About this experience

Get ready for an amazing day tour to Iceland's beautiful South Coast. We'll take you on a journey through stunning landscapes, where you'll see incredible waterfalls, black sand beaches, and even a glacier. All this in a comfortable small group setting, so you get a more personal experience.


Our adventure starts with a scenic drive from Reykjavik, heading towards the south.


1. Hvolsvöllur

We'll make a short stop in the charming village of Hvolsvöllur. This is a chance for a quick break and to enjoy the scenery as we continue our journey.


2. Skógafoss Waterfall

Prepare to be amazed by the powerful Skógafoss. This huge waterfall plunges down 60 meters, creating a truly impressive sight. You'll have time to take photos, walk around, and feel the spray of the water. Our guide will tell you some interesting facts about this beautiful place.


3. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

Next, we'll visit the famous Reynisfjara black sand beach. You'll be stunned by the unique black sand, the dramatic basalt columns, and the powerful waves crashing on the shore. Enjoy some free time to explore this otherworldly landscape and take some fantastic pictures.


4. Vík í Mýrdal Village

We'll then head to the charming village of Vík í Mýrdal. Here, you'll have a break to relax, grab a bite to eat (not included in the price), and explore this picturesque village nestled amidst the stunning scenery. You'll also get to enjoy the views and take some more photos.


5. Sólheimajökull Glacier:

Get a close-up look at the impressive Sólheimajökull glacier. This massive tongue of ice stretches down from the larger Mýrdalsjökull glacier. You'll have a chance to take photos and admire the incredible glacial landscape. Please note that glacier hikes are not included in this tour.


6. Seljalandsfoss Waterfall:

Our final main stop is the magnificent Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This is a special one because you can actually walk behind it. Feel the mist on your face as you experience this breathtaking waterfall from a unique perspective. You'll have time to explore and take in the beauty.


Throughout the day, our friendly and experienced guide will share interesting stories about Iceland's history, geology, and folklore, making the journey even more enriching. We'll be traveling in a comfortable small group, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.


Join us for an unforgettable day exploring the dramatic and beautiful South Coast of Iceland.

    We did the Grundarfjordur Snaefellsnes tour (small group for cruises) with Lorenzo. It was fantastic. Lorenzo was a great guide, the scenery spectacular. It was a great taste of the Icelandic West Coast. A fabulous day, thank you.

    A brilliant tour with Marcos to the spectacular Dynjandi waterfall and a farm visit. He was witty, friendly and very informative all tour. The coffee and homemade cakes at the farm, plus the adorable horses, were a bonus. Highly recommended 🤩
