Description

Explore Iceland's magnificent South Coast from the comfort of a luxury super jeep by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those eager to see waterfalls, glacier lagoons, and black-sand beaches should book this private tour now.

Your tour starts when your expert English-speaking guide picks you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. This excursion is a private tour, so it will be just you and your party.

There is no need to wait for other guests, and your guide will tailor the tour to your group's interests. Climb aboard the luxury super jeep and get comfortable for your drive to the South Coast.

The first two stops on the tour are Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls. These are two of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, each offering unique experiences for visitors.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall is known for its 197-foot (60-meter) drop, and a path lets you walk behind the waterfall, giving a rare perspective of cascading water.

A bit further along the same route, Skogafoss waterfall stands as another powerful waterfall, dropping about 197 feet (60 meters) but much wider. You can climb the stairs to the top for a bird's-eye view or stay below to feel the spray up close.

Next, you'll visit Solheimajokull glacier, an outlet glacier of the larger Myrdalsjokull ice cap. The glacier constantly changes due to melting, revealing crevasses, ice formations, and ash layers from past volcanic eruptions.

There's a short path leading to a viewpoint at the glacier crest, and from here, you can admire the colors and ice formations of the glacier.

You will stop at the small fishing village of Vik, known for its dramatic black sand beach, Reynisfjara, and the nearby sea stacks called Reynisdrangar. This area attracts many visitors for its stunning coastal scenery and unique geology.

The village is also home to the iconic Vík church, which sits on a hill and offers views of the surrounding area. The village has restaurants, shops, and accommodations despite its small size.

Today's final sights are the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and Diamond beach. Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon is a large glacial lake filled with icebergs that break off from the nearby Breidamerkurjokull glacier, an outlet of the Vatnajokull glacier.

The lagoon connects to the Atlantic Ocean, causing the icebergs to drift out to sea slowly. This process gives the lagoon a constantly changing appearance as ice chunks of various sizes float in the blue water.

Visitors often spot seals swimming in the lagoon, and the nearby Diamond beach, where icebergs wash up on black sand, is another popular attraction.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Enjoy this incredible experience exploring the sights on Iceland's South Coast. Check availability now by choosing a date.
