3Private South Coast Tour
Discover the splendour of Iceland’s South Coast in unparalleled luxury with our exclusive tour. Journey in a comfortable private SUV driven by a local expert with the key to the region's most well-kept secrets. While we've curated an exceptional itinerary for you, the journey remains yours to design, allowing you to choose your own adventure at your own pace.
This adventure is tailored for smaller groups, allowing you to experience Iceland's splendour alongside family or friends rather than unfamiliar faces. For groups exceeding five members, rest assured we offer the option to reserve a more spacious vehicle to accommodate everyone comfortably.
Itinerary
Our expert driver-guide will collect you from your hotel in the morning, marking the beginning of your tailor-made adventure. With their wealth of knowledge about the region's history, culture, and hidden spots, you're in for an insightful journey.
The places we recommend you visit on this tour: We'll begin our journey by steering towards the stunning Seljalandsfoss, a renowned waterfall celebrated for the natural cave that lies behind its gushing waters. In the summer months, you have the unique opportunity to walk behind its veil and witness the cascade from within!
Skógafoss: Another breathtaking waterfall; legend has it that behind it lays a treasure chest filled with gold. Venture close to its base to feel the spray or climb the adjacent stairs for a panoramic view from above. And for those seeking further enchantment, we can hike along the river to discover even more cascading wonders.
Dyrhólaey: Behold the grandeur of this majestic rock arch, where uninterrupted ocean views stretch to infinity and the powerful resonance of crashing waves fills the air. The cliffs come alive in summer with nesting puffins, offering a delightful spectacle that we can observe up close!
Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach: Stand in awe of its dramatic coastlines adorned with imposing sea stacks and intricate basalt columns, all set against the backdrop of the roaring Atlantic. Esteemed by National Geographic as one of the world's most spectacular beaches, it's a testament to nature's unparalleled artistry.
Village Vík: Step into the enchanting realm of Vík, Iceland's southernmost coastal village. Ascend to the hilltop church for a picture-perfect vista of the quaint village set against the vast ocean. Refresh yourself at a local eatery, savouring delicacies as you gaze upon the iconic sea stacks before we journey back to Reykjavík.
Optional Hidden Gems and Activities:
Gljúfrabúi: A concealed gem, this waterfall remains hidden behind a cliff, offering an intimate encounter with nature.
Kvernufoss: A serene yet often overlooked spot where you can witness the majestic force of water crashing down, surrounded by lush greenery.
On this trip, you have the chance to enrol in exhilarating activities like snowmobiling on the glacier, embarking on an ATV buggy journey, undertaking a guided glacier walk, kayaking on an icy glacier lagoon, horseback riding through black sand beaches, or exploring the depths of a lava cave. With such a diverse array of choices, there's bound to be an adventure tailored to your preferences.
Throughout Your Journey
Weather permitting, you will be treated by the epic views of the Eyjafjallajökull and Myrdalsjökull glacier volcanoes. En route, we'll pass by vast mossy lava fields, bubbling and steaming geothermal areas, picturesque horse farms and fertile agricultural lands that paint a story of Iceland's harmonious relationship with nature.
