South Coast Tour with a taste of everything

A tour not to be missed, especially when visiting Iceland for the first time. Takes about 1.5 hours to get where you are going in a minibus, but the scenery along the way is worth it, especially if you have a clear day and can see the volcanos and glaciers on the mountains in the distance. seeing the spectacular waterfalls , glacier and the black beach with its crazy sneaker waves and the basaltic rock formations was just amazing. Lori, our guide for the day, made sure we learned a lot of interesting stuff about what was there to see and gave great background information about the country and its people. He was super knowledgeable and could expand on any topic and question. He made sure we were prepared for wind and weather as well as some of the natural conditions along the way. It was a treat to ride with him for the day.

It was great having Franklin as our guide. A big personality and a big person and a big voice. Truly made it a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Truly appreciated Franklin’s personal recommendations about absolutely everything; from eats e.g. Kókómjólk, to vantage viewpoints to best appreciate nature’s beauty @ every scenic spot and pointing out everything noteworthy during the drive. His larger-than-life personality matches his towering stature and there was never a dull moment except when I dozed off. Loved the fact that he generously shared his lovely bass/baritone singing with us too. He was the best guide we met in Iceland, selfless in sharing about anything and everything which gave us aliens much insights to Iceland living. His passion and dedication really shone through in his caring and consideration for us as visitors to Iceland. Thoroughly enjoyed today’s South Coast tour and he definitely was a contributing factor.

We had Dominica as our tour guide yesterday and she was fabulous! Full of interesting facts about Iceland. She was very friendly and personable. Hopefully if you register for this tour you get her as your guide.

Our guide is Filip. He is really professional and friendly. He introduced a lot of stories about the history of the Iceland, and with his musics! We are really into it! Also, he has a very deep knowledge about Iceland. Overall, 5 stars!

he was very entertaining and hilarious! made trip nice and enjoyable , we made the most out of the experience and he gave us good time and great recommendations - thank you

Excellent South Coast Tour

Tour was amazing! Miro was the absolute best! He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. He also communicated thoroughly, was extremely accommodating to our needs and managed time perfectly. Not only are his photos great, but it’s also so nice to have pictures of our whole family together without having had to ask strangers to photograph us with our phones all day. We saw things we would not be able to access or find on our own. This was truly a great experience and I highly recommend Miro and his company!

O…M….G… this was by far the most amazing tour we’ve been on. Our tour guide, Isabella , was an absolute delight! She was so knowledgeable and talkative and warm. We felt instantly comfortable with her. We were very fortunate for an excellent lights display thanks to mother nature, and Isabella took outstanding photographs of our family. We could not be more satisfied with the entire trip and we highly recommend this tour. We want to thank the owner Miro for his prompt communications and excellent service. I rarely write reviews but I would go out of my way to tell everyone how great this tour was!

I can’t give this tour & company enough praise! This is absolutely the first thing you NEED to do when you come to Iceland. It worth every penny. Miro was a fantastic guide and made sure we had the best experience. He took us to the best spots, waited patiently (with good conversation and fantastic hot chocolate) until we saw MORE lights. He was very informative with what to look for and where to look. The icing one the cake was that he took the time to help me with my own personal camera & settings but he also lent me an expensive piece of his camera equipment for TEN DAYS while we were in Iceland…just so I would be able to take better photos and enhance our experience. A great company with even better people running it!

A few years ago we started using guides on our adventures. We have been fortunate enough to have never had a bad or lousy guide. Icelandic Roamers changed the bar: it has been significantly raised. Miro picked us up at our hotel and a rapport was immediately established. He made a point to be certain that our teen was engaged and involved, which was no small feat. Over two days he took us to the usual amazing sites but also to places that never appear in tour guide books. We saw landscapes that could have been the surface of Mars. He rescued a stranded driver in Superman fashion. He allowed us to stay within our own comfort zones of adventure but gently and kindly pressed us, me, to go a bit farther. We are all better for it. Miro kept track of individual personal needs of food, drink, bathroom breaks and individual preferences and even the unmentioned queasiness of heights and steep slopes. He was equipped to address changing weather conditions and terrain. He was even surprised when we all, accidentally, stumbled upon an absolute gem of a coffee shop (Valeria- a must see). While nothing is perfect, the two days exploring portions of Iceland with Icelandic Roamers was as close to perfect as any adventure I/we have ever had. The photo of my wife and I walking toward the ice is an example of Miro’s artistry.

