A private South Coast afternoon from Reykjavík with waterfalls, a glacier and a black sand beach, ending at a horse farm for the Viking Story Night: sagas by candlelight, Icelandic horses and a traditional tasting.

This private tour pairs the South Coast in the afternoon light with an evening you will talk about for years: the Viking Story Night at Efri-Úlfsstaðir, a family horse farm on the land of Njál's Saga.

This is a fully private tour. Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you from the afternoon until the drive home. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises.

Your afternoon takes in the path behind Seljalandsfoss, the hidden canyon of Gljúfrabúi, the wide wall of water at Skógafoss, the edge of Sólheimajökull glacier, the basalt columns and waves of Reynisfjara and the cliffs of Dyrhólaey.

In the evening you arrive at the farm. You meet the Icelandic horses in the stable, then take a seat at a long wooden table in a candlelit barn, wrapped in a traditional wool cape if you like. A local storyteller brings the sagas, elves and trolls to life while you taste traditional Icelandic food and drink: fermented shark, dried fish, smoked lamb, Brennivín and Icelandic malt. It is a tasting, not a full dinner.

Throughout the day your driver-guide shares stories, small legends and practical tips about Iceland's nature, history and culture.

Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area is included. The order of the afternoon stops may be adjusted on the day due to weather or road conditions.

Choose a Private Sedan for 1-3 guests or a Private Van for up to 8 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.

Pick-up in the Capital Area
Your driver-guide picks you up at your accommodation anywhere in the Capital Area in the early afternoon, and you head east along the South Coast.
Cascade de Seljalandsfoss
La lumière de l'après-midi sur Seljalandsfoss est parmi les plus belles que vous verrez sur toute la côte sud La cascade descend à 60 mètres de la falaise au-dessus, et un chemin mène tout le chemin derrière le rideau d'eau qui tombe ; une expérience immersive que très peu de cascades partout dans le monde peuvent égaler Des vêtements imperméables sont fortement recommandés Vous serez mouillé, et cela en vaudra la peine.
Cascade de Gljufrabúi
Caché à l'intérieur d'une gorge étroite à quelques pas de Seljalandsfoss, Gljufrabúi est une cascade que la plupart des visiteurs de la côte sud ne trouvent jamais L'accès nécessite de patauger dans le canyon par des eaux peu profondes, où une cascade se déverse dans une chambre en pierre fraîche et fermée Le sens de la découverte ici est authentique : c'est l'un des secrets les mieux gardés d'Islande, juste à côté de l'un de ses sites les plus célèbres.
Cascade de Skógafoss
Skógafoss commande le paysage Debout de 60 mètres de haut et 25 mètres de large, il génère une brume permanente qui attrape et disperse la lumière de l'après-midi à travers la plaine côtière Un escalier le long des chutes mène à une plate-forme d'observation au sommet (la vue de là-haut), s'étendant à travers la plaine du sud de l'Islande vers la mer, est l'un des plus beaux de tout le parcours.
Glacier Sólheimajökull
The afternoon is the finest time to visit Sólheimajökull. As the light drops lower in the sky, it catches the surface of the glacier in a way photographs struggle to record. A short walk from the car park brings you to the glacier's edge: ancient ice, deep silence and a scale that quietly adjusts your sense of the world.
Plage de sable noir de Reynisfjara
L'itinéraire passe par la plage de sable noir la plus emblématique d'Islande Reynis La plage de sable noir d'Islande (en anglais seulement) La visite continue vers Dyrhóaey Votre guide indiquera les piles marines de Reynisdrangar s'élevant des vagues de l'Atlantique et les colonnes de roche sombre qui bordent le rivage Un arrêt complet à Reynisfjara est disponible sur la visite standard de la côte sud pour ceux qui souhaitent explorer la plage de près.
Dyrhólaey Headland
La dernière étape côtière de la journée : un promontoire spectaculaire s'élevant au-dessus de la plaine du sud de l'Islande avec des vues panoramiques panoramiques panoramiques dans les deux sens le long du rivage de sable noir L'arche naturelle de la mer à la pointe du promontoire encadre l'Atlantique ouvert en contrebas, et à l'approche du soir, la lumière sur le littoral de cette hauteur est extraordinaire Une cinématique à juste titre proche de la jambe de la côte sud avant que la visite ne tourne vers l'intérieur des terres en direction de la ferme viking.
Viking Story Night at Efri-Úlfsstaðir
On the historic land of Njál's Saga, one of the greatest stories in Icelandic literature, the working farm of Efri-Úlfsstaðir hosts the Viking Story Night every evening. You are welcomed into the stable to meet the Icelandic horses, then seated at a long wooden table in a candlelit barn as a local storyteller shares the sagas alongside tales of elves, trolls and a thousand years of life on this land. A tasting of traditional Icelandic food and drink accompanies the evening. This is not a performance. It is a gathering, quiet, personal and unlike anything else on the South Coast.
Drop-off in the Capital Area
The drive home passes through the quiet South Iceland night. We drop you off where we picked you up, anywhere in the Capital Area.

Veuillez noter

Your booking

You will receive your booking confirmation right after you book.
Please count everyone in your group, including children and infants, as everyone needs their own seat.
We pick up and drop off at any accommodation in the Capital Area. Staying somewhere else? Send us a message before you book and we will gladly help.
This tour is not available for cruise ship passengers, as the day is too long for a port call.
The tour starts in the early afternoon. The Viking Story Night begins at 8 pm and lasts about 1.5 hours, so you are back in the Capital Area late in the evening.

Walking and accessibility

This tour involves easy walks on uneven natural paths that can be wet, muddy or icy, so it is not suitable for guests with serious mobility limitations. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
At Sólheimajökull we walk to the edge of the glacier and do not go onto the ice, so no glacier guide or special equipment is needed.
Reaching Gljúfrabúi means stepping over stones in a shallow stream. It is optional, and waterproof shoes help.

Beach safety

At Reynisfjara, sneaker waves can run far up the beach without warning. Please stay well back from the water and follow your guide's advice.

Enfants

Children are welcome. The stories and the tasting suit families with older children best. Parents or guardians look after their children during the tour.
