Experience Iceland’s southern region in the most personal way possible with this private South Coast tour from Reykjavik. Limited to just three guests, this intimate day trip is ideal for couples, families, or close friends who want a comfortable, flexible adventure without the crowds.
Travel with your own dedicated guide as you explore waterfalls, glaciers, and black-sand beaches at a relaxed pace. With this small-group experience, you can enjoy unhurried stops, spontaneous photo breaks, and plenty of time to soak in each location.
Over nine hours, you’ll journey east along Iceland’s dramatic southern coastline. This region is famous for its natural contrasts. Here, glaciers meet the sea, waterfalls drop from high cliffs, and beaches are filled with black volcanic sand.
Your South Coast tour begins with pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavik or Keflavik. Once everyone is on board, you’ll head out on the open road toward Iceland’s South Coast, passing green fields, distant volcanoes, and coastal farms along the way.
Your first stop is two of South Iceland’s most popular waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss invites you to walk behind its shimmering 197-foot (60-meter) cascade for an immersive experience. Just about 30 minutes away, Skogafoss is another breathtaking waterfall that plunges dramatically from cliffs.
Next, you’ll visit Dyrholaey Cliffs, a breathtaking clifftop nature reserve overlooking the ocean. From here, you can spot a dramatic sea arch, a scenic lighthouse, and wide views of the coastline. In summer, the cliffs are home to puffins, making it one of the best places in Iceland to see these charming birds up close.
Continue to Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, known for its volcanic sands and striking basalt formations. The towering hexagonal columns at Reynisfjall Mountain and the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks rising from the Atlantic Ocean make this one of Iceland’s most photographed places.
The waves at Reynisfjara are powerful, so it’s best admired from a safe distance while enjoying the sound of the surf.
Your final stop is Vik, Iceland’s southernmost village. Surrounded by mountains and black beaches, it’s a charming coastal community. Here, you can visit the hilltop church, browse local shops, or enjoy coffee at one of the cozy cafes before the drive back.
After a full day of exploring Iceland’s southern wonders, you’ll return to Reykjavik in comfort. The drive back offers beautiful views of the countryside, rolling hills, and distant glaciers, an ideal ending to a memorable day.
