South Coast Small Group Tour Waterfalls Glacier and Black Beach

11 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

See the best of Iceland's South Coast in a small group with a local driver-guide, not in a big coach. We pick you up at your hotel or cruise terminal and travel in a comfortable vehicle chosen for the size of the group, so the long day stays relaxed with real time at each stop.

Walk behind Seljalandsfoss and find Gljúfrabúi hidden in its canyon. Stand at the foot of the sixty-metre Skógafoss, then walk to the edge of the Sólheimajökull glacier to see the blue and black ice up close.

At Reynisfjara, the famous black sand beach, you see basalt columns, a sea cave and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Lunch is in the village of Vík at your own cost. Your driver-guide shares stories about volcanoes, glaciers and life in the countryside, and drops you back at your hotel in Reykjavík.
