Private South Coast Tour with Waterfalls, Glacier Views, & Black Sand Beach from Reykjavik

Explore the South Coast on this private tour from Reykjavik, with waterfalls, a black sand beach, and the village of Vik. You can also add a stop at Solheimajokull Glacier or a guided glacier hike.

On a private tour, the itinerary is tailored to your interests, with no strict schedule, so you can spend more time where you like. Your driver-guide shares stories, geology, and local knowledge along the way.

The first stop is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which drops from a 197-foot (60-meter) cliff. A path leads behind the waterfall, so you can see it from all sides. Bring a raincoat, as the spray reaches the path.

Next is Skogafoss Waterfall, one of the most powerful waterfalls in Iceland, which drops 197 feet (60 meters). On sunny days, rainbows, sometimes double ones, appear in the spray. You can climb the staircase beside the falls to a viewpoint at the top.

The tour continues to Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, with its black volcanic sand, basalt columns, and the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks rising from the waves. Powerful sneaker waves can surge up the beach without warning, so stay well back from the water.

Then you visit Vik, the southernmost village in Iceland, known for its colorful houses and red-roofed church overlooking the sea. It's a good place for a coffee break or a look around the local shops.

You can also add an optional stop at Solheimajokull Glacier, an outlet glacier of Myrdalsjokull Ice Cap. A short walk takes you to the glacier's edge for a close look at the blue ice and crevasses. If you'd like a more active experience, you can book a guided glacier hike with a certified glacier guide.

At the end of the day, you're driven back to Reykjavik.
