Private South Coast Tour and Viking Story Night with Icelandic Tasting
This private tour pairs the South Coast in the afternoon light with an evening you will talk about for years: the Viking Story Night at Efri-Úlfsstaðir, a family horse farm on the land of Njál's Saga. This is a fully private tour. Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you from the afternoon until the drive home. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises. Your afternoon takes in the path behind Seljalandsfoss, the hidden canyon of Gljúfrabúi, the wide wall of water at Skógafoss, the edge of Sólheimajökull glacier, the basalt columns and waves of Reynisfjara and the cliffs of Dyrhólaey. In the evening you arrive at the farm. You meet the Icelandic horses in the stable, then take a seat at a long wooden table in a candlelit barn, wrapped in a traditional wool cape if you like. A local storyteller brings the sagas, elves and trolls to life while you taste traditional Icelandic food and drink: fermented shark, dried fish, smoked lamb, Brennivín and Icelandic malt. It is a tasting, not a full dinner. Throughout the day your driver-guide shares stories, small legends and practical tips about Iceland's nature, history and culture. Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area, including the cruise terminals, is included. The order of the afternoon stops may be adjusted on the day due to weather or road conditions. Choose a Private Sedan for 1-3 guests or a Private Van for up to 8 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.

Good to know
- Your booking
- You will receive your booking confirmation right after you book.
- Please count everyone in your group, including children and infants, as everyone needs their own seat.
- We pick up and drop off at any accommodation in the Capital Area and at the cruise terminals in Reykjavík and Hafnarfjörður. Staying somewhere else? Send us a message before you book and we will gladly help.
- Arriving by cruise ship? We plan the start time and the route around your ship's schedule, so you are back at the port well before all-aboard time. This is a long day, so it works best when your ship stays in port for the whole day or overnight.
- The tour starts in the early afternoon. The Viking Story Night begins at 8 pm and lasts about 1.5 hours, so you are back in the Capital Area late in the evening.
- Walking and accessibility
- This tour involves easy walks on uneven natural paths that can be wet, muddy or icy, so it is not suitable for guests with serious mobility limitations. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
- At Sólheimajökull we walk to the edge of the glacier and do not go onto the ice, so no glacier guide or special equipment is needed.
- Reaching Gljúfrabúi means stepping over stones in a shallow stream. It is optional, and waterproof shoes help.
- Beach safety
- At Reynisfjara, sneaker waves can run far up the beach without warning. Please stay well back from the water and follow your guide's advice.
- Children
- Children are welcome. The stories and the tasting suit families with older children best. Parents or guardians look after their children during the tour.
