Every region of Iceland is fantastic, but the South Coast is my favorite! It’s one of the most picturesque and beautiful parts of Iceland. Not many roads will allow you to admire so many wonders of Icelandic nature in one day.
For a good reason, that unique region it’s often used in movies and music productions.
Experience Iceland’s breathtaking beauty through my eyes as I take you on a tour of my favorite places on the South Coast.
On tour with me, you will feel like you’re visiting your friend in Iceland!
I do my best to make my trips as comfortable as possible. That’s why I provide complimentary hot chocolate to keep as WARM 🙂 Additionally, I offer crystal clear Icelandic Glacial water in my car at no extra charge. Your comfort and safety is my priority! So you can also take advantage of Rain Gear and Crampons.
- A 100% charge applies if canceled within 10 days of the start time.
- PICK-UP
Before our expedition, I will pick you up directly from your accommodation or the place of your choice in the Reykjavik area.
- GLJÚFRABÚI WATERFALL
Gljúfrabúi 40m (131 ft) waterfall is one of Iceland’s most gorgeous hidden gems. It’s tough to find a place that is so unique and unrealistic as Gljúfrabúi. I will say no more, and I’m so excited to take you there!
- SELJALANDSFOSS WATERFALL
Thanks to the melting glacier cap of the well-known hero of the year 2010, Eyjafjallajokull. Today, we have a chance to admire one of the most exciting waterfalls in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is a 60m high (200 ft) waterfall. What makes this waterfall so special is the path that allows my guests to walk behind the waterfall in the summer.
Don’t worry about getting wet. I have you covered. We have a few raincoats on board, which I make available to my guests on request.
Unfortunately, during the winter season, due to safety reasons, the path is closed.
- SKÓGAFOSS WATERFALL
Skógafoss is wide at 25 m (80 ft), 60 m high (200 ft) waterfall.
You can experience his charm in two ways. First, if you are not afraid to get a bit wet, the flat surrounding underneath allows you to walk right up to the waterfall. The second way is the viewing platform at the top of the waterfall. If we are blessed with sunny weather, you will have a chance to admire often a double Rainbow at Skogafoss. Used as a set of many famous movie productions, Skógafos is also the beginning of Iceland’s most famous hiking trail, the 22 km (14 ml) Fimmvörðuháls Pass.
- DYRHÓLAEY
Dyrhólaey cliffs are approximately 120m high (390ft) and form a small peninsula with a historical lighthouse. Dyrhólaey is home to a large Atlantic Puffins population between May and September. When the weather is good, it’s a perfect place to admire magnificent views of the Mýrdalsjökull glaciers, the black sand beach, and the massive rock formations of volcanic origins.
- REYNISFJARA
According to National Geographic, Reynisfjara is one of the Top 10 none tropical beaches you should visit. This famous black-sand beach is located in the middle of the Icelandic South Coast near the small village of Vík. With basalt columns, a cave, black sand, and Reynisdrangar 66m(216 ft) rock pillars, Reynisfjara is truly a unique place.
- SÓLHEIMAJÖKULL
We will come close to the Sólheimajökull, a glacial tongue, part of the Myrdalsjokull ice cap, which is home to one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes, Katla. Sólheimajökull offers breathtaking views of Iceland’s rugged landscape and is a popular spot for glacier hiking and ice climbing.
I will be happy to arrange a 2-3 hours glacier hike at an additional price.
- KVERNUFOSS WATERFALL
A short and enjoyable hike through the surrounding canyon will lead us straight to the second hidden gem of the Icelandic South Coast. Kvernufoss is a 30m high (98 ft) waterfall. And just like at Skogafoss, Skogafoss, we may be fortunate enough to witness a lovely rainbow on a sunny day while admiring its beauty.
- REYKJAVIK
Straight from there, we will go to your hotel or place of your choice in the Reykjavik area.
Please. Remember to take hiking boots, a rain jacket, rain pants, and WARM layers underneath the jacket and waterproof gloves.
You might be lucky with the lovely weather, but you should also consider the windy and rainy/snowy options.
