This private 2-day tour offers a relaxed and immersive way to experience Iceland’s South Coast and Diamond Beach without rushing through the highlights. Designed for travelers who want more time, fewer crowds, and a smoother pace, the journey allows Iceland’s landscapes to unfold naturally over two days.
Day 1: Waterfalls, Black Sand Beaches & Coastal Views
Departing from Reykjavík, you travel along the South Coast, where farmland gradually gives way to glaciers, volcanoes, and dramatic shoreline scenery. Stops include Seljalandsfoss, where you can walk behind the waterfall, and the powerful Skógafoss.
You’ll continue to the black sands of Reynisfjara, framed by basalt columns and crashing Atlantic waves, and enjoy coastal views near Dyrhólaey (weather permitting). The day ends near Vík or further east, where you’ll stay overnight close to Diamond Beach.
Day 2: Glaciers, Lagoons & Diamond Beach
The second day focuses on Iceland’s glacial landscapes. You’ll visit Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where icebergs drift slowly across deep blue water, followed by nearby Diamond Beach, where crystal-clear ice rests on black volcanic sand.
If conditions allow, the journey continues through Fjaðrárgljúfur, a dramatic canyon carved by glacial meltwater over thousands of years, before returning west toward Reykjavík with optional stops along the way.
in a private vehicle with a professional driver-guide, you can adjust the pace, spend more time where you wish, and enjoy a calm, well-balanced experience. This 2-day tour is ideal for travelers who want to experience Iceland’s South Coast in depth, without long single-day drives or constant time pressure.
