can’t say enough good things about our incredible tour guide, Dallin n dallas! both made our South Coast tour an unforgettable experience from start to finish. His deep knowledge of the area, engaging storytelling, and warm personality truly brought the journey to life. he struck the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining. Whether we were taking in breathtaking landscapes or learning about the rich history of the region, he made every moment feel meaningful. He also went out of his way to make sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable, always answering questions with patience and enthusiasm. It’s rare to come across a guide who is not just doing a job but clearly passionate about what they do. Thanks to Dallin, we didn’t just see the South Coast—we experienced it. This tour wouldn’t have been the same without him. Highly recommend!

Highlights

  • Take a walk behind the veil of the Seljalandsfoss waterfall
  • Marvel at the basalt columns at the Reynisfjara black sand beach
  • Visit the coastal village of Vík

Full description

On this full-day tour, you’ll follow the coastline from Reykjavík into the volcanic and glaciated wonderland that is Iceland's south coast. Walk behind the thundering veil of spray at the Seljalandsfoss waterfall and take in the incredible views from the top of the Skógafoss waterfall.

Your tour begins with a drive through lava fields, passing by the active Hengill volcano, and then down to rich coastal farmlands. On clear days you’ll be able to see the Hekla volcano, and in the distance the glacier-capped Eyjafjallajökull volcano rises majestically above the coastal mountains.
Just a few kilometers off the coastline and easily visible are the volcanic Westman Islands, an archipelago of around 15 small islands, only one of which is inhabited.

Stop at the Sólheimajökull glacier, which is every photographer’s dream. Next on the itinerary is the Reynisfjara black sand beach. See the powerful Atlantic waves crashing on the black sands, the jagged basalt sea stacks and the huge basalt-column cave.

Next you’ll head to the coastal village of Vik, the southernmost village in Iceland, located on the island’s main ring road. Despite its small size (291 inhabitants), it is the largest settlement for 70 kilometers.

On your way back to Reykjavík, you’ll stop by the powerful Skógafoss waterfall for a short walk up a flight of steps to admire one of Iceland´s most scenic views. The view takes in glaciers, volcanoes and black sandy beaches.
The last stop is at the 60-meter-high Seljalandsfoss waterfall, best known for the hidden pathway behind and around it.
