Private South Coast tour with glacier hike

What to expect on this awesome tour

Highlights

Everything you have heard about Iceland is true. Arriving in Iceland is like arriving to a different planet. A surreal environment with big glaciers sitting on top of volcanoes, black sand beaches or volcanic lava fields scattered around. What makes it even more surreal is the green moss resting on top of the lava. Sometimes you just get goosebumps when seeing all of its glory. The private South Coast tour has it all. Magnificent waterfalls streaming from underneath these glaciers, lava, black sand beaches and so much more. On this private South Coast trip, you will be taken glacier hiking on Solheimajokull glacier, which is known for its beauty.

Tour Description

Picked up by your guide from your accommodation in or around the capital region of Reykjavik. You can choose which time suits you best to start the tour. This tour takes about 11 hours, so in the summertime, it doesn´t really matter when you start the tour because of 24 hours of daylight. In winter, it is better to start the tour early due to the short days.

The first stop is Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This is one of Iceland’s ideal waterfalls. Photographers absolutely love to photos of this one. Most of the year you can walk behind the waterfall, but make sure you have something water resistant because you will get a little bit wet. The water in this waterfall runs from the glacier lying on top of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano.

A short drive further to the east, you will drive pat the fence of bras and visit Skogafoss waterfall. This waterfall is one of the best ones in Iceland and Reykjavik Outventure staff has picked it as the nr.1 in Iceland. If you have ever imagined the perfect waterfall, then it would probably look something like this one.

Next is what everyone has been waiting for! The glacier hike! For every traveler, this is the highlight of their trip. Hiking on one of Icelands glacier, feeling all its energy and learning the history of it, takes your Iceland trip to another level.

Last stop before heading back to Reykjavik, is the Black Sand Beach or Reynisfjara beach. This beach is known for Game of thrones being filmed there. It is also known for its surreal beauty surrounded by volcanoes, glaciers and volcanic cliffs.

We provide you with glacier gear like crampons, axe, harness(belt) and helmet.
