Iceland South Coast Full Day Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik

Overview

What you’ll do

We’ll kick off the adventure with an easy downtown Reykjavík pickup. Then it’s eastward bound to Iceland’s legendary South Coast, where jaw-dropping views and unforgettable moments await.

Skógafoss is one of Iceland’s most stunning waterfalls, renowned for its majestic 25-meter width and 60-meter drop.

A staircase leads to a viewing platform above the falls, offering breathtaking views of the south coast, the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, and the cascading Skógafoss itself. Whether you admire it from below or take the steps to the top, this iconic waterfall is a must-visit destination for nature lovers.

On-site amenities include restrooms

Sólheimajökull is a glacier tongue, an offshoot off of the main body of Mýrdalsjökull glacier.

We walk towards Sólheimajökull, through the valley it has carved out of the mountain scape and along the glacier river it forms at its base. The valley is a chaotic collection of rocks, gravel and sand which the tongue ground down as it passed over the land.

The glacier is unlike others as it is striped with layers of ash crushed between seasonal layers of ice, but the glacier is surrounded by multiple active volcanic stations.

On-site amenities include restrooms

Reynisfjara, or the Black Sand Beach, is truly a natural marvel. The site offers beautiful basalt columns, a natural arc viewed from afar, troll-like sea stacks and during the summer season there are thousands of puffins which make the cliffs of the Black Sand Beach their home.

We do both sightseeing and the lunch break there. On-site amenities include restrooms and a café/restaurant.

A short photo stop at the photogenic village of Vík. We stop by the town's church where the troll-like basalt stacks and the village provide the perfect background for a selfie.
