Spectacular South Coast Iceland Private Tour from Reykjavik

Summary

Begin your tour with pick-up from your central Reykjavik hotel, meet your driver and settle into your private vehicle for the scenic journey south. Keep your camera trained on the road as you pass the dramatic landscapes of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier and jump out to admire the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Stand in awe before the 60-meter-high cascade, then enjoy a unique viewpoint as you walk right behind the falls. Learn more about the region’s untamed landscapes and volcanoes at the LAVA Center and hear about the notorious 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano with a visit to the Eyjafjallajökull visitor center. Then continue to another magnificent waterfall – Skógarfoss. After capturing photos of the mighty falls, get a taste of traditional Icelandic life with a visit to the Folk Museum at Skógar, where highlights include the grass-roofed farmhouses and a huge collection of handicrafts. After passing the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, your final stop is in Vik, Iceland’s southernmost village. Explore the town, then pay a visit to Reynisfjara, where you can stroll the unusual black sand beaches and admire the natural sea arch of Dyrhólaey. After an epic full-day adventure, sit back and enjoy the return journey to Reykjavik, where your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.
