TWO DAYS ON THE SOUTH COAST
South Coast private two-day tour
Waterfalls · Black-sand coast · Glacier lagoon · Diamond Beach
01 / THE EXPERIENCE
Closer to Iceland,
at your own pace.
Waterfalls / Black-sand coast / Glacier lagoon / Diamond Beach
Travel east from Reykjavík over two days, following the South Coast from waterfalls and black sand to the floating ice of Jökulsárlón and the ice-strewn shore of Diamond Beach.
Your group has exclusive use of the vehicle, combining privacy with flexibility. Local driver-guides are available in Chinese, English and other languages, giving you time for photographs, stories and the landscapes of Iceland.
Optional experiences must be booked in advance. You can also discuss lesser-known stops with our team or your driver-guide. We suggest choosing no more than one extra activity so that the day stays relaxed.

02 / ALONG THE WAY
The places that stay with you.
Seljalandsfoss waterfall
Walk close to the falling water and, where conditions permit, follow the path behind the waterfall for a different perspective.
Skógafoss waterfall
Hear the powerful cascade and look for rainbows in its spray. The path above offers views over the coast and open countryside.
Reynisfjara black-sand beach
Dark volcanic sands, basalt columns and sea stacks create one of the South Coast’s most distinctive landscapes.
Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon
Watch blue and white icebergs float across the glacial lagoon, slowly changing shape and position with the moving water.
Diamond Beach
Beside the glacier lagoon, fragments of ice wash onto black sand and sparkle in the changing light.
