South Coast Adventure Private Tour

About this experience

The breathtaking south coast of Iceland is waiting for you. After we leave Reykjavík, our first stop is Seljalandsfoss, a stunning waterfall where visitors can walk behind the cascading water and feel the mist on their face.

Next, we'll visit Skógafoss, another impressive and well known waterfall with a 60 meters drop that creates stunning rainbows during sunny days.

After that, we'll head to the Black Sand Beach, where you can walk on the black volcanic sand and its basalt columns, caves, and Reynisdrangar, that are basalt sea stacks that rise from the ocean just off the shore.

The highlight of the tour will be at Sólheimajökull, an outlet glacier where we'll be doing a guided glacier hiking and ice climbing experience. Our experienced guide will take you on a journey through the beautiful and otherworldly landscapes of the glacier while teaching you about its geology and history.

This tour offers a great combination of natural beauty, adventure, and education.
