Captivating 10-Hour South Coast & Ice Cave Exploration Tour from Reykjavik

Journey deep into one of Iceland’s most impressive regions and explore a natural glacier wonder in this captivating South Coast and ice cave exploration tour from Reykjavik. This 10-hour adventure is perfect for travelers looking to discover Iceland’s diverse nature, with hidden gems and iconic attractions.

Your thrilling journey begins when an experienced guide picks you up from your hotel in Reykjavik. You’ll then board a 4x4 super jeep, the perfect vehicle for driving off the beaten path. A super jeep offers a comfortable ride, especially when passing through challenging obstacles and deeper water crossings.

Your first stop is the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic and breathtaking waterfalls. Nestled amidst the pristine natural beauty of the South Coast, the Seljalandsfoss waterfall boasts a unique feature: visitors can walk behind the cascading curtain of water, providing an immersive and awe-inspiring experience like no other.

Be sure to take advantage of this feature, as not too many waterfalls around the world offer such a unique experience.

Another South Coast attraction you’ll visit is the Skogafoss waterfall, one of the country’s largest and most powerful waterfalls. Skogafoss waterfall stands 60 meters (197 feet) tall, spans an impressive 25 meters (82 feet) wide, and captivates visitors with its thunderous roar and misty atmosphere.

As you get close to the Skogafoss waterfall, focus on its mighty cascade and the spray it produces. Because of its sheer strength, the Skogafoss waterfall’s cascade creates at least one rainbow at any time.

Your next destination is one of the most fascinating sites in South Iceland: the Solheimasandur DC3 plane wreck. Nestled amidst the vast and desolate black sands of Solheimasandur, the plane wreck features the remains of an abandoned United States Navy Douglas DC3 aircraft that has become an enduring symbol of Iceland's rugged beauty and eerie charm.

Since the tragic crash, Iceland’s harsh weather conditions, led by heavy rainfall and freezing gales, caused the aircraft to lose some parts. Today, you’ll only see half of the plane’s tail, and its wings are already detached from the body.

After taking pictures around the area, you’ll head to the Myrdalsjokull glacier, where you’ll find the Askur ice cave. Askur is a natural ice cave and the closest one from Reykjavik.

Your journey toward the Askur ice cave starts at the Myrdalsjokull Base Camp. From there, the guide will take you into the Myrdalsjokull glacier, with various geological wonders surrounding you.

Since you’re on board a super jeep, driving through rugged terrains will not be a problem. You’ll see and explore the Myrdalsjokull glacier’s extraordinary landscape safely. Before entering the cave, you’ll don crampons and other safety gear.

You’ll see various breathtaking ice formations as you enter the ice cave. As sunlight filters through the glacier, the ice caves come alive with a soft, azure, enchanting, surreal glow. Moreover, you’ll learn the history and science behind the ice cave, and you may ask the guide any questions you may have about the ice cave.

After exploring and enjoying the mesmerizing ice cave, you’ll head back to Reykjavik, still on board the super jeep. During the trip back to your hotel, you can revisit your photos and reflect on the marvelous wonders you’ve just witnessed.
