    About this experience

    On this tour, we explore the breathtaking waterfalls on the south coast of Iceland. Not only do we drive to the well-known tourist hotspots, but we also visit lesser-known waterfalls off the main road. An adventure for all ages that you won't forget in no time. We will start our day in Reykjavik where I will pick you up at bus stop 8 (Hallgrimskirkja). From there, we will drive directly on the famous ring road towards the south. In total, we will visit 6 different waterfalls, which everyone is very special for themselves. I am also happy to explain to you the many geological peculiarities behind these wonderful landscapes. I am also happy to help you capture in photos this day. The tour can be booked all year round but can be canceled at short notice due to bad weather conditions. Waterproof clothes and sturdy shoes are highly recommended. In winter, some areas may be locked for safety reasons.

    Waterfalls and so much more!!!

    This tour was nothing short of magical. My husband and I were with our three daughters, ages 12, 10 and 9, and there were two other women with us who we didn’t know but were very nice. We ended up seeing 6 waterfalls all together, and WOW!! The first one was a hidden gem and next to a small, rare little forest. My 10 year old said she could build a cabin and live there forever, and we decided that if elves really exist, they definitely live there! We could climb up and touch the waterfall, walk through the woods and had the entire place to ourselves. The next one was my personal favorite—it had a low fall and a high fall that was set farther back. Our guide explained the geology of the area and why the falls formed the way they did. Absolutely incredible! After a nice lunch break, we hiked up a mountain to see the next falls which were stunning. The higher we went, the more falls we saw as the river meandered along. The final two were so so fun—we were able to climb behind the falls and our girls stood in the pouring water, happy as clams, doing a little dance and laughing. The last one required us to walk through a large cave opening, using stepping stones to make our way back to a large open air cavern with a waterfall inside. It was breathtaking! All in all, we absolutely LOVED this tour and would recommend it 1,000%! You’ll learn without even realizing it. Amazing.

    Excellent tour

    If you love waterfalls; this tour is perfect! The guide was great--I felt like I was traveling with a friend. The picture is Gljufrabui Waterfall--a gem near Seljalandsfoss. Great to be on a smaller group tour as well. Highly recommended!

    Explore the Waterfalls of the South Coast: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Explore the Waterfalls of the South Coast cost?

    +

    Prices start at $220 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Explore the Waterfalls of the South Coast take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Explore the Waterfalls of the South Coast worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Explore the Waterfalls of the South Coast?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Explore the Waterfalls of the South Coast suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Explore the Waterfalls of the South Coast?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Explore the Waterfalls of the South Coast start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
