About this experience

Join us for an unforgettable journey along Iceland’s South Coast.

This is one of those places that never gets old—no matter how many times we visit, we’re still in awe. Towering waterfalls, moody black sand beaches, creeping glaciers, and cliffs that drop straight into the Atlantic… it’s the kind of scenery that makes you stop, breathe, and soak it all in. And the best part? You just sit back and enjoy the ride—we’ll take care of the rest.

Highlights of the South Coast Tour:

🌊 Skógafoss – One of Iceland’s biggest and boldest waterfalls. When the sun hits just right, you might even catch a shimmering “sunbow” in the mist.

💦 Seljalandsfoss – Walk behind this famous cascade (yes, behind it.) and find the hidden gem nearby. Just a heads-up: you will get wet.

🌿 Dyrhólaey – Dramatic cliffs, endless ocean views, and that fresh, salty breeze.

🖤 Reynisfjara / Black Sand Beach – A beach like no other—jet-black pebbles, towering basalt columns, and waves that command respect.

❄️ Glaciers & Ice Caps – Massive, ever-changing, and glistening in the Icelandic light. Even for us locals, they never fail to impress.

🏔️ Epic Coastlines – Wild, rugged, and unapologetically beautiful.

It’s not just about the stops—it’s about the journey.

Rolling past Iceland’s endless landscapes, you’ll have time to dream, take it all in, and capture the moment. Your guide? A local who knows all the best spots, stories, and maybe even stop to say hi to a friendly horse or two along the way.

Skip the stress of parking, planning, and navigating—let’s get straight to the good stuff.

Cancellation for this tour

Cancelling costs 10% of the price within 999 days of departure. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

1Midgard Adventure decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until the cutoff shown above, the operator's policy after that.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper South Coast Waterfalls, Glacier & Black Sand Beach Tour from BusTravel Iceland is €117 — €140 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

	Midgard Adventure · €257	BusTravel Iceland · €117
How long it runs	8 hours	10 hours
Changing your mind	Not stated	Free until 24 h before

On everything we can measure, the BusTravel Iceland tour is the better buy. The €140 is not buying anything we can point to, so unless you want this operator in particular, take the cheaper one.

Who this is not for

Children under 5 cannot join this one.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

What a fabulous adventure! Our tour group and tour guide were fantastic. We were so ecstatic to have such an active group of people on our tour allowing us to do multiple hikes and excursions. Our tour guide Alessandro was absolutely incredible! So knowledgeable & friendly. My husband and I loved chatting with him and learning about his personal background and time in Iceland. I would definitely recommend this excursion it was one of our top 2 highlights of our 9 day trip around the ring road!

Our day in Þórsmörk with Ragnar ended up being one of those travel experiences we’ll be talking about long after we get home. Ragnar was hilarious from the start—full of stories about Icelandic life, culture, and folklore that had our whole group rolling with laughter. But beyond being entertaining, he has an obvious passion for both his country and the work he does. You can tell he genuinely loves sharing this place with people. Because it was a private tour, he really paid attention to who we were and what we enjoyed. He quickly realized our group was up for a little adventure and customized the day to match our energy level, taking us to incredible hikes, stunning viewpoints, and hidden spots we never would have found on our own. Along the way, he taught us about the geology and history of the area in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. And then there were the Icelandic hot dogs. What could have been a quick lunch stop became a memorable part of the day, complete with Ragnar’s enthusiastic tutorial on the proper way to stack the condiments. We may never eat a hot dog the same way again. We had some amazing experiences in Iceland, but this one felt especially personal. Ragnar didn’t just guide us through Þórsmörk—he made us feel like we were experiencing like a local. We’re so grateful for the memories and would recommend him & Midgard Adventure in a heartbeat.

We had a Fantastic private super jeep tour on our first day in iceland. The trip was beautiful and our guide Markus was great. The scenery is constantly changing as the river changes course depending on the amount of water incoming down from the glaciers. The jeep was comfy despite the rocky terrain and the many river crossings.we had a blast and would highly recommend this tour.

The Þórsmörk Super Jeep hiking tour with Midgard totally exceeded our expectations! A massive shoutout to Carlos Gabriel, who is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever encountered. Not only is he an incredibly skilled driver—making the rugged terrain and river crossings feel completely safe and exciting—but he is also a wealth of knowledge. He kept us engaged the entire time, explaining the fascinating local plants, rocks, and geology along the way. The hike itself was incredibly fun and diverse, taking us through a stunning variety of landscapes. The final payoff at the top was breathtaking, offering a magnificent view of the snow-capped mountains and the massive valley below. If you are looking for an unforgettable adventure in Iceland, I cannot recommend Midgard and Carlos enough!

Sightseeing flight in Iceland: plane or helicopter?A small plane costs about half as much per minute as a helicopter and covers more ground. Pay for the helicopter only when you want the landing.
