a scenic drive back to Reykjavik, taking in more volcanic landscapes along the way.
This full-day Katla ice cave and South Coast tour is ideal for travelers seeking adventure, natural beauty, and a rare glimpse into Iceland’s glacial and volcanic terrain. With a knowledgeable local guide, a comfortable ride in a custom super jeep, and all the planning taken care of, it’s the easiest way to experience some of Iceland’s most unforgettable places in one seamless day.
