    What you'll see and do

    1. Seljalandsfoss waterfall

      First stop of the day is the iconic Seljalandsfoss. A jaw dropping majestic sight with the possibility to walk behind the waterfall! After enjoying Seljalandsfoss we take a short hike to its neighbour Gljúfrarbúi (The one who lives in the mountain) to marvel it´s beauty. Like the name implies, the waterfall is hidden inside the mountain but easy to find, once you know the route.

      60 minutes here

    2. Vik

      On we go to the village of Vík í Mýrdal, an astonishing small village and probably one of the most photographed settlements in Iceland. The iconic church is seen in all the photo ads, and the view from the church is breathtaking. We take our lunch break there before continuing our travels.

      60 minutes here

    3. Reynisfjara Beach

      The black sand beach of Reynisfjara is one of the biggest attraction in Iceland and the iconic Reynisdrangar cliffs, sticking out from the sea. Be careful, the tides can sneak up on you.

      60 minutes here

    4. Solheimajokull Glacier

      We take a walk on the wild side towards the glaciers and gently place our feet at the edge. Take a selfie and voila, we can claim to have stepped on to a glacier.

      30 minutes here

    5. The majestic Skógarfoss waterfall is 60 meters high no less. One can spend hours staring at it. We will spend 30 minutes doing so

    Fantastic day and tour!

    I had an amazing time on my South Coast Sights Tour. The tour guide Siggi was great! He was very knowledgeable about the locations and told so many great stories along the way. I received an email the night before with info about the van, license plate and driver which was nice since there are so many different vans picking people up for different tours. The tour was conducted by EastWest Tours Iceland and not Simply Iceland like it says on here. The order of the day is also different from what it says. Despite the change it was still a great day! The USB plugs on the bus truly make the day less stressful since you can charge your devices between each stop to make sure you have enough power for all your photos and videos. After a short pitstop and bathroom break on the way, we started the day at Skógafoss and got to see it with blue skies and a rainbow! Next was Reynisfjara Beach where we got a safety briefing about the waves. This was also our lunch spot. The Black Beach Restaurant has lots of options but I had a hotdog from the stand right next to it. After lunch we stopped at Vik for a short photo moment at the church and the view of the village. Our next stop was the Solheimajokull Glacier. The description on here says “gently place our feet at the edge. Take a selfie and voila, we can claim to have stepped on to a glacier.” I don’t see where this would have happened. It was a long walk to get down closer to the glacier but I didn’t see where we could get close enough to step on to it as it was across the water. Lastly we went to the Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrarbúi Waterfalls. The whole reason I booked this specific tour was because the description specifically included the Gljúfrarbúi Waterfall and I was so happy that I got to see it! Luckily the line wasn’t too long as it was mostly people waiting for others to come back out one by one through the rocky water. After getting some photos there, I walked over to Seljalandsfoss and walked behind the waterfall. You definitely need your waterproof clothing for these two waterfalls. This was a fantastic day and tour! Definitely recommend!

    A beautiful day touring the South Coast of Iceland

    It was a great tour and the driver was not only knowledgeable but planned the stops and had great ideas about what time to stop for best sunlight, views, etc.

    Leroy made it even special

    This south coast tour was absolutely fantastic, mainly due to Leroy, our driver and guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt so much about Iceland, because of him. One of the highlights of the tour, was going behind the waterfall. Simply amazing. If every guide was like Leroy, tours would be even more enjoyable. We can’t thank him enough for all he did for us and making our day so special.

    Outstanding!

    Wonderful excursion. Our guide, Gon, was outstanding in every way! We did not feel rushed, he shared great information, and took such good care of us. Loved each stop!

    Great way to see Iceland - you won't go wrong with Viator

    Even though it was a very rainy day, the tour was wonderful and our guide made it fun. Unlike some other tours (non-Viator) we had plenty of time at each stop. The driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area and made the drive a very memorable experience. Also, the price is very reasonable and 1/3rd of what the cruise line wanted to charge. Though it is a long tour, it was broken up in a way to allow for bathroom breaks. We have never gone wrong with Viator!

    Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik cost?

    +

    Prices start at €110 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 Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik 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 Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 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 Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik?

    +

    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 Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik 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 Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik?

    +

    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 Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik 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, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. 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.

    What is included in Iceland South Coast Sights Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik?

    +

    Included: On-board WiFi; Guide; and Parking fees. Not included: Lunch and other meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
