The south coast guided trip offers an expert-led adventure along Iceland’s south coast, providing visitors with an opportunity to discover the natural beauty of the area, including glaciers, black sand beaches, waterfalls, and geological formations, as well as learning about the culture, history and local legends of the region.

Welcome to our south coast private tour, where we’ll take you on an unforgettable adventure through some of Iceland’s most scenic and iconic landmarks.

We’ll start our journey by stopping at the magnificent Seljalandsfoss waterfall, known for its picturesque cascading falls and unique cave behind the water. You’ll have the opportunity to take a walk behind the waterfall and feel the mist of the falls as it crashes down.

Here you’ll see the striking basalt columns and Reynisdrangar sea stacks as well as the roaring waves of the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll have time to take a stroll on the beach and explore the area’s rich history and geology.

Finally, we’ll reach our main destination, the Sölheimajökull glacier.

Our expert guide will lead you on a private hike to the face of the glacier, where you’ll experience the incredible beauty of the ice and learn about its formation and history.
