On this exclusive 2-day private tour, you'll be immersed in the unparalleled beauty of Iceland's South Coast, a land of dramatic contrasts where fire and ice collide. Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Reykjavík along the Ring Road, where the landscape transforms from lush green farmlands to vast volcanic plains.

Day 1: Waterfalls, Black Sand & Coastal Vistas

Your first stop is the magnificent Seljalandsfoss waterfall, a unique cascade that allows you to walk behind its curtain of water (weather permitting) for a truly immersive experience and incredible photo opportunities. Just a short drive away, you’ll be captivated by the powerful Skógafoss, a 60-meter-high waterfall where rainbows frequently appear in the spray. Next, we head to the dramatic coastline and the Dyrhólaey arch, a massive natural stone arch rising from the sea, where you can take in panoramic views of the entire coastline, including the famous black sand beach. The day culminates at Reynisfjara, a world-renowned black sand beach famous for its towering basalt columns and powerful, crashing Atlantic waves. We'll then stop for lunch at a restaurant (Not included) in the charming seaside village of Vík. As evening approaches, you'll travel further east for a restful night at your accommodation near Diamond Beach.

Day 2: Glaciers, Lagoons & Canyons

The second day is dedicated to the glacial wonders of the region. We start at the mesmerizing Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where massive icebergs break off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and drift serenely in the deep, blue water. You'll have plenty of time to explore the lagoon's edge and can even opt for a thrilling boat tour (not included) to get up close to the floating ice. Just across the road, Diamond Beach awaits. Here, smaller ice chunks that have washed ashore glisten like diamonds on the black volcanic sand, creating a surreal and unforgettable landscape. Continuing our exploration, we'll visit the stunning Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon, a winding, deep gorge carved by a river over millennia, offering breathtaking views from its winding trails. We'll also make a stop at the distinctive Yoda Cave before we begin our journey back to Reykjavík, with an optional lunch stop in Vík. You'll arrive back in the city with incredible memories and photos to last a lifetime.
