Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure

Private tour along the south coast of Iceland with your own private driver (upgrade to driver-guide also possible).

The South Shore Adventure is a unique day tour taking you around active volcanoes, in sight of massive glaciers, to beautiful waterfalls and through black sands. Whether bathed in the warmth of the midnight sun or huddling underneath northern lights gliding across the sky, the dark sandscape and rugged edges of a land forged by volcanic activity is sure to cause awe and inspiration.

Visiting Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Skógafoss waterfall in the foothills of the great and infamous Eyjafjallajökull volcano and moving east through the volcanic sands that dominate large portions of the South Coast of Iceland. The tour goes along the Ring Road next to Mýrdalsjökull glacier and on clear days it is possible to see the ice caps and outlet glaciers of both Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. The tour goes as far east as the scenic village of Vík with its black sand beach and busy bird cliffs.

Reynisfjara beach is the southernmost tip of Iceland and going straight out from there the next solid ground you hit is Antarctica around ten thousand miles to the south. There are also the rock formations of Reynisdrangar rising from the sea and basalt columns in the hillside next to the beach providing an amazing background often graced by the presence of puffins in summertime.

Iceland has witnessed numerous volcanic eruptions, with Eyjafjallajökull’s eruptions numbering only five in the last 1100 years. However, the most recent eruption in 2010 garnered significant global attention, thrusting Iceland into the world’s consciousness. Towering at around 5400 feet, this imposing volcano is visible from a considerable distance.

During the 2010 eruption, a section of the ice cap melted, causing the disappearance of a glacier tongue on the north side. The resulting overflow of the Krossá River led to the temporary closure of a segment of the ring road. Besides the two waterfalls in the volcano’s foothills, the surrounding area boasts several picturesque spots, including a peculiar troll bunny and a fence adorned with women’s underwear—an eclectic blend of natural wonders and whimsical landmarks.
