Summary
Description
Explore the sights of Iceland's spectacular South Coast by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those eager to see the beautiful Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and waterfalls should book this private tour now.
Your tour starts when your guide picks you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. You will be transported in a super jeep, a specially modified vehicle that can cope easily with Iceland's rugged terrain.
This excursion is a private tour, so it will be just you and your party. There's no need to wait for other guests, and your guide can tailor the tour to your interests. You'll have plenty of opportunities to ask your guide questions about the South Coast.
The first stops on the tour will be two spectacular waterfalls: Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Seljalandsfoss waterfall is unique because visitors can walk behind the cascading water, offering a rare perspective of the waterfall.
It's about 200 feet (60 meters) tall and easily accessible from the main road. Skogafoss waterfall, just a short drive away, is taller at around 197 feet (60 meters) and is known for its powerful flow.
You can climb the stairs to a viewing platform for stunning views or explore the base, often decorated with rainbows on sunny days.
Next up, you'll visit the charming village of Vik. Vik is a small village known for its dramatic black sand beaches and towering sea stacks. It's the southernmost settlement in Iceland.
One of the main attractions is Reynisfjara black sand beach, which is famous for its volcanic sand and striking basalt columns. The village is also close to several sights like the Dyrholaey cliffs, a rocky promontory offering great coast views.
Next, you'll visit the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon is one of Iceland's most popular natural attractions. Located at the edge of the Vatnajokull National Park, the lagoon is filled with icebergs that break off from the glacier and float in the water.
Some icebergs are small, while others are massive, creating an ever-changing landscape. Visitors can take boat tours to get closer to the icebergs or admire the view from the shore.
The lagoon also connects to the ocean, and seals are often spotted swimming in the water. Next to the lagoon, you'll find Diamond beach. The beach gets its name from the large chunks of ice that wash up on the black sand, resembling scattered diamonds.
These icebergs come from the glacier and are carried out to sea by the lagoon before being pushed back onto the shore by the tides. The contrast between the clear, blue-tinted ice and the dark volcanic sand creates a striking scene.
At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
