Iceland’s south coast features dramatic waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches. This small-group day tour lasts between 10 and 13 hours and starts with hotel pickup in Reykjavik. Travel by minibus with a professional English-speaking driver and guide who stays with the group during all stops. Wi-Fi is available on board. The tour visits several towns along the route including Hveragerdi, known for its greenhouses and the Reykjadalur Hot River in a rift valley between the Eurasian and American plates; Selfoss, the largest town in South Iceland; and Hella, named after caves near the river. As the tour continues, it reaches the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which drops 60 meters from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. In summer, guests can walk behind this waterfall. Next is Gljufrabui, a hidden waterfall often missed by visitors. The guide shares how to find it. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano itself is pointed out, with commentary on its major 2010 eruption. The tour then stops at Skogafoss, a 60-meter waterfall famous worldwide and featured in “Game of Thrones.” Its south-facing position often creates rainbows in the spray. Visitors may climb to the top for a different view. The group then spends an hour at Solheimajokull Glacier, part of the large Myrdalsjokull ice cap. From April to October, an optional glacier hike is available, including all safety gear. Afterward, the tour passes Dyrholaey, where sea arches are visible from Reynisfjara Beach. The final stop is Reynisfjara, the black sand beach with basalt columns, strong Atlantic waves, and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks offshore. Food and drinks are not included. The glacier hike may be canceled due to weather or safety, with substitutions or partial refunds offered. Warm, waterproof clothing and sturdy hiking shoes are required, with rental shoes available if needed. The minimum age for participants is 10 years.
