Experience the natural wonders of Iceland’s South Coast on an 10-hour guided excursion from Reykjavik, perfect for travelers of all ages eager to discover majestic waterfalls, volcanic black-sand beaches and breathtaking landscapes!

The South Coast is one of Iceland’s most iconic regions, known for its dramatic scenery and unique natural sites. This full-day adventure promises wonder, serenity and unforgettable moments at every stop.

Your journey begins in Reykjavik, where you’ll board a comfortable minibus with free Wi-Fi and meet your local guide. After a quick briefing, it’s time to head south! Your first pause will be in Hvolsvöllur, a short break to stretch your legs and enjoy the views.

Your first major highlight is the spectacular Skógafoss. This 60-meter waterfall is one of Iceland’s most famous, often crowned with rainbows as its powerful spray catches the light. You’ll have plenty of time to walk around, take photos and listen to your guide’s stories and fun facts about this legendary spot.

Next, you’ll make your way to the iconic Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Its volcanic sand, towering basalt columns and the roaring waves of the North Atlantic create one of the most surreal landscapes in the country. You’ll enjoy some free time to explore and take in this otherworldly setting.

Your adventure continues toward the charming coastal village of Vík í Mýrdal. Here, you can relax, enjoy lunch (not included) and browse local shops for souvenirs. Don’t forget to capture the postcard-worthy view of the village church overlooking the ocean.

In the afternoon, you’ll stop at Sólheimajökull, a glacier tongue extending from the mighty Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. It’s a fantastic place to admire shimmering ice formations created by the glacier’s movement. (Please note that glacier hikes are not included in this tour.)

Your final main stop is the magnificent Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, famous for its path that leads behind the cascade itself. Feel the mist on your face and enjoy this rare perspective for a memorable end to your day.

After a series of incredible discoveries, you’ll head back to Reykjavik with unforgettable memories and a camera full of Iceland’s most iconic sights.
