Description
Combine South Coast sightseeing and a northern lights hunt in one day on this tour from Reykjavik, with waterfalls, glaciers, and, with luck, the northern lights.
Your tour starts with a morning departure from Reykjavik. Pickup and drop-off at your hotel are available at your own expense.
From Reykjavik, you travel in a comfortable vehicle to some of the best-known landmarks in Iceland. Your guide tells you facts and local legends about each stop.
The South Coast tour begins at Skogafoss Waterfall, one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. You can feel its power from below or climb the steps to the top for views of the surrounding area.
Your next stop is Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, where waves crash against basalt columns.
Next, you visit Solheimajokull Glacier, an outlet glacier of Myrdalsjokull Glacier. A short walk to the glacier's edge lets you see the ice, its growing lagoon, and the rugged landscape around it.
The final South Coast stop is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, where you can walk behind the falling water.
After returning to Reykjavik for a short break and dinner, the second part of your day begins: a northern lights hunt. From late August to April, Iceland is one of the best places to see the northern lights.
Your guide uses real-time aurora forecasts to take you to the best locations away from city lights, where your chances of seeing the northern lights are highest.
With the right conditions and some luck, swirls or bands of green and other colors light up the sky above you.
While you watch, your guide shares stories and facts about the northern lights, and hot chocolate helps keep you warm.
If you don't see the northern lights, you can join the tour again on another evening.
Your tour ends back in Reykjavik.
