Overview

Discover the magic of Iceland’s South Coast on this private full-day tour designed for travelers who want a more personal, flexible, and unforgettable experience.

Your journey begins with hotel pickup in Reykjavik, followed by visits to some of Iceland's most iconic landmarks. Walk behind the stunning Seljalandsfoss waterfall, feel the power of Skógafoss, and explore the dramatic black sand beach of Reynisfjara, where basalt columns meet roaring Atlantic waves.

Next, travel further east to the famous Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where floating icebergs drift peacefully, and finish your day at the breathtaking Diamond Beach, where shimmering chunks of ice glisten like jewels on black volcanic sand.

With your own private vehicle and a dedicated guide, you’ll have the freedom to explore at your own pace, make extra photo stops, and ask all the questions you want — perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends.
