About this experience
On the South Coast tour, you journey to Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss which are both beautiful waterfalls on the south coast of Iceland, as well as Sólheimajökull, a glacier. We also go to the wonderful Reynisfjara (the Black Sand Beach), home of the puffins. At last, we will visit Vík í Mýrdal, the southernmost village on the Icelandic mainland.
Seljalandsfoss is about 60 meters (200 ft) high, and you can get really close to it. The water from the river is super fresh and good to drink.
Skógarfoss. The drop of the water is about 60 meters (200 ft) high and 25 meters (82 ft) wide. There are a few ways to admire the waterfall, either from the steps on the right side of the waterfall where you have a beautiful view from above, or right in front of it where you can feel all of its power.
Sólheimajökull. We do have many glaciers in Iceland, especially on the south coast of the island. We stop at Sólheimajökull which is a glacier and is located between two of our most famous volcanoes, Eyjafjallajökull and Katla. The glacier is part of a bigger one called Mýrdalsjökull and is fairly accessible.
Black Beach. Reynisfjara. Nature is beautiful at the Black Sand Beach and the basaltic columns
by the beach are one of a kind. The three cliffs called Reynisdrangar rise up in the ocean with
the island Dyrahólaey not far away, making it one of the most stunning phenomenon in our
country.
Vík í Mýrdal. The southernmost village on the Icelandic mainland with 750
inhabitants. In 1991, the US journal Islands Magazine counted the beach at Vík as one of the ten most beautiful beaches on Earth.

Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.
Why we list it
Protour.is is one of 207 operators we work with — chosen for reliability, honest descriptions and how they treat guests when weather changes plans. We don't list everything; we list what we'd book ourselves. The six checks every operator passes →
Read before you book
- 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.
