Discover Iceland’s most dramatic natural wonders on a small-group South Coast tour from Reykjavik. Perfect for travelers keen on seeing the land of fire and ice's top destinations, this full-day excursion features waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glaciers with the insight of a French-speaking guide.
With a stress-free pickup and a full day of breathtaking landscapes, this small group Iceland tour is the easiest way to explore the South Coast.
Your journey begins with a convenient pickup in Reykjavik, with optional meeting points at Hallgrimskirkja or Harpa Concert Hall. From here, you set off toward Iceland’s breathtaking southern landscapes.
Traveling in a small group ensures a personal experience. Avoid the rush of large tours and enjoy more space. With a professional driver, you can relax in a minibus and listen as your French-speaking guide explains the history, geology, and legends of each site.
The first stop on your South Coast tour is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most iconic attractions. In summer, you can walk behind its curtain of water, while in winter, the spray forms beautiful ice sculptures along the cliffs.
Next is Skogafoss, an 82-foot (25-meter) wide waterfall in the South Coast that drops with immense power. Mist rises from the base, often creating double rainbows on sunny days. You can climb the staircase for views of glaciers or stay below to feel the thunder of the falls.
Skogafoss is also famous in pop culture. Game of Thrones fans may recognize it as the backdrop for the dragon-riding scene of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen.
Continue your South Coast tour at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach near the village of Vik. This dramatic coastline features roaring Atlantic waves, towering basalt columns, and the Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks. According to legend, these rock formations were once trolls turned to stone at sunrise.
Reynisfjara is also one of Iceland’s most famous filming locations. It appeared in Star Wars: Rogue One as the stormy planet Lah’mu. The Atlantic waves here are powerful, so your guide will remind you to stay at a safe distance while enjoying the dramatic scenery.
After the South Coast trip, you’ll head back to Reykjavik. The return journey offers sweeping views of glaciers, volcanoes, and coastal plains. With your driver handling the road, you can relax and enjoy the last views of Iceland’s wild landscapes before arriving back in the city.
