Description
Join a private South Coast tour in a luxury 4x4 vehicle from Reykjavik to see waterfalls, black sand beaches, glaciers, and secret spots. This 10-hour day tour is ideal for those who want a comfortable, private adventure combining Iceland’s famous sights and peaceful hidden spots, all captured with professional Leica photos.
Throughout the day, your guide will include special detours to less-visited locations. These may be moss-covered lava fields, small coastal paths, or quiet viewpoints where you can stand alone with the scenery. At each stop, your guide will capture Leica photos that reflect the south coast’s beauty from a more personal perspective, away from the crowds.
Your South Coast hidden gems tour begins with a private pick-up in Reykjavik, where your guide welcomes you into a comfortable 4x4 vehicle. As the city fades behind, the road opens to views of farmland, ocean waves, and mountains that rise like walls along the horizon.
The first stop is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, a 197-foot (60-meter) cascade and one of the South Coast’s most striking sights. You can walk behind its curtain of water and feel the cool spray. Nearby, hidden waterfalls tucked into the cliffs offer peaceful spots most travelers never see.
Next is Skogafoss, a powerful waterfall that also stands over 197 feet (60 meters) tall. The roar of the water fills the valley, and on sunny days, rainbows often appear in the mist. Your guide will share local folklore about treasures said to be hidden in the cliffs, adding depth to this already unforgettable stop.
From there, the South Coast tour continues to the famous Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Towering basalt columns line the shore while the Atlantic sends waves that crash with force against the sand. Just a short distance away, your guide may take you to smaller, quieter stretches of coast for a more peaceful moment by the sea.
You will then travel toward Solheimajokull, a glacier that extends from the greater Myrdalsjokull Ice Cap. Here, you can stand at the edge of the ancient ice and see its surface twist into ridges of blue and white. This peaceful spot is close enough to touch the glacier and offers the perfect setting for stunning Leica photos without the crowds.
At Dyrholaey Peninsula, the views open wide across the South Coast. The natural rock arch stands out above the Atlantic, and in summer, the cliffs are often home to puffins. The wide views from this point let you see both black sand beaches and the vast ocean stretching endlessly ahead.
The return to Reykjavik is a relaxed drive with changing views as the light shifts across the mountains and plains. It’s the perfect way to end a day of waterfalls, glaciers, beaches, and hidden corners of the South Coast.
