Breathtaking 10-Hour South Coast Private Luxury Tour with Transfer from Reykjavik

Discover the many wonders behind one of Iceland's most breathtaking regions on this private luxury tour of the South Coast with a transfer from Reykjavik. Guests who book this thrilling adventure will see some of Iceland's most beautiful waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, and historical buildings.

Your enriching day begins when a friendly driver-guide picks you up from your Reykjavik accommodation. You'll then ride a spacious luxury vehicle that will keep you comfortable en route to the South Coast's many attractions.

Your first stop of the day is the majestic Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls. With a height of 197 feet (60 meters), the Seljalandsfoss waterfall is easily recognizable, especially with its unique feature: a pathway that lets you walk behind the waterfall. Walking behind the water curtain gives you an immersive experience that few waterfalls can offer.

Next, you'll visit Skogafoss, one of Iceland's biggest waterfalls. Known for its beauty and dramatic setting, the Skogafoss waterfall drops an impressive 197 feet (60 meters) into a wide pool below. Moreover, its width of 82 feet (25 meters) makes for a stunning and powerful sight, especially from up close.

You can walk right up to the base of Skogafoss to feel the cool mist on your skin. Alternatively, you can take a staircase that climbs up the side of the waterfall for panoramic views from the top. If you visit on a sunny day, you'll see the Skogafoss waterfall's mist create vibrant rainbows, adding to its charm.

Next, you'll head to the nearby Skogar museum to get a fascinating insight into Iceland's rich cultural heritage. Located about 1.1 miles (1.7 kilometers) from the Skogafoss waterfall, the Skogar museum consists of historic buildings and exhibits showcasing Icelandic life through the ages.

The Skogar museum features three divisions: a Folk Museum, an Open-Air Museum, and a Technical Museum. Some items you'll see from the collections include various artifacts, Icelandic turf houses, and exhibits showcasing the locals' way of life.

Your next stop is the fascinating coastline featuring the Reynisfjara black sand beach. Located beside the town of Vik, the Reynisfjara black sand beach is famous for its dramatic landscape, basalt columns, and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks. 

As you walk along the beach and its jet-black sands, you'll see the Reynisdrangar sea stacks towering and rising from the sea just off the shore. According to local folklore, these rock formations are the remains of trolls turned to stone when caught by the sunlight.

The guide will also take you to some glaciers led by the majestic Solheimajokull. A stunning outlet glacier of the larger Myrdalsjokull ice cap, Solheimajokull measures about five miles (eight kilometers) long and 1.2 miles (two kilometers) wide.

While in the area, you'll explore Solheimajokull's fascinating ice formations, deep crevasses, and contrasting black ash from nearby volcanic eruptions.

The tour also includes visits to old fishing villages and a chance to taste traditional Icelandic cuisines.
