What you'll see and do
Selfoss
This town is one of the biggest in South Iceland. Recently it opened a new town center, which includes many old houses that have been torn down for various reasons around Iceland. It is a fun place to see the architecture of the old days

Hveragerdi
Just about 30 minutes away from Reykjavik is the town of Hveragerði. It is a great little town known for its geothermal heat and greenhouses. It is possible to walk to Reykjadalur from there, bathe in one of Iceland’s favorite local geothermal swimming pools, buy flowers, check out the hot springs in Hveragarðurinn Park, and taste delicious food. The surrounding area is part of the Hengill central volcano, is geothermally active, and experiences frequent (usually minor) earthquakes. Hveragarðurinn is a park with various hot springs, fumaroles, and information boards explaining the occurrence.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall
One of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls and a must-see. The waterfall isn’t large, but it is beautiful nonetheless. What makes this waterfall special is that you can walk behind it, giving great photo opportunities, especially in the twilight.
60 minutes here
Gljufrabui Waterfalls
Next door, only a few-minute-walk away, is Gljúfrabúi. Another small but spectacular waterfall. A canyon obscures it from the road, so you will have to walk into it to see the waterfall. As both Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabúi will make you wet due to the spray, we recommend waterproof shoes and a coat.
60 minutes here
Skogafoss
Nearby is the much larger Skógafoss Waterfall. This beautiful waterfall has been used in a few films, such as Thor: Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. This is a much larger and more powerful waterfall, so don’t try to walk behind it. However, you can walk up to it; just don’t go too close. You can also walk up a few steps and see it from above and the flattest area of Iceland to the south. The steps are the start of the hike over Fimmvörðuháls to Þórsmörk. There is also an exciting folk museum in the area, Skógar Folk Museum. It’s a cultural heritage collection of 8000 regional artifacts exhibited in 6 historical buildings and 3 museums!
60 minutes here
Dyrholaey
The beautiful Dyrhólaey bird cliff is a must-visit; the only problem with it is that you can’t see the hole in the cape while you’re on it! It used to be known as Cape Portland by some seamen. It gives excellent views of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, over Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, and the Reynisdrangar Basalt Sea Stacks.
60 minutes here
The beautiful, expansive, and famous Reynisfjara is a place everyone should visit. It is important to keep out of the waves, though, as they can be very dangerous. The beach is often considered one of Iceland’s best black sand beaches, and National Geographic even put the beach on its top 10 list of non-tropical beaches people should visit. To one end, you can see Dyrahólaey, and on the other are the Reynisdrangar rock formations, basalt columns, and a small cave. The story goes that Reynisdrangar was made when two trolls tried to drag a three-masted ship to land. The trolls and the ship turned to stone when the sun hit them.
60 minutes here
Vik
The small town of Vík in Mýrdalur is a great stop. It is possible to check out the black sand beach, with a brilliant view of the Reynisdrangar rock formations, and hike up to the small local church for a great photo opportunity.
60 minutes here
Fjadrargljufur Canyon
Fjaðrárgljúfur was made famous by Justin Bieber when he came to Iceland a few years back and shot a video. The place is lovely and well worth the visit. The canyon is up to 330 feet (100 meters) deep and about 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) long. It was created by progressive erosion by flowing water from glaciers during the Ice Age.
60 minutes here
Kirkjubaejarklaustur
The small town of Krikjubæjarklaustur is situated between Vík in Mýrdalur and Höfn in Hornarfjörður. About 500 people live there. It is most famous for its Benedictine convent (the name of the town means Church Farm Cloister), which was established in 1186 and was located there until the Reformation in 1550. The small village again got into the history books during the Laki volcano eruption in 1783. The local church’s pastor, Jón Steingrímsson, delivered what became known as the “Fire Sermon” on July 20, 1783. The legend says this sermon stopped the lava flow, and the village was spared at the last moment. The current church, constructed in 1974, was built in memory of Rev. Jón.

Diamond Beach
No visit to South Iceland is complete without a stop at Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon and the nearby Diamond Beach. Jökulsárlón is by Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier and is made up of meltwater from it. It started forming in the mid-20th century and has slowly but surely been eroding the Breiðamerkursandur beach. It is now the deepest lake in Iceland at 932 feet (284 meters) and covers about 6.9 sq mi (18 km2). Since the 1970s, it has increased fourfold in size and has doubled in size in the last 15 years. Despite being a sad reminder of the rising temperatures, it is a stunning lake. It is one of the deepest in Iceland and has a rich animal life. Seals can regularly be seen swimming in the lagoon or chilling on icebergs. Beautiful icy-blue icebergs are floating all around, and on the other side of Ring Road, you find Diamond Beach. It is so-called because of the melting icebergs scattered on the beach. The clear ice against the black sand beach is a sight to see.

Private Bespoke Glacier Lagoon Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Bespoke Glacier Lagoon Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $2,568 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 Private Bespoke Glacier Lagoon Tour take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Private Bespoke Glacier Lagoon Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Bespoke Glacier Lagoon 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 Private Bespoke Glacier Lagoon Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Bespoke Glacier Lagoon Tour?
+
Around 0 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Bespoke Glacier Lagoon 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, 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.
