Incredible 8-Hour Private South Coast Day Tour from Reykjavik with Optional Activities

Embark on an exciting trip to one of Iceland's most captivating regions on this private day tour of the South Coast. This eight-hour adventure is perfect for travelers looking to see Iceland's incredible natural wonders with the option of adding a few thrilling activities.

Your day full of action begins when a friendly local guide picks you up from your hotel in Reykjavik. You'll ride a private vehicle that will keep you comfortable during the drive to the South Coast and its various attractions. Your first stop for the day is the Seljalandsfoss waterfall.

One of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss stands 200 feet (60 meters) tall and boasts a unique feature no other waterfall in the country offers. The Seljalandsfoss waterfall lets you walk behind its cascading water for an unforgettable experience.

Next, you'll head to the stunning Reynisfjara beach. Known for its striking black volcanic sand, Reynisfjara is bordered by towering basalt columns, which rise like natural sculptures. 

As you explore the beach and appreciate the black sand, you'll notice the Reynisdrangar sea stacks, which are the jagged rock formations jutting out of the Atlantic Ocean. According to Icelandic folklore, these columns were once trolls turned to stone by the sunlight. 

As noontime approaches, you'll head to the charming town of Vik for lunch at a local restaurant. While in Vik, you'll get another chance to marvel at the Reynisdrangar sea stacks and the Dyrholaey cliffs, your next destination.

Dyrholaey is a natural arch carved by the powerful Atlantic Ocean. The Dyrholaey cliffs stand 390 feet (120 meters) high, making it an ideal viewpoint to see the surrounding landscapes. 

From the top of Dyrholaey, you can enjoy panoramic views of the black sand beaches stretching toward the village of Vik. There are also the Reynisdrangar sea stacks that you won't get tired of looking at. On clear days, you can even see the Myrdalsjökull glacier in the distance. In addition, visiting Dyrholaey means adorable puffins may fly around the area.

Before returning to your hotel in Reykjavik, you'll stop at the majestic Skogafoss waterfall. One of Iceland's most iconic and captivating natural wonders, Skogafoss waterfall stands 197 feet (60 meters) high and spans 82 feet (25 meters) wide. The sheer size and force of its cascading water create a stunning mist that often produces beautiful rainbows on sunny days.

Moreover, a staircase will take you to the top of the waterfall, where you can enjoy the scenic views of glaciers and black sand beaches. If you're adventurous, you may add an extra activity when booking this tour. You can go snowmobiling at the Solheimajokull glacier or head to the Solheimasandur desert to see the famous DC plane wreck.

If you like something less tiring, you can visit the LAVA Center for an interactive exhibit about Iceland's dynamic volcanic history. You may also book a trip to the Skogar museum to see one of Iceland's largest collections of regional artifacts.

At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to your hotel in Reykjavik as you carry with you the unforgettable memories of your South Coast adventure.
