Private South Coast tour

Explore the wild, powerful beauty of Iceland and delve deep into the beating heart of our vibrant country. Travel with us through the rugged gems of the South Coast on this day tour: grand waterfalls, volcanic beaches, a glacier tongue, and a charming fishing village surrounded by cliffs full of birds.

The Viking Trail leads us out of Reykjavik towards the prominent agricultural towns of Selfoss and Hvollsvöllur. We make a stop at the ever-popular Seljalandsfoss where, and if conditions allow, we take a walk behind the waterfall’s curtain before paying a visit to its nearby cousin Gljúfrabúi, found hidden from view in the mountainside.

Then it’s back on the road to hunt down yet another of Iceland’s famous waterfalls; this time it’s the impressive Skógafoss with its dramatic 60-meter fall. Here we will take a moment to savor yet another of Mother Earth’s superb creations before heading in the direction of one of the most visited towns in the country: Vík í Mýrdal. This small coastal village is the only one of its kind in the country since it has no harbour. From the church, we can take amazing photos of a fantastic panoramic view not only over the village but also the coast beyond.

Having now reached our most Southern point, we are about to turn and make our way back to the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara where we spend some time exploring and soaking up the atmosphere of these dramatic environs.

But we are not done yet! Back on the Viking Trail we go, this time taking the coast road and heading towards Sólheimajökull glacier. Having now placed a foot upon the glacier, we return to Reykjavik where you will be able to browse through the photos you have taken all day of the magnificent scenery that this tour offers.
