An unforgettable tour of Iceland’s South Coast! 🇮🇸
We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring the spectacular South Coast of Iceland. The landscapes were breathtaking, from the majestic Skógafoss and beautiful Seljalandsfoss to the dramatic cliffs of Dyrhólaey, the black sand beach of Reynisfjara and the charming village of Vík. Every stop was incredible and made the day truly unforgettable. A special mention goes to our driver Saulius, who was simply fantastic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ He was professional, punctual, extremely helpful and always attentive to our needs. His calm and friendly attitude made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. He drove exceptionally well and contributed enormously to making our experience so enjoyable. Saulius was absolutely brilliant and deserves the highest possible rating! 👏 Thank you for an amazing experience — we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland! 🇮🇸❤️ the Erasmus group
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! We are truly delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day exploring Iceland’s South Coast. Your lovely comments about Saulius are especially appreciated, and we will make sure to share them with him. Thank you for choosing to travel with us and for recommending the tour.

Great experience with our guide Siggi Tengdó!
You should confirm the pick-up time 24 hours before the tour because the agency does not contact you. In our case, we were told the time when they would come to us and the guide was very punctual, he was waiting for us in advance. We were two days with the same guide: his name was Siggi Tengdó, who has always been attentive, polite, discreet but very chatty if you ask him anything, and explained all the details with dedication. A certainly endearing person we recommend requesting if available. The Reyjanes excursion we liked less, had less interest and would not be a priority among those we did.
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por su reseña detallada y por tomarse el tiempo de compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Nos alegra mucho conocer sus amables palabras sobre Siggi y saber que disfrutaron de dos días con él. Agradecemos sinceramente sus comentarios y su valiosa opinión, que nos ayudan a seguir mejorando nuestros servicios.

Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $1,391 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 South Shore Waterfall Adventure 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 Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure?
+
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 South Shore Waterfall Adventure 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 Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure?
+
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 Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure 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 Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure?
+
Included: Pick Up and Drop Off in Reykjavik; and Private vehicle and English speaking driver (not expert guide). Not included: Food & Beverages; and Driving-Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 70 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private South Shore Waterfall Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
