About this experience
Private South Coast Tour – Performance Edition
Iceland’s South Coast is wild, dramatic, and unforgettable — and this private tour gives you a completely unique way to experience it. Travel as a passenger in a 500-horsepower, road-legal rally car, combining adrenaline and comfort as you explore waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glaciers.
This is not just a transfer — it’s a one-of-a-kind sightseeing journey that blends the thrill of a high-performance machine with the beauty of Iceland’s most iconic route.
Your Ride – SpiritOur Ford Focus RS is a passion project, carefully upgraded for power, sound, and handling, while remaining fully road legal and comfortable for day tours.
- Turbocharged Engine — Effortless, exciting acceleration
- Intelligent AWD System — Stability and grip on all conditions
- Performance Suspension & Brakes — Smooth, controlled ride
- Custom Exhaust System — A thrilling soundtrack to your journey
- Premium Interior — Modern tech and sport seats for comfort
Note: Spirit has four bookable seats, though it is best suited for three adults and one smaller individual or child, given the car’s compact performance layout.

- Door-to-Door Service — Pickup and drop-off in Reykjavík

This isn’t about racing — it’s about the feeling of the car. From the deep growl of the exhaust to the confident grip of the AWD system, you’ll experience what makes a rally car so special — safely, legally, and always at your comfort level. Whether you prefer a relaxed scenic drive or a more spirited ride, every moment is tailored to your balance of thrill and tranquility.

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.

The driver was super friendly and clearly knows his stuff, which made it even better. It felt safe but still gave that real racing thrill. Totally worth it if you’re into cars or just want to try something different while in Iceland.

I met Daniel earlier in the day on another tour. However, later I needed a ride from the Blue Lagoon to a hotel in Reykjavik with all my luggage. He offered to pick me up in his race car taxi, and I had no idea what to expect. I messaged him from the lagoon to agree on a pick up time. After that, it became a bit surreal... he picked me up right on time in a beautiful blue race car. It was the most fun “taxi" ride l've ever had. In addition, Daniel is an amazing tour guide and took time to show me the sights and tell me about Iceland along the way. Whether you need a tour, a ride to the airport, or want to hunt for the northern lights with one of the most knowledgeable hunters in the field, just call Daniel. You will not regret.

- 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.
