    Full description

    Spend the day exploring the dramatic landscapes of the south of Iceland along with its coastline on a full-day sightseeing tour from Reykjavik. Along the way, discover a variety of rivers, waterfalls, mountains, and glaciers.

    Following a pickup from listed hotels or guesthouses by bus in central Reykjavík, travel to the gorgeous waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. At the waterfall at Seljalandsfoss, walk behind the cascades and feel the spray on your face.

    Continue to Skógafoss to marvel at the 60-meter drop. Pass the black sand beaches of the southern coast and enjoy the power of the sea.

    Visit the glacier snout of Sólheimajökull to see an outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull. Admire the ever-changing feat of nature up-close. Then, look at the basalt sea stacks at Reynisfjara, Iceland’s southernmost village just south of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, before returning to Reykjavik.

    Tour is well organized and the whole trip was really amazing and so much fun. It's not too long or too tiring but you still get to see some of the Icelandic highlights. Would recommend to anyone, especially to those who do not have a lot of days for exploring. Both guide and driver were excellent and true professionals.

    The ride was amazing. Good stops and enough time. The guide was sweet but the microphone was bad and she laughed so loud after every other word that it unfortunately disturbed a lot. Wish she came up with more historical or other facts about the country and / or nature.

    I had a fantastic day with our guide Gerry and driver Albert. Gerry provided a lot of facts about Iceland, it’s people and the breathtaking spots we visited, while Alberts driving was just superb and I felt super-safe the whole journey. I would have liked a couple of more minutes on some of the stops but other than that I’m really satisfied with the tour. Thank you so much for today Gerry and Albert :)
