This private full-day tour from Reykjavík takes everything that makes Iceland's South Coast remarkable and adds two ingredients that make it genuinely different: a guided walk to the tongue of Sólheimajökull Glacier and a legendary black pizza lunch in Vík, included in the price.
The day begins with a drive east to the glacier. The walk to the edge of Sólheimajökull is accessible to guests of all fitness levels – there is no ice climbing, no crampons required, and no experience necessary. You simply walk to the glacier's tongue and stand at the boundary of ancient ice and open landscape. It is unhurried, striking, and one of those stops that stays with you long after the day is over.
From there, the tour moves through some of the most dramatic scenery on the South Coast. Dyrhólaey offers panoramic views from a headland high above the Atlantic. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach lines the shore with towering dark rock columns and the offshore Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Then comes Vík and the black pizza – a pizza baked with activated charcoal in its crust, available only here, and included as part of your tour. It is one of the most talked-about culinary stops in Iceland.
The return west brings you to the waterfall trio: the towering Skógafoss with its climbable staircase, the crowd-pleasing Seljalandsfoss where a path leads behind the falling water, and the secret of the South Coast – Gljúfrabúi, a hidden cascade tucked inside a narrow canyon that most visitors walk straight past.
Your dedicated guide and private vehicle are reserved for your group alone throughout the entire day. No shared passengers, no fixed pace – just a full day on the South Coast, built around your group.
Your private vehicle picks you up directly from your Reykjavík accommodation at the agreed time. No transfer, no assembly point – the tour starts from your front door. Pickup time will be confirmed 24 hours in advance.
The first stop of the day is Sólheimajökull, one of Iceland's most accessible glaciers. The walk follows a well-trodden path to the glacier's tongue – the outermost edge of the ice – where you can observe the glacier up close without setting foot on it. No crampons, no ice-climbing equipment, and no prior experience are required. The walk is suitable for older guests and those with a moderate level of fitness. For those wishing to hike onto the glacier itself, guided ice tours are available on-site at extra cost.
A dramatic headland rising above the South Coast plain, Dyrhólaey offers sweeping panoramic views stretching in both directions along the coastline. The natural sea arch at the tip of the promontory frames the Atlantic below, and on clear days the visibility extends far across the black sand shore. Puffins nest on the cliffs here seasonally.
Lunch stop in Iceland's southernmost village – and the home of Iceland's famous black pizza, included in your tour. The pizza is baked with an activated charcoal crust and has become one of the most talked-about food stops in the country. Vík also has local shops and a striking hilltop church with views down to the black sand coastline below.
Iceland's most iconic black sand beach stretches along the base of towering dark rock columns rising directly from the shore. The Reynisdrangar sea stacks stand offshore in the churning Atlantic surf, and the beach carries a raw, elemental atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the country. Your guide will advise on safe viewing distances from the water's edge – the waves here can be unpredictable.
Among Iceland's largest and most powerful waterfalls, Skógafoss stands 60 metres high and 25 metres wide and generates a permanent mist that catches the light year-round. A staircase beside the falls climbs to a viewing platform at the top, rewarding those who make the ascent with sweeping views across the South Iceland plain toward the coast.
Hidden inside a narrow canyon just a short walk from Seljalandsfoss, Gljúfrabúi is a waterfall most visitors miss entirely. Access requires wading into the gorge through shallow water, where a cascade pours into an enclosed stone chamber. One of the South Coast's most rewarding detours – and one of its best-kept secrets.

After a full day of glaciers, waterfalls, cliffs, and black sands, relax on the drive back to Reykjavík.

Iceland has shown you its magic, power, and beauty, you’ll leave with memories that last a lifetime!
