Description

Book this incredible guided excursion to discover Iceland's spectacular South Coast and the waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches it's known for. Those eager to explore the beautiful scenery of the South Coast should book this small group tour now.

Your tour starts when you are picked up from the agreed-upon meeting point in central Reykjavik. There, you'll meet your expert English-speaking guide and the other guests on the tour.

This excursion is a small group tour, so you will have plenty of time with your guide and can ask any questions.

Get comfortable on board the coast as your driver takes you to the South Coast. There's free Wi-Fi on board, so you can catch up on emails or get in touch with friends or family during the drive.

On the tour, you'll visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls.

It's around 197 feet (60 meters) tall and has a unique feature that sets it apart—visitors can walk behind the waterfall for a different perspective and a closer experience with the cascading water. The path behind the falls can be slippery, so good footwear is recommended.

You'll also see another waterfall, Skogafoss. Skogafoss waterfall is a large and powerful waterfall known for its impressive 197-foot (60-meter) drop and 82-foot (25-meter) width. It's located near the village of Skogar.

The waterfall produces a lot of mist, often creating rainbows on sunny days. A staircase alongside the falls allows visitors to climb to the top for a different view, offering a stunning panorama of the surrounding landscape.

Next, you'll visit Reynisfjara black sand beach. The beach is famous for its dramatic black volcanic sand, powerful waves, and unique basalt sea stacks called Reynisdrangar.

These towering rock formations rise out of the ocean just offshore, adding to the beach's otherworldly appearance. The surrounding cliffs also feature fascinating basalt columns that resemble a wall of organ pipes.

While Reynisfjara black sand beach is a popular tourist destination, be cautious of the strong waves, known as "sneaker waves," which can be dangerous. The beach is a must-see for its unusual and stunning landscape.

The last stop on this tour is the Solheimajokull glacier. It is located between the volcanoes Katla and Eyjafjallajokull. Solheimajokull is an outlet glacier of the larger Myrdalsjokull ice cap and is about 5 miles (8 kilometers) long.

Solheimajokull glacier is known for its striking landscape, featuring deep crevasses, blue ice formations, and volcanic ash layers.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to central Reykjavik so you can continue to explore Iceland.

Enjoy this fantastic experience exploring the stunning South Coast of Iceland on a small group tour. Check availability now by choosing a date.
