Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier Tour from Reykjavik

Explore Iceland's South Coast on a private tour from Reykjavík with your own driver-guide: Seljalandsfoss, Gljúfrabúi, Skógafoss, Sólheimajökull glacier, Dyrhólaey, Reynisfjara and Vík, at your pace, with door-to-door pickup.

Iceland's South Coast packs waterfalls, glaciers and black sand beaches into one unforgettable day. You could see it from a crowded coach. Or you could see it like this.

This is a fully private tour. Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you for the day. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises. If you want more time behind the curtain of Seljalandsfoss or on the black sand at Reynisfjara, you take it. The day is yours.

You'll walk behind the falling water at Seljalandsfoss and slip through a narrow gap in the rock to find Gljúfrabúi hidden inside its canyon. At Skógafoss, spray drifts over you as a wide wall of water drops from the old sea cliffs. At Sólheimajökull an easy path leads you to the edge of the glacier, where blue ice and black ash layers meet. Then the coast opens up: the sea arch and cliffs of Dyrhólaey, the basalt columns and roaring waves of Reynisfjara, and the little village of Vík beneath its green hills.

Throughout the day your driver-guide is right there, sharing stories, small legends and practical tips about Iceland's nature, history and culture, so you don't just see the South Coast, you understand why it is so special.

Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area, including the cruise terminals, is included. The order of stops may be adjusted on the day due to weather or road conditions.

Choose a Private Sedan for 1-3 guests or a Private Van for up to 8 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.

Please note

Your booking

You will receive your booking confirmation right after you book.
Please count everyone in your group, including children and infants, as everyone needs their own seat.
We pick up and drop off at any accommodation in the Capital Area and at the cruise terminals in Reykjavík and Hafnarfjörður. Staying somewhere else? Send us a message before you book and we will gladly help.
Arriving by cruise ship? We plan the start time and the route around your ship's schedule, so you are back at the port well before all-aboard time. This is a long day, so it works best when your ship stays in port for the whole day or overnight.

Walking and accessibility

This tour involves easy walks on uneven natural paths that can be wet, muddy or icy, so it is not suitable for guests with serious mobility limitations. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
At Sólheimajökull we walk to the edge of the glacier and do not go onto the ice, so no glacier guide or special equipment is needed.
Reaching Gljúfrabúi means stepping over stones in a shallow stream. It is optional, and waterproof shoes help.

Beach safety

At Reynisfjara, sneaker waves can run far up the beach without warning. Please stay well back from the water and follow your guide's advice.

Children

Children of all ages are welcome. Parents or guardians look after their children during the tour.
