A Carbon-Neutral Iceland South Coast Tour

This carbon-neutral Iceland South Coast tour is perfect for nature lovers looking to explore Iceland’s top natural attractions in just one day. Visit the stunning Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, walk along the famous Reynisfjara black sand beach, see the breathtaking Sólheimajökull glacier, and experience the charm of Vík village—and enjoy incredible landscapes along the way.

Itinerary

After a smooth pickup in Reykjavík, we quickly leave the city behind. The landscape transforms into moss-covered lava fields and volcanic terrain. Enjoy panoramic views with farmlands and the Atlantic Ocean on one side, and towering mountains on the other. You'll pass glacier-capped volcanoes, including Eyjafjallajökull and Katla, making every part of the drive awe-inspiring.

Along the way, we’ll stop at Iceland's most famous sights, from towering waterfalls to black sand beaches and glacier views. These postcard-perfect locations, paired with the breathtaking landscapes you’ll encounter on the road, create an unforgettable tour of Iceland’s natural wonders.

Highlights

  • Skógafoss Waterfall: Skógafoss is one of Iceland's most picturesque and iconic waterfalls, boasting a 60-meter (196-foot) drop that creates a powerful mist and frequent rainbows. Capture unforgettable photos of this natural marvel, featured in films like Thor: The Dark World and the TV series Vikings.
  • Sólheimajökull Glacier: Get up close to the majestic Sólheimajökull Glacier, where you can witness firsthand how climate change is shaping Iceland’s landscape. The retreating glacier has created a serene iceberg-filled lake, offering a striking contrast to the surrounding rugged terrain.
  • Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach: We'll Visit the famous Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, where black volcanic sand, basalt columns, and the dramatic Reynisdrangar sea stacks combine to create an awe-inspiring setting. Recognized by National Geographic as one of the world’s best beaches, Reynisfjara’s stark beauty is a highlight of the tour.
  • Vík Village: Discover the charming village of Vík, the southernmost settlement in Iceland, nestled between towering cliffs and the ocean. Vík is known for its stunning views, birdlife, and as a peaceful coastal retreat.
  • Seljalandsfoss Waterfall: Seljalandsfoss offers a unique experience—you can walk behind the waterfall and feel the mist as the water plunges down in front of you. This is one of the few waterfalls in the world where this is possible. Set against the backdrop of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, it’s a must-see stop on your South Coast adventure.
