South Coast & Lava Show – Luxury Full Day Experience

Waterfalls, black-sand beaches, volcanic power & real flowing lava

Iceland’s South Coast is one of the country’s most visually spectacular regions, where glaciers, moss-covered cliffs, powerful waterfalls and volcanic shorelines meet the North Atlantic. This premium full-day experience pairs the South Coast’s most iconic landscapes with the award-winning Icelandic Lava Show, the only live lava demonstration in the world.
Designed for travellers who value comfort, storytelling and unhurried pacing, this journey delivers Iceland’s southern wilderness at its most dramatic and luxurious.

Your Luxury Day on the South Coast

Seljalandsfoss – Walk Behind a Waterfall

Your morning begins with a scenic drive to Seljalandsfoss, a graceful cascade you can walk behind. The mist, the glow of daylight through the water and the surrounding cliffs create a magical introduction to the South Coast. Your guide shares local stories and folklore that bring this iconic waterfall to life.

Skógafoss – Thunder, Power & Rainbows

Continue to Skógafoss, a 60-meter curtain of whitewater framed by wide plains and green mountains. Its mist often forms vivid rainbows, making it a favourite for photographers. View it from the base or climb the nearby staircase for sweeping panoramas, either way, Skógafoss is cinematic and unforgettable.

Vík Village – Coastal Views & Lunch at Suður-Vík Restaurant

Next we arrive in Vík, Iceland’s southernmost village, located between volcanic cliffs and the open Atlantic. Enjoy an included lunch at Suður-Vík Restaurant, loved by locals, with fresh soups and Icelandic local dishes while your guide reveals the culture, climate and volcanic history that shape life in this remote coastal community. Suður-Vík Restaurant caters to all dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian options as well.

Immersive Volcanic Experience

The Icelandic Lava Show – Real Flowing Lava

The centrepiece of your day is the Icelandic Lava Show, an exclusive performance where real lava, heated to 1,100°C (2,000°F), is poured onto ice in a powerful recreation of a volcanic eruption.
You’ll feel the heat, hear the crackling and witness molten lava behave exactly as it would in nature.

This is not a simulation.
This is real lava, an electrifying, world-unique experience that brings Iceland’s fiery geology within arm’s reach.

VIP access included: enjoy the refreshment cocktail before the show. 

South Coast Icons

Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach – Basalt Columns & Atlantic Swell

After the show, explore Reynisfjara, the world-famous black-sand beach known for its towering basalt columns, thundering waves and imposing Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Your guide explains the volcanic forces, ocean currents and folklore behind this dramatic landscape.

Dyrhólaey – Panoramic Clifftop Views

Your final stop is Dyrhólaey, a high promontory offering spectacular 360° views of black beaches, sea arches, puffin cliffs (in summer), glacier backdrops and the South Coast stretching endlessly into the horizon. It’s the perfect final vantage point before returning to Reykjavík.

A Scenic, Comfortable Return to Reykjavík

Settle in for the drive back as you pass farmlands, distant glaciers and moss-covered lava fields glowing in the afternoon light. You’ll return to Reykjavík with a camera full of iconic landscapes, and the rare memory of witnessing real flowing lava in person.
