Itinerary
Pick-up in the Capital Area
Your driver-guide picks you up at your accommodation anywhere in the Capital Area, or at your cruise terminal, and after a short introduction you head east along the South Coast.
Drive along the South Coast
Past farmland, lava fields and the outlet glaciers of Eyjafjallajökull.
Your first chosen stop
The first of the two stops you pick when you book: Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Dyrhólaey, Reynisfjara, Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon or the Sólheimajökull glacier viewpoint.
Lunch break in Vík
A proper break in Iceland's southernmost village, roughly halfway, with cafés and restaurants where you can buy lunch.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
From Vik the drive continues across vast volcanic plains and glacial rivers toward one of the most spectacular natural wonders in Iceland. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is filled with floating icebergs that break away from a nearby glacier. These ice formations slowly drift across the lagoon before reaching the ocean, creating an unforgettable landscape of ice and water.
Diamond Beach
Just across the road from the lagoon lies Diamond Beach. Here pieces of clear glacial ice wash onto the black sand beach. The sunlight reflects through the ice making it sparkle like diamonds scattered along the shore.
Your second chosen stop
Your second chosen stop, on the way back, planned so the day flows without backtracking.
Drop-off in the Capital Area
Relax on the long drive back. We drop you off where we picked you up, anywhere in the Capital Area or at your cruise terminal.
Please Note
- Your bookingYou will receive your booking confirmation right after you book.
- Please count everyone in your group, including children and infants, as everyone needs their own seat.
- We pick up and drop off at any accommodation in the Capital Area and at the cruise terminals in Reykjavík and Hafnarfjörður. Staying somewhere else? Send us a message before you book and we will gladly help.
- Arriving by cruise ship? We plan the start time and the route around your ship's schedule, so you are back at the port well before all-aboard time. This is a long day, so it works best when your ship stays in port for the whole day or overnight.
- This is one of the longest day tours in Iceland, usually 13-15 hours door to door, with a lot of time in the vehicle.
- In winter daylight is short, so part of the drive is in the dark.
- Walking and accessibilityThis tour involves easy walks on uneven natural paths that can be wet, muddy or icy, so it is not suitable for guests with serious mobility limitations. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
- If you choose the Sólheimajökull glacier viewpoint, we walk to the edge of the glacier and do not go onto the ice, so no glacier guide or special equipment is needed.
- Beach safetyAt Reynisfjara and Diamond Beach, sneaker waves can run far up the beach without warning. Please stay well back from the water and follow your guide's advice.
- ChildrenChildren of all ages are welcome. Parents or guardians look after their children during the tour.
