Explore Iceland’s South Coast on a private tour from Reykjavík, visiting waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, and the charming village of Vik.

Iceland's Côte Sud packs more dramatic scenery into a single day than almost anywhere else on earth, and this private full-day tour from Reykjavík gives your group the full experience on your own terms. With a dedicated vehicle and guide reserved solely for you, the day unfolds at a pace that suits your group – no shared coach, no fixed schedule, no compromise.

The tour heads southeast from the capital along the Périphérique, and the first chapter belongs to the waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland's most beloved cascades, and uniquely, a path leads directly behind the curtain of falling water – one of the rare places in the world where you can walk inside a waterfall and look out. Just minutes away, Gljufrabúi is a hidden world of its own: a powerful waterfall concealed inside a narrow rock canyon, accessible only by stepping through a gap in the cliff face. It is one of the South Coast's most rewarding surprises, visited by only a fraction of those who stop at Seljalandsfoss.

Further along the coast, Skógafoss arrives with no subtlety. At 60 metres tall and 25 metres wide, it is one of Iceland's most powerful and photogenic waterfalls. A staircase alongside takes you up above the falls to a viewing platform with sweeping views across the South Coast plain – a perspective that shifts dramatically with every season.

From the waterfall district, the route leads to Sólheimajökull, a glacier tongue descending from the vast Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. A short walk from the car park brings you to the glacier edge, where ancient ice meets dark moraine in a landscape of rare quiet and scale.

The day closes with the South Coast's most theatrical sequence. Dyrhólaey, a dramatic headland at Iceland's southernmost tip, offers sweeping panoramic views along the black sand coastline and out across the open Atlantic. From there, the tour reaches Reynisfjara, Iceland's most celebrated black sand beach – framed by towering basalt columns and the sea stacks of Reynisdrangar standing offshore in the surf. Your guide will give a full safety briefing at the water's edge: this is a beach with genuine power. The coastal village of Vik rounds off the day before your private vehicle returns you to your Reykjavík accommodation.

This is a full-day South Coast experience built entirely around your group – from door to door.

  • Pickup from Reykjavík

    Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Reykjavik. Relax in a clean private vehicle as you travel along Iceland’s scenic South Coast, passing volcanic landscapes, open farmland, and distant mountain views while your guide shares stories about Icelandic nature and culture.

  • Cascade de Seljalandsfoss

    Your first major stop is Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls. Here a graceful stream of water drops from high cliffs once formed by the island’s ancient coastline. If conditions allow, you can walk behind the waterfall for a unique perspective and feel the refreshing mist while enjoying spectacular photo opportunities.

  • Cascade de Gljufrabúi

    Just a short walk away lies the hidden gem of Gljúfrabúi. Partially concealed behind a narrow canyon, this enchanting waterfall feels like a secret discovery. Step carefully through the small gorge and watch the water cascade dramatically inside the cliff walls.

  • Cascade de Skógafoss

    Next, visit the powerful Skógafoss waterfall, where glacial water plunges nearly 60 meters down a wide cliff. The roar of the falls and the rising mist create a magical atmosphere, and on sunny days vibrant rainbows often appear in front of the cascading water.

  • Glacier Sólheimajökull

    Continue to Sólheimajökull Glacier, an impressive outlet glacier extending from the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. Walk toward the glacier viewpoint to see the striking contrast of blue ice, ash layers, and rugged ice formations that showcase Iceland’s dramatic glacial landscapes.

  • Dyrhólaey Viewpoint

    Your journey continues to the dramatic cliffs of Dyrhólaey. From this elevated viewpoint, enjoy sweeping views of the South Coast, black sand beaches, and the powerful Atlantic Ocean crashing against the shoreline. The area is also famous for its massive rock arch extending into the sea.

  • Plage de sable noir de Reynisfjara

    Next, stop at the world famous Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. From the parking area viewpoint, admire the striking contrast of dark volcanic sand, towering basalt columns, and the powerful Atlantic waves. Offshore, the mysterious Reynisdrangar sea stacks rise dramatically from the ocean, creating one of Iceland’s most iconic coastal scenes.

  • Vik village

    Your final stop on the South Coast is the charming village of Vík. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and black sand beaches, this small coastal town offers a peaceful break where you can enjoy the scenery, take photos, or grab a quick refreshment before beginning the return journey.

  • Drop-off in Reykjavík

    After a full day exploring waterfalls, glaciers, and dramatic coastal landscapes, relax on the scenic drive back to Reykjavik. Your guide will drop you off at your accommodation, bringing an unforgettable South Coast adventure to a comfortable end.
