About this experience

Welcome to Iceland, a country known for its stunning natural beauty and unique geological features. Our South Coast tour will take you on a journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country, including stunning waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skógafos, the Black Sand Beach with its dramatic basalt columns and powerful waves, Dyrhólaey promontory with its light house and a massive arch in the ocean.

Our first stop will be at Seljalandsfoss, a stunning waterfall that you can walk behind, followed by a visit to the hidden gem of Gljufrabui.

Next, we will head to Skógafoss, one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, and the lesser-known but equally beautiful Kvernufoss. In the same area we’re having lunch in a local restaurant.

Next, we will visit Reynisfjara, a black sand beach with incredible basalt columns and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks.

Our final stop will be at Dyrhólaey, a massive cliff with its lighthouse and a natural arch in the ocean.

Good to know

For a South Coast tour, it would be a good idea for travellers to bring a small backpack to carry essentials such as a camera, extra layers of clothing, gloves, snacks and drinks. Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots would also be recommended. Additionally, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or other head covering can be useful to protect from the sun. A rain jacket or poncho may also be useful during the waterfall sightseeing, it’s really common to get some drizzle on you, or in case of inclement weather. It's also recommended to bring a refillable water bottle as well as a power bank or extra battery for electronic devices.

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Not suitable for pets

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 999 days before departure, then 50% of the price within 6 days. 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.

  1. 1Iceland Adventures ehf 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 999 days before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Who this is not for

  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 11 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
  • Not for last-minute planners — free cancellation ends 999 days before, longer than most tours here.

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