Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier Tour
Overview
A private day on Iceland's South Coast, just for your group. Your driver-guide picks you up at your Reykjavik accommodation or cruise terminal with a VAREN name tablet, helps with your bags and sets the pace around you.
Walk behind the falling water at Seljalandsfoss and step through a narrow gap in the rock to find Gljúfrabúi hidden in its canyon. Feel the spray at Skógafoss, then follow an easy path to the edge of Sólheimajökull glacier, where blue ice meets black ash. The coast opens up at Dyrhólaey's sea arch and cliffs, the basalt columns and black sand of Reynisfjara, and the village of Vík beneath its green hills.
Along the way your guide shares stories and practical tips about Iceland's nature and history. Stay longer where you like; the day is yours. Water on request.
Choose a private sedan for 1-3 travellers or a private van for up to 8. One price per vehicle, not per person.