We had a very enjoyable tour of the Golden Circle with Miro who provided additional stops at a number of other tourist sites, including an unexpected, but very enjoyable lunch at the Tomato Farm. Miro was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the sites we visited, he is friendly, affable and great company. I would wholeheartedly recommend Miro and his tours, he is also a great photographer (including drone footage) and knew exactly where the best places were to be to get the best pictures. Later in the week, Miro arranged a south coast tour to the Katla Ice Caves with stops at the Black Sand Beach with "sneaker waves" followed by lunch in Vik at a great pizzeria whose pizzas were on black dough bases!

We had a fantastic time with Miro who went above and beyond our expectations. Miro knew exactly where to take us in his fantastic Landrover Defender which was capable of going anywhere! He took us to a couple of remote locations only known to himself which were totally off road ensuring we weren't disturbed by other tourists or tour bus operators. We were fortunate enough to have a spectacular display and to have Miro our own professional photographer to take as many photos as we wished including great time lapse pictures. Miro even provided hot chocolate to warm us up on a cold night. All in all a great tour, a great experience and a great guide.

Small Group 10 Hour South Coast Tour with Waterfalls & Reynisfjara with Transfer from Reykjavik

Description

Join this small group minibus day tour of Iceland’s South Coast. Witness glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls and the famous Reynisfjara black sand beach on this trip. This tour is perfect for those wanting the best value tour focused on exploring the best spots along Iceland’s magnificent South Coast.

On this tour, you'll see the stunning waterfalls of Seljlandsfoss and Skogafoss, the towering white glacier ice caps, mighty volcanoes, charming Icelandic farms on rolling hillsides, and even some cute puffin colonies if visiting in the summer. The tour covers plenty of stunning sites and will take approximately 10 hours to complete. Keep your camera poised for all the fantastic photo opportunities along your journey.

If you are staying in a guesthouse or a hotel in Reykjavík, you'll be picked up in the morning before starting your journey to explore the amazing South Coast. To ensure you enjoy all of the sites along the way in cosy comfort, this tour is for small groups only – there will never be more than 19 people per group. Make sure to ask any and all questions you have about Icelandic culture, nature and history to your knowledgable guide.

First, you’ll stop at two of South Iceland's most impressive waterfalls, Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, the former being one of Iceland's most powerful waterfalls, sought out by locals and travellers alike.  

Seljalandsfoss is a picturesque cascade, famed for its walking path which allows you to walk behind it in the summer months. Standing behind the thunderous waterfall makes for a surreal and exciting experience. There, you'll encounter an unmatched perspective, as you look out through the pouring water to the surrounding landscapes of green fields and towering lava cliffs.

After visiting South Iceland's two water giants, you’ll make your way to the stunning Reynisfjara black sand beach near the small town of Vík. This beach is famed for its vibrant birdlife and beautiful landscape. There, you are likely to see puffins swarming in search of food around the pyramid-shaped basalt columns that make up Reynisfjara's cliffs during the summer months.

Look out to sea near the shore for a view of the spectacularly shaped sea stacks called Reynisdrangar. Folklore has it that these sea stacks were trolls turned to stone by light having failed to find refuge quick enough.

During the drive to these attractions, you'll see both the mighty Sólheimajökull glacier and the notorious Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano whose 2010 eruption brought European air traffic to a standstill for days.

