Exciting 11-Hour Small-Group South Coast Tour with Glacier Hike from Reykjavik

Explore the stunning South Coast of Iceland with this all-day small-group tour from Reykjavik. Travelers interested in top attractions such as Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, and Reynisfjara black sand beach should book this tour today. 

Your 11-hour tour starts in Reykjavik when your guide picks you up from your accommodation. Enjoy the drive to the South Coast, which takes around two hours, in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle while you get to know your guide and watch the beautiful scenery outside your window.

The first stop today is the incredible Seljalandsfoss waterfall, a 200-foot (60-meter) beauty that is one of the most popular attractions in the region. This waterfall is particularly unique because you are able to walk all the way around the falls and enjoy the view through the water from the cavern behind. 

After Seljalandsfoss, you will head to another impressive South Coast waterfall: Skogafoss. Skogafoss waterfall is a similar height to Seljalandsfoss but twice as wide and incredibly powerful. Expect to get wet if you get close!

Next, you will go to the nearby Solheimajokull glacier, a tongue of the massive Myrdalsjokull glacier. Here, you will embark on a short but beautiful hike that provides unbelievable views of the glacier and the valleys and mountains beyond. 

Once you return to your car, it is time to take a break and warm up with some hot coffee and an Icelandic snack. Once you are rested, your day continues!

The final stop of the day is the awe-inspiring Reynisfjara black sand beach. The striking ebony sands contrast with massive crashing waves, and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the Atlantic complete the stunning scene. 

The drive back to Reykjavik takes about two-and-a-half hours. Your guide will drop you off at your accommodation in the evening, giving you plenty of time to enjoy a nice dinner in Reykjavik. 

This is a small-group tour with a max of three guests, ensuring that you have a more private experience and the full attention of your guide. Since it is a semi-private tour, there is more flexibility, and the itinerary can be modified to best fit the group’s desires. 

Be sure to dress appropriately for this tour, and remember that Icelandic weather can be unpredictable. Warm, waterproof layers are recommended, and sturdy hiking boots are required for the glacier hike. A hat, gloves, water bottle, and snacks are a good idea.
