Overview

This tour offers a different way to experience Iceland’s famous South Coast. Instead of rushing through the highlights and returning to Reykjavík before evening, the day gradually transitions into a unique cultural experience that very few tours offer.

You will visit some of Iceland’s most iconic natural landmarks – powerful waterfalls, glaciers, dramatic cliffs, and volcanic black sand landscapes – while travelling at a relaxed pace that allows you to truly enjoy each location.

What makes this tour truly special is how the day ends. Rather than simply returning to the city, the journey concludes with a Viking Story Night experience, where guests enjoy dinner while listening to captivating stories inspired by Icelandic sagas and Viking history. It transforms a classic sightseeing tour into a memorable cultural evening, combining nature, history, and storytelling in one unforgettable day.

Activity itinerary

Reykjavik (Pass by)

Your journey begins in Reykjavík, the vibrant capital of Iceland and the northernmost capital city in the world. After pickup, we leave the city behind and head along the scenic South Coast, one of the most spectacular regions in the country. The day will take you through waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, and dramatic ocean cliffs before ending with a unique Viking storytelling experience in the evening.

Seljalandsfoss

30m
Admission ticket included

One of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls, where a pathway allows visitors to walk behind the curtain of falling water. The view from behind the waterfall creates a unique perspective of the surrounding landscape.

Gljufrabui Waterfalls

20m
Admission ticket included

A hidden waterfall located inside a narrow canyon just a short walk from Seljalandsfoss. Partially concealed by cliffs, the waterfall feels like a secret place discovered by stepping through a small opening in the rock.

Skogafoss

30m
Admission ticket included

A powerful and dramatic waterfall dropping 60 metres from ancient sea cliffs. On sunny days, the mist often creates bright rainbows. Visitors can walk right up to the base of the waterfall or climb the staircase for panoramic views over the surrounding landscape.

Solheimajokull Glacier

A striking outlet glacier flowing down from the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. From the viewpoint you can observe the dramatic contrast between white ice, dark volcanic ash layers, and the rugged glacial terrain shaped by ice and volcanic forces.

Reynisfjara Beach (Pass by)

Reynisfjara is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Iceland, known for its dramatic basalt columns, powerful Atlantic waves, and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the ocean. However, the area has recently been heavily affected by severe storms and powerful wave activity, which has made access to the beach itself increasingly dangerous. Because of the unpredictable and extremely strong “sneaker waves,” it is not always safe to approach the shoreline. For safety reasons, we do not bring guests directly onto the beach when conditions are risky. Instead, we will stop at a safe viewpoint in the area to admire the dramatic coastline and see the Reynisdrangar sea stacks from a distance while keeping a comfortable and safe distance from the ocean.

Dyrholaey

A high cliff viewpoint offering spectacular views over the South Coast. From here you can see the famous stone arch rising from the sea as well as the long stretch of black sand beaches extending towards Vík.

Efri-Vik

1h 30m

The day concludes with a unique cultural experience inspired by Iceland’s Viking heritage. Guests enjoy a traditional-style dinner while listening to dramatic storytelling about Viking life, Icelandic sagas, and the legends that shaped the island’s history.

Reykjavik (Pass by)

After the Viking storytelling evening, we begin the relaxed journey back to Reykjavík. The return drive passes through the quiet countryside of South Iceland, offering a peaceful end to a day filled with dramatic landscapes, history, and unforgettable experiences.