For your convenience, this tour is operated in brand new minibus with free Wi-Fi onboard. Your experienced guide will tell you stories about the locations and answer all your questions. You'll taste traditional Icelandic snacks, and there will be a stop for lunch so that you won't get hungry. 

Don't miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to see Iceland's magical South Coast.

Tour description

Get ready to see beautiful waterfalls, the famous Black Sand beach, the coastal town of Vík and to be up close and personal with an Iceland glacier. On this small group tour you will emerge yourself into some of Iceland’s best untouched nature. The South Coast is one of the most beautiful regions in Iceland and it is perfect to explore in a day tour from Reykjavik.

WHY I THINK YOU'LL LOVE THIS TOUR! 🧡

If you have only one day in Iceland - do THIS! The South Coast small group tour combines the most exciting & stunning sightseeing spots in Iceland, all in one, fun packed day of adventure.

Powerful waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beach & so much more! Book this tour, get your camera ready & get excited for the unforgettable day ahead!

This was a beautiful tour that allowed me to see the black sand beaches, multiple waterfalls, the town of Vik, and other beautiful landmarks of Iceland. the tour guide, Thor, was phenomenal and made the experience even better as he was knowledgeable and super fun!

We took three tours while in Iceland, each with a different company. We enjoyed all three and would recommend all three, but this was our absolute highlight, because of the outstanding guide, Baldwin. He knew the best way to time our stops to avoid big crowds, and he was extraordinarily informative and interesting. The south coast is not to be missed.

A wonderful tour with Berglind. The tour is well planned and scheduled, this company really lives up its slogan ”we’re not in a hurry”. The guide told us so much about Iceland while driving. Because the weather was so good, Berglind made an extra stop on top of a cliff with a stunning view to the sea and the surroundings. So we got actually more than what we had paid for <3 I really recommend tours by this company especially for those who do not like big groups. It is worth every penny you pay more than for a tour with a big bus.

My husband and I just finished our private South Coast tour with Yandy, our amazing tour guide. The tour and our guide were fantastic. Yandy picked us up from our hotel and took us to many wonderful places. He was incredibly accommodating-offering bottles of water and snacks. We finished our tour with a glacier hike which was Yandy’s expertise. He was knowledgeable and kept us safe and entertained the entire way. He is also an amazing photographer. Yandy is an experienced climber, having recently climbed Mount Everest (he has a great story). We could not have asked for a better tour guide. i would highly recommend for any tour in Iceland. -A Tripadvisor reviewer

Out of all the south coast tours we’ve mentioned, this is the most physically demanding (and rewarding) as you’ll spend three hours on a glacier hike, guided by a very qualified local guide.

This glacier is one of the most interesting ones in Iceland, full of dramatic ice formations, so it’s definitely worth a visit.

Before visiting the glacier, get a chance to see two of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls and a beautiful black sand beach. On your way back to Reykjavik, you’ll also get to spend time enjoying the beautiful view from Dyrholaey, a natural bridge stretching into the ocean.

This tour is also fully private, so the guide can truly make the tour perfect for you and your traveling companions, and will be able to take a lot of amazing photographs for you.

• Start time: Your hotel in Reykjavik at 8:00 am
• Duration: 12 hours
• Includes: Hotel pickup, private transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, entry to sites on the tour, a 3 hour guided glacier hike.

9. Private South Coast In Super Defender With Photographer

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   8-9 hours | ✅  Book it!

Leaving from your hotel (or right next to it) in Reykjavik, you’ll hit all the best spots on the south coast, while driving through otherworldly landscapes the whole way. It will be a 2-2:30 drive to the first waterfall, so just bear that in mind when preparing for the day!

This was the best tour I’ve been on in Iceland for those who really want to see the island. I did the south coast tour with my brothers and Robert was our guide. He showed us some awesome local spots for hiking that had way less traffic and took fantastic photos too. I’ve been to Iceland a few times before and on a few other tours and this was by far the most “nature” focused one. I would recommend it to anyone going, and ask for Robert he was amazing. -A TripAdvisor reviewer

This tour is an amazing opportunity to capture all your memories in Iceland, as you’ll be photographed the whole day by a photographer with a proper camera. He or she will take pictures of both the landscape and your group, to make sure you have souvenirs of the incredible journey.

