About this experience
Discover Iceland’s spectacular South Coast on a small-group van tour with a knowledgeable local driver-guide. Travel through dramatic landscapes, visit iconic waterfalls, admire a glacier viewpoint, and explore the famous black sand beach of Reynisfjara.

Continue to the impressive Skógafoss waterfall before enjoying views of Sólheimajökull Glacier and its striking blue and black ice formations.
