What you'll see and do
Seljalandsfoss waterfall
On the slopes of Ejyafjallajökull, the unpronounceable volcano that blocked flights to half of Europe during the 2010 eruption, we will see Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This is precisely our first stop where, depending on the season, it will or will not be possible to walk behind the waterfall. The time frame includes transportation.
150 minutes here · Admission included
Gljufrabui Waterfalls
After a 5 minutes walk from Seljalandsfoss, we will enter the small canyon that leads beneath Gljúfrabúi waterfall. To be enter the canyon we will have to walk up a small creek, and this might or might not be possible according to the season and the weather conditions.
35 minutes here
Skogafoss
The second stop on our journey will be in front of the waterfall of Skogafoss, also filmed in the TV series 'Game of Thrones' and 'Vikings'. A long staircase of about 400 steps leads to the top of the 62-meter-high waterfall, giving you the opportunity to admire the landscape of the plains to the sea as far as the eye can see. The time frame includes transportation.
90 minutes here
Kvernufoss
A few minutes' drive away, the waterfall of Kvernufoss lets itself be discovered after a short (and easy) walk in a small canyon. To this day it is still considered not to be such a turistic destination, so with a little luck we could have few other people around us. But please, keep it a secret! The time frame includes transportation.
45 minutes here · Admission included
Reynisfjara Beach
Before returning to the city, our last scheduled stop is on the black beach of Reynisfjara adorned by its basalt columns. From there it is possible to admire the natural formation of the Dyrholaey: promontory that overlooks the ocean has a breathtaking arc of rock, especially at dusk. As beautiful as it is, Iceland is also dangerous: the abnormal waves that can sometimes occur on this beach are terribly infamous, so it's always good to be cautious. Our guide will obviously ensure that your visit takes place safely. The time frame includes transportation.
80 minutes here
Solheimajokull Glacier
As an extra stop to our tour, according to the season and the weather conditions, we will lead you to the glacier laguna of Sólheimajökull on the way back to Reykjavík. The time frame includes transportation.

Iceland spectacular, impeccable organization
Simply fantastic experience! The tour operator proved to be immediately kind, professional and always available, ready to respond to every need with great attention. Thanks to them we could see incredible places, surreal landscapes that we will hardly forget. A key aspect for me was the fact that they are certified, especially considering that we traveled in winter, when safety and expertise really make a difference. We always felt calm and well looked after. I absolutely recommend this tour operator to anyone who wants to discover Iceland in a safe, organized and authentic way.

Unscheduled memorable
Beautiful beautiful beautiful, the force of nature and Lorenzo's ability to take you to admire the real Iceland off the beaten track by the masses and at the same time without missing anything sensational.

Spectacular!
It was the last intense three-day tour with Lorenzo! Like the days before the visits were enriched with anecdotes and explanations that completed wonderfully what we saw! The final gem was, during the return trip, to let us listen to Italian songs translated into Icelandic and transformed into Christmas songs 😂😂 ! This is Lorenzo, guide and special person! But everyone on Elysia tour is..in Iceland only with them!! THANK YOU!

Everything perfect!
A truly wonderful experience! The tour was impeccably organized: Ilaria is extremely professional, but at the same time nice and engaging, able to put everyone at ease from the first minutes. During the visit there were curious anecdotes and funny moments, which made the discovery of the place even more pleasant and lively. At the same time, we learned a lot: clear explanations, historical and cultural details told with passion and expertise. A perfect balance of fun and culture — highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and interesting experience!

Super Elysia tour
A few words are not enough to describe the Welcoming, professionalism, skills and an unusual humanity of Ilaria and Michele from the first step to the final greetings. Strongly recommended to all those who like to travel safely guided by true masters of the industry with the papers in order in the true sense of the word. Luisa&Lucia

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day South Coast to Vík - Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Full Day South Coast to Vík - Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $357 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 Full Day South Coast to Vík - Guided Tour 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 Full Day South Coast to Vík - Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Full Day South Coast to Vík - Guided Tour?
+
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 Full Day South Coast to Vík - Guided Tour 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 Full Day South Coast to Vík - Guided Tour?
+
Around 6 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 Full Day South Coast to Vík - Guided Tour 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.