You’ll be picked up from Reykjavik and driven to two of Iceland’s most impressive waterfalls, before experiencing (and getting pictures of!) the view from Dyrholaey, an impressive land bridge jutting into the water.

Then get a chance to visit the Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, one of the most iconic places in Iceland.

Finally, on your drive back to the city, you’ll get a chance to quickly see Solheimajokull Glacier and Volcano Eyjafjallajokull, the famous Icelandic volcano that most recently erupted in 2010.

• Includes: Hotel pickup and dropoff, private transport, local driver/guide, high-quality photographs sent to you after the tour.

Why do so many people choose our South Coast tours?

If you want to see some of Iceland’s greatest treasures in just one day, our South Coast tour is the perfect choice! That’s because it’s easily reached from Reykjavík and offers a variety of spectacular sights, all packed into one region.

On our South Coast tours, you’ll explore a beautiful coastal plain fringed with volcanoes and waterfalls on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other . Fill your Instagram with the South Coast’s superstar sights, including two towering waterfalls (Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss). 

Thrill at the sight of glaciers like Sólheimajökull, one of the most accessible glaciers in the country, and enjoy an unforgettable stroll on its most iconic black sand beach at Reynisfjara.

There are more than ten thousand waterfalls in Iceland , fueled by crystal-clear meltwater from the dozens of glaciers that cover mountains and volcanoes inland. You’ll see countless more cascades tumbling off the sides of Eyjafjallajökull as we explore the area on our South Coast tours.

And you’ll see a “secret waterfall” called Gljúfrabúi, hidden in a gorgeous rock canyon , and even more cascades when we visit Fjáðrárgljufur if you select our multi-day tour to Jökulsárlón.

More than 10% of Iceland is covered by glaciers, and there are 269 “named” glaciers in the country. These vast rivers of frozen ice have covered Iceland’s mountains and volcanoes for centuries, advancing and receding as the climate changes. Sólheimajökull (Sun’s Home Glacier) is one of the most accessible glaciers in Iceland, part of the mighty Mýrdalsjökull ice cap and the Katla Global Geopark. You’ll have the chance to take an unforgettable hike across its frozen maze of fascinating ice formations, crevasses, and ridges!

Fjaðrárgljúfur (the Feather River Canyon) is one of the most beautiful canyons in Iceland and one of the most accessible too!

It’s a surreal sight – a magnificent winding canyon carved out by a mighty glacial flood that rushed down the River Fjaðrá nine thousand years ago.

Another stunning river canyon can be seen at Gullfoss, where a thrilling two-tier waterfall thunders into a deep ravine. It’s part of the famous Golden Circle route and one of the highlights of the South Coast. You’ll find more details about this iconic attraction here .

National Geographic and TripAdvisor have named Reynisfjara one of the world’s finest beaches .

You’ll soon see why when you see this iconic black sand beach! Stretching as far as the eye can see, Reynisfjara’s jet-black sands lie between pounding Atlantic waves on one side and beautiful basalt columns hugging the cliffs on the other.

And the brooding sea stacks of the Reynisdrangar loom just offshore , looking like something from a film set! Enjoy the mesmerizing views of Dyrhólaey from here, and check out a different perspective when we visit Vík, with its black sand dunes.

Whale Watching

Enjoy an unforgettable whale watching tour in Iceland!

With more than twenty types of whales visiting Iceland every year, it’s one of the best places in the world to take a whale watching tour.

If you’re lucky, you might see a Blue whale, the most enormous creature ever known! Whales and other cetaceans come to Iceland to feed in the nutrient-rich waters, and some stay all year round now. Imagine the joy of seeing whales and dolphins in the wild – you can do that when you visit Iceland!

