Tour the justly popular south coast of Iceland and discover the country's wild and diverse nature at its very best. Explore glaciers, steep cliffs, roaring waterfalls, and black sand beaches. Get insight into the region from your local driver-guide on a minibus day tour from Reykjavik. Begin the journey east from Reykjavik along the southern coast, and make the first stops at Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls. Then, head toward the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, located on Iceland’s southernmost point. Admire the enormous basalt columns, and if the tide conditions are right, explore the sea caves. Next is Vik, the remote seafront village home to basalt sea stacks. Legend has it that the stacks are made of frozen trolls who were turned to stone while playing in the sea. After making the last stop of the day at Solheimajokull glacier, return to Reykjavik and get dropped off at your original departure point.

  • Korngarðar 3, 104 Reykjavík, Iceland
  • Skarfagarðar 8, 104 Reykjavík, Iceland
  • 43X6+XC4, Miðbakki, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland
  • Seljalandsfoss, Hella, Iceland
    This falls, which is over sixty metres tall, tumbles from a cliff that curves inwards; this means when there is no ice on the ground you can walk behind it, allowing for some excellent photographs.
    30 minutes
  • Skogafoss, Skogar, Iceland
    Admire this wonderful waterfall. The scale of it is incredibly impressive, especially considering the amount of spray rising as the water smashes against the rocks below. You can walk as close to the waterfall as you dare.
    30 minutes
  • Solheimajokull Glacier, Vik, Iceland
    This fascinating glacier tongue stretches from the greater ice cap Myrdalsjokull, which covers the volcano Katla, the eruptions of which are even bigger than Eyjafjallajokull's. It is about 15 min walk from the parking lot to a good viewpoint to admire the glacier.
    45 minutes
  • Reynisfjara Beach, Vik, Iceland
    This stretch of coastline is renowned for its beauty, eeriness, and dramatic geology. Another very photogenic place with many hexagonal basalt columns. In summer, you may spot puffins up on the cliffs.
    25 minutes

Gummi is the most amazing guide. We have traveled quite a bit and been on many tours. This ranks up there as the best of the best. First, we left at 7:30 am and didn’t arrive home until after 11:00 pm. There were only 3 of us —my husband, me and a new friend from South Africa. Over 500+ miles and nearly 16 hours of touring, we learned about the volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, bridges, flooding, the Vikings, waterfalls (foss), the geothermal power plants, the people, the Sagas / history, each other, the legends and folklore, the swimming pools, and the list goes on! We ate lunch and dinner, had hot chocolate, and finished with ice cream as a night cap. And we saw the sites—so many with each one better than the next! I was on sensory overload because everywhere we stopped, there was something even more unbelievable to see, hear, smell and touch. What made it the best was Gummi—his knowledge of everything Iceland is simply amazing. His stories kept us captivated. After 21 years as a tour guide, it shows through the experience he gave us. When we come back, we will do another tour with this company and Gummi. Thank you, Gummi—you went above and beyond and we appreciated it! Thanks for giving us a truly inside view of your beautiful country.

Our guide was lovely with many facts and stories to tell…HOWEVER-people sitting in the back of the van could NOT hear her at all. She tried to change microphones, but they did not work well enough. 2 seats were broken as well making for uncomfortable travel for some passengers. A tour the day before had microphones working just fine. (different company). Please fix the microphones and seats for others.

Most of the tour companies take people to the same sites. The landscape is spectacular all along the southern coast. Trond, our guide for this day trip, is what set this apart from other tours. His wittiness, down-to-earth practicality, patience, directness, and range of personal experience elevated the experience from beautiful scenery to an incredible trip all around. While all of the stops were amazing (waterfalls! glaciers!), our personal favorite was Reynisfjara, the black sand beach. Incredible! Booking was easy, as was the pick up process. My sister and I highly recommend this tour company and this specific tour.
