Your magical day begins when the bus departs Reykjavik in the morning. An early start ensures time to fit in several captivating sights along Iceland's South Coast, including the spectacular Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon in Southeast Iceland.

Although the minimum age for this tour is one year old, it can be a very long day for young children, so please consider this when booking. 

Your South Coast tour takes you past several awe-inspiring landscapes throughout the day. The scenery is diverse, from fertile farmland and mossy lava fields to breathtaking glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls, and beaches.

Weather permitting, you'll see several volcanoes, including Hekla, Eyjafjallajokull, the Westman Islands, Katla, and Oraefajokull. Your journey also passes magnificent glaciers, such as Langjokull, Myrdalsjokull, Vatnajokull, and several smaller outlets.

The South Coast is well known for its stunning waterfalls and beaches. Today, you'll pass waterfalls like Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Systrafoss, and Foss a Sidu. Sandy plains include Skogasandur, Solheimasandur, Myrdalssandur, Skeidararsandur, and Breidamerkursandur.

Your driver will stop at the top attractions on the South Coast so that you have time to immerse yourself in your glorious surroundings. The first stops are at Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, the South Coast's most famous waterfalls. 

Seljalandsfoss looks like something from a fairytale, and its path allows you to walk behind the falls. Ensure you wear your waterproof gear, as you will get wet! 

The Skogafoss waterfall has appeared in movies and TV shows, including Thor: The Dark World, Game of Thrones, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It boasts size, power, and beauty, and the relatively flat terrain at its base allows unbeatable close-up views.

The day's highlight is a visit to the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. You'll get front-row seats with a 30-minute boat ride across the lagoon to see its magnificent icebergs up close. 

These gigantic icebergs break off the retreating Breidarmerkurjokull glacier and float majestically through the lagoon. The landscape is ever-changing, with various sizes and colors of icebergs, so you're guaranteed a unique experience.

After a peaceful cruise around the lagoon, you'll visit the spot where the lagoon's icebergs wash ashore. Diamond Beach features huge ice chunks glittering against jet-black sands, a picture-perfect backdrop for your photos.

On the journey back to Reykjavik, your group will stop at Vik i Myrdal, Iceland's southernmost mainland settlement, for dinner. There you can walk along Reynisfjara, a world-famous black-sand beach. Reynisfjara features dramatic scenery, including the Reynisdrangar sea stacks and towering basalt columns on the shore.

After a full day discovering the South Coast's iconic sites, the bus will drop you back in Reykjavik.
