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.

  • Seljalandsfoss

    Síðdegisljósið á Seljalandsfossi er eitt það besta sem þú munt sjá á allri suðurströndinni. Fossinn fellur 60 metra frá bjargbrúninni fyrir ofan og stígur liggur alla leið á bak við fallandi vatnstjaldið (frábær upplifun að mjög fáir fossar hvar sem er í heiminum geta passað. Mælt er eindregið með vatnsheldum fatnaði. Þú verður blautur og það verður þess virði.

  • Gljúfrabúi fossinn

    Gljúfrabúi er falinn inni í þröngu gljúfri í stuttri göngufjarlægð frá Seljalandsfossi og er foss sem flestir gestir á Suðurströndinni finna aldrei. Aðgangur krefst þess að vaða inn í gljúfrið í gegnum grunnt vatn, þar sem foss streymir inn í svalt, lokað steinhólf. Uppgötvunin hér er ósvikin, þetta er eitt best geymda leyndarmál Íslands, rétt við hliðina á einum frægasta markið.

  • Skógafoss

    Skógafoss stjórnar landslaginu. Hann er 60 metrar á hæð og 25 metrar á breidd og myndar varanlega þoku sem grípur og dreifir síðdegisljósinu yfir strandsléttuna. Stigi meðfram fossunum leiðir að útsýnispalli efst 60 metra útsýnið þaðan uppi, sem teygir sig yfir Suðurlandssléttuna í átt að sjónum, er einn sá besti á allri leiðinni.

  • Sólhómajökull

    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.

  • Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

    Leiðin liggur framhjá Reynisfjara, sem er mest helgimynda svarta sandströnd Íslands, þegar ferðin heldur áfram í átt að Dyrhólaey. Leiðsögumaðurinn mun benda á Reynisdrangar sjóstokkana sem rísa upp úr Atlantshafsbriminu og dökku klettasúlurnar sem liggja að ströndinni. Fullt stopp við Reynisfjara er í boði á hefðbundinni suðurstrandarferð fyrir þá sem vilja skoða ströndina í návígi.

  • Dyrhólaey Headland

    Síðasta strandstopp dagsins: stórkostlegt nes sem rís yfir Suðurlandssléttuna með víðáttumiklu útsýni í báðar áttir meðfram svörtu sandströndinni. Náttúrulegi sjóboginn á nesoddinum rammar inn opið Atlantshafið fyrir neðan, og þegar líður á kvöldið, ljósið á strandlengjunni frá þessari hæð er óvenjulegt. Viðeigandi kvikmyndalegt nálægt suðurstrandarleggnum áður en ferðin snýr inn í landið í átt að víkingabænum.

  • 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.

Vinsamlegast athugið

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