Explore the land of ten thousand waterfalls on our tours!

Iceland is covered by glaciers and snow-capped mountains, so that means there’s a lot of crystal-clear meltwater tumbling over cliffs and rushing to the sea. Some say there are over 10,000 waterfalls in Iceland, and you’ll see some of the most famous falls on our Golden Circle , South Coast , and Ring Road tours . There are hidden waterfalls, multi-tiered falls, widescreen cascades where rainbows dance on sunny days, and even waterfalls where you can walk behind the waters! We’ll show you some of the best fosses in Iceland – and they’re all easy to reach too!

Volcanic Craters

See Iceland’s spectacular volcanic craters on our tours!

Iceland is less than 20 million years old, created by underwater volcanoes rising up along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge with a pipeline of molten magma straight from the Earth’s burning core. Dozens of volcanoes dot the country, and many are still active, which means you can explore fascinating volcanic formations at different geological stages!

Tours operate between late October to April. 

Lava Caving

Iceland is a hotbed of volcanic activity formed by superheated lava and molten rock from countless eruptions over millions of years. When the lava stops flowing, the top crust cools more quickly, leaving hollow caves and tunnels behind. You can explore these incredible underground spaces when our Silver Circle tours visit The Cave at Víðgelmir in West Iceland.

Our Ring Road tours also feature several geothermal swimming pools around the country, where the locals love to relax too.

Take our tours of Iceland to admire its gorgeous glaciers

Close to the Arctic Circle and just 300 miles wide, Iceland is the perfect place to explore glaciers and ice caps. These frozen blue wonders can be seen easily as you explore Iceland on our Ring Road tours . That’s because outlet glaciers and glacier tongues reach down from  Sólheimajökull on the South Coast and from Vatnajökull in the East right down to the coast, making it easy to get up close to these majestic sights. Centuries of snow and ice have created these incredible glaciers, but they are retreating now due to climate change. Don’t miss your chance to see these marvels while you can!

Glacier Hike

Experience an adventure like no other on a Glacier Hike tour

Did you know that a tenth of Iceland is covered in glaciers and that 269 of them have been named? Iceland is the ideal place to come if you want to explore these natural wonders at close quarters. That’s because our South Coast tours visit Sólheimajökull in South Iceland, where you can strap on crampons and take an unforgettable stroll across this ever-changing environment. Gaze at incredible ice formations, crossing crevasses, and exploring ice caves, all in the hands of knowledgeable expert guides. Note : Our Glacier Hike tours operate between April and October.

Iceland is a country filled with incredible water features, including hot springs, waterfalls, and glacial rivers. But did you know that the word “geyser” comes from here? On our Golden Circle tours , you’ll see the “OG” of geysers everywhere at the Haukadalur Geothermal area. While Geysir has fallen silent recently, nearby Strokkur erupts in steam explosions and spray every few minutes, sending superheated water flying high into the sky. Geysir means “gush” in Icelandic, and that’s where the name comes from! If you book a package with stay in Hveragerði you can also admire smaller cousin of Strokkur that erupts every 15-20 minutes.

Geothermal Areas

Discover Iceland’s active geothermal areas on our tours

Iceland’s fiery volcanic origins mean it’s a hothouse of geothermal activity with several colorful geothermal areas you can explore on our tours. The Blue Lagoon is the most famous, close to the airport, and you can visit the Haukadalur Geothermal Area on our Golden Circle tours .

At Stuðlagil, you’ll see twisting basalt columns line a gorgeous glacial river canyon, a magnificent location that has only recently been discovered. Fjaðrárgljúfur (Feather River Canyon) is a surreal sight – a marvelous sheer-walled river canyon covered in blankets of velvet-green moss. 

Our tours will take you straight to the most spectacular sights in Iceland, but there are ways of getting even closer if you want to! At the Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón), you can jump into an amphibious vehicle for an unforgettable tour around the lagoon, sailing amongst the glittering giants.
