Summary
Description
Explore the sights of Iceland's spectacular South Coast by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those eager to discover waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glaciers should book this private tour now.
Your tour starts when your expert English-speaking guide picks you up. You can choose to be picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavik, Keflavik Airport, or a location of your choice.
This excursion is a private tour, so it will be just you and your party. There's no need to wait for other guests. Your guide can tailor the tour to your group's interests, and you can spend more or less time at each destination.
The first locations on the tour are two waterfalls: Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss. Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss are two of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls, each offering a unique experience.
Skogafoss waterfall, a powerful 200-foot (60-meter) cascade, is known for its impressive width and the mist that creates frequent rainbows on sunny days. You can walk right up to the base or climb the staircase for a view from above.
Seljalandsfoss waterfall, just a short drive away, is famous for the path that takes you behind the waterfall, giving you a different perspective.
You'll also see Solheimajokull glacier. Solheimajokull glacier is located between the volcanoes Katla and Eyjafjallajokull. It's part of the larger Myrdalsjokull ice cap.
The glacier has been shrinking due to climate change, and its melting ice creates small lagoons at its base.
The tour's next stop is Reynisfjara black sand beach. The beach is famous for its dramatic basalt columns, which rise from the sand like giant stepping stones. Offshore, you'll see the Reynisdrangar sea stacks, tall rock formations believed to be trolls turned to stone.
The powerful waves here can be unpredictable, so visitors are advised to stay at a safe distance from the shoreline. Reynisfjara black sand beach offers a unique landscape that's unlike most traditional beaches.
The last stop on the tour is the village of Vik i Myrdal. Vik i Myrdal, often referred to simply as Vik, is a small village on Iceland's south coast. It's the southernmost village in the country. The town has a few shops, restaurants, and a charming church perched on a hill.
The village has just 750 inhabitants, and its beach has been named one of the world's ten best beaches.
At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik to continue your Iceland adventures or to Keflavik International Airport to head home.
