Highlights

This full-day adventure takes you beyond the capital to explore the "Greatest Hits" of South Iceland, well known for its stunning attractions and sites. We bring you to the highlights of the South Coast directly from Reykjavik, in comfort! Unlike standard big-bus tours, our small-group minibus setting ensures a more personal connection with Iceland’s landscape. Among the tour's highlights are the DC-3 Plane Wreck, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Dyrhólaey, Sólheimajökull Glacier, Seljalandsfoss waterfall, and the Skogafoss waterfall.

Itinerary

  • Reykjavik(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    The tour begins with pickup from select locations in Reykjavík. Then, sit back and enjoy the scenic drive to Iceland's iconic South Coast
  • Hvolsvollur

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    We make a brief stop at a service station where guests can use the restrooms and purchase snacks & beverages
  • Skogafoss

    45 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Prepare to be awestruck by one of Iceland’s biggest and most beautiful waterfalls. With a staggering 60-meter drop, Skógafoss produces a powerful mist that frequently creates vivid double rainbows on sunny days. You can walk right up to the base of the falls to feel its immense power or climb the 527 steps to the observation deck for a breathtaking view of the coastline and the Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano.
  • Reynisfjara Beach

    50 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Next, we make a sightseeing stop and lunch break at Reynisfjara. Here you can walk along the world-famous black sands of Reynisfjara, voted one of the most beautiful non-tropical beaches on Earth. Marvel at the enormous hexagonal basalt columns and the jagged Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the North Atlantic. Your guide will provide a vital safety briefing regarding the area's powerful "sneaker waves" - note the warning level on the installed signage.
  • Crashed DC 3 Plane

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Upon arrival at the Sólheimasandur parking area, you'll board a transfer vehicle for a quick, 15-minute drive across the hauntingly beautiful black sands to the famous DC 3 Plane Wreck. This abandoned US Navy aircraft has become one of Iceland’s most cinematic landmarks—featured in major music videos and films. You’ll have time to explore the wreckage and capture photos (without the exhaustion of the almost 2-hour walk across the black sand field to the plane!) before boarding the transfer back.
  • Dyrholaey

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Ascend to the "Door Hill Island" for the most spectacular 360-degree views on the South Coast. From this 120-meter high promontory, you can look west across the endless black coastline toward Seljalandsfoss, and east to the Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Your guide will lead you to the best vantage points to see the massive stone arch—a natural wonder carved by the sea—and the historic white lighthouse that has guarded these cliffs for over a century.
  • Solheimajokull Glacier

    50 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Witness the raw power of nature at Sólheimasjökull, a magnificent "outlet glacier" flowing from the mighty Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. Take a scenic walk to the edge of the glacier’s retreating ice wall and its stunning glacial lagoon. Please note: This stop is for sightseeing and viewing the glacier from the lagoon area. It does not include a guided hike onto the ice itself.
  • Seljalandsfoss waterfall

    25 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Visit a waterfall where you can walk behind a 60-meter-tall curtain of water. Seljalandsfoss is unique because of the wide cavern that allows you to fully encircle the falls. From behind the cascade, you’ll have a spectacular view of the South Coast through a veil of mist. It is a powerful, sensory experience that is a must-see for any visitor. We recommend bringing your waterproof gear for this stop, as the spray is part of the fun!
  • Reykjavik(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    Relax and reflect on the day as we drive back to Reykjavík, where we will drop you off at your selected stop.
