This exclusive tour offers an unparalleled experience to explore Iceland’s breathtaking south coast, culminating in the majestic Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. From cascading waterfalls to the beautiful black sand beaches, this tour is designed for those seeking both adventure and tranquility in Iceland’s stunning natural landscapes.

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

Your adventure begins with an early departure from Reykjavík, beating the city traffic and heading straight to the iconic Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. This stunning waterfall drops 60 meters and offers a unique perspective as you can walk behind the cascading water. Early arrival ensures you have ample time to enjoy this natural wonder and take in the beautiful surroundings.

Skógafoss Waterfall: Majestic and Powerful

Next, we continue our journey to the mighty Skógafoss Waterfall. Known for its impressive 60-meter drop and width of 25 meters, Skógafoss is one of Iceland’s largest and most striking waterfalls. The early start means fewer crowds, allowing for a more intimate experience with this powerful force of nature. Don’t forget to climb the stairs to the top for a panoramic view of the south coast.

Vík and Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach: Nature’s Masterpiece

Our tour then takes us to the quaint village of Vík í Mýrdal and the nearby Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Renowned for its dramatic basalt columns and the towering Reynisdrangar sea stacks, this beach is a testament to Iceland’s volcanic origins. Enjoy the otherworldly scenery and take time to explore this geological wonder. If time permits, we may visit lesser-known spots, adding to the exclusivity of your private tour.

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: A Glacial Paradise

The highlight of your tour is the awe-inspiring Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Nestled beneath Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, this lagoon is a sight to behold. Watch as massive icebergs float serenely in the lagoon, creating a captivating spectacle. The contrast of the blue ice against the dark waters is truly mesmerizing. Take an optional amphibian boat ride to get up close to the icebergs and even hold a piece of ancient glacial ice.

Diamond Beach: A Dazzling Display

Adjacent to the lagoon is the stunning Diamond Beach, where icebergs from the lagoon wash ashore on the black sand, glistening like diamonds in the daylight. This unique beach offers incredible photo opportunities and a chance to witness the raw beauty of nature in one of its purest forms. Walking among these ice formations is an experience that will stay with you forever.
