The 15 Best South Coast Tours from Reykjavik

30 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $100

Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss and the black beach at Reynisfjara are strung along one road, and the only real question is how far east a tour gets before it turns around. These 15 are timed and priced, and a few push on to the glacier lagoon in a day that runs past fourteen hours.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our day. It was a long day packed with so many stops . Our tour guide Kris was brilliant, outstanding history and landmark knowledge. Our driver Robert was excellent . We encountered snow, sleet, rain and very high winds- he was very focused on the road and his driving skills shined through and kept us safe ! We were fortunate and were able to make an additional stop at another glacier and the Aurora showed up for us at Skogafoss - perfect day ! You won’t be disappointed!!”

“This was an incredible experience!! The tour guide Sveini (I know I am spelling this wrong, my sincerest apologies!) was incredible. We were originally told that due to weather we weren’t going to be able to do the glacier hike, but because of our guide’s plan he was able to make it happen for us when the weather turned out to be more mild than forecasted! I was a solo female traveler and this was a great choice as I felt safe the whole time and had a once in a lifetime experience”

“So many wonderful sites! Glacial hike is very doable but definitely a workout... I would rate it a moderate activity level. Never thought in my life I would say I traversed a glacier! Philip was our hike leader and he was so gracious for slower movers like me and educated us all on our surroundings. Experience of a lifetime!”

“This trip was fantastic. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. He gave us an excellent tour of this incredible country. Everything was exactly as described if not better. I was impressed at how meticulously planned the whole thing was. Additionally, they were constantly watching the weather so that they could adjust our itinerary around storms and make sure we could still see everything. While we did have a huge storm roll in, our guide still made sure we saw everything listed, and more importantly, he made sure we were safe on our trips through bad weather. I would not have wanted to drive in that myself (blinding snow, heavy…”
