About this experience
Gljúfrabúi - the hidden waterfall most South Coast tours miss. Concealed inside a narrow rock canyon, accessible only by stepping through a gap in the cliff. Just minutes from Seljalandsfoss, visited by a fraction of the people who pass by. Walk behind Seljalandsfoss. One of the rare places in the world where a path leads directly behind the falling curtain of water. Entirely private - no shared passengers. Your guide, your vehicle, your pace. The itinerary adapts entirely to your group. The complete South Coast sequence. Waterfalls, glacier, clifftop headland, black sand beach, basalt columns, sea stacks. Everything in one day. Family-friendly throughout. Children of all ages welcome.

Our guide, Ingi,...
Our guide, Ingi, absolutely made this tour! He is an Iceland native who is passionate about his county and truly loves showing the best Iceland has to offer. We had the best time. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much about what we were seeing. He also ensured we saw as much as possible on this tour.

Amazing tour & Guide
Oscar was excellent from start to finish. He took pictures of us at every stop. He went above and beyond for us. He told us about the trolls and the myths from certain locations. And made sure we were all happy and comfortable.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re really happy to hear you had such a great experience on the South Coast and that Oscar took such good care of you throughout the day. It’s great to know the stories, photos, and personal touch made the tour even more special. We truly appreciate your feedback.

The best tour of Iceland 🙌🏾
We did the South Coast tour and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day! Matt was such a great guide, super friendly, and easy to talk to :)
Response from the operator: Thank you, I really appreciate it. I’m glad the South Coast delivered and that you had such a great day. You’re always welcome back - Iceland has plenty more to show.

Great experience!
We had an amazing South Coast tour guided by Matt. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of local insights about Iceland! The tour was done at a slow pace and we really appreciated how he helped us avoid the crowds. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words. I’m happy you enjoyed the slower pace, the local insights, and skipping the crowds. It was a real pleasure guiding you both on the South Coast.

Simple amazing !!
The South Coast Tour was absolutely spectacular! From the majestic waterfalls to the otherworldly black sand beaches, every stop was more stunning than the last. Our guide was exceptional, blending knowledge with a warm, friendly approach. It’s an unforgettable journey that showcases the best of Iceland’s natural beauty. Highly recommended! 🌍✨
Response from the operator: This means the world to us – thank you! We know there are lots of options out there, so the fact that you chose us (and had a great time!) really matters. Safe travels, and come back any time – maybe next time we’ll show you a different part of the island!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1681 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 Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier Tour take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 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 Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier 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 Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier Tour?
+
Around 4 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjavik: Private South Coast Waterfalls, Beach and Glacier 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.
