Maximize your Icelandic experience with this 14-hour combination tour from Reykjavik, merging South Coast sightseeing and northern lights hunting into one epic day. This exciting guided journey offers the best of Iceland's natural beauty, from breathtaking waterfalls and glaciers to the aurora borealis.

Begin your adventure with a morning departure from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Direct pick-up and drop-off at your hotel are also available for an extra cost.

From Reykjavik, you'll travel in a comfortable vehicle as you explore some of Iceland's most iconic landmarks. Your guide will enrich your trip with fascinating facts and local legends about each stop in your itinerary.

The South Coast tour begins with a visit to Skogafoss, one of Iceland's largest waterfalls. You can feel the power of its cascading waters from below or climb the steps to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding area. 

Your next destination is the Solheimajokull glacier, an outlet glacier of the Myrdalsjokull ice cap. A short hike to the glacier's mouth will let you see its frozen wonders, growing lagoon, and other rugged landscapes. 

Nearby, Reynisfjara beach awaits with its stretches of black volcanic sands. Here, you can admire crashing waves that meet striking basalt columns, creating a scene that is as mesmerizing as it is photogenic. 

The final South Coast stop is Seljalandsfoss, a unique waterfall that offers the rare chance to walk behind its cascading water curtain. The experience is as refreshing as it is magical, leaving you in awe of Iceland's raw beauty.

After returning to Reykjavik for a short break and dinner on your own, the second half of your journey begins, a northern lights hunting tour. From late August to April, Iceland is a top destination for chasing the elusive auroras.

Your guide will use real-time aurora forecasts to lead you to the best locations away from city lights. In the countryside, you'll have the highest chance of witnessing the magical aurora borealis. 

With the right conditions and a bit of luck, swirls or bands of green and other colors will light up the Arctic skies above you. The aurora is a breathtaking sight that will stay with you forever.

While enjoying the views, your guide will share exciting trivia and stories about the northern lights. A hot chocolate drink will also be provided to help keep you warm.

If the northern lights prove elusive, you'll be offered another chance to join the tour on a different evening.

Your combo tour finishes back in Reykjavik, where you can savor memories and photos of a remarkable experience in the land of fire and ice.
