What you'll see and do
Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss waterfall has its source under the famous glacier (and volcano) Eyjafjallajökull. A 60-meter cascade flows down from a high, majestic cliff, creating a refreshing, moist mist that provides an unusual microclimate. In the summer you can walk thru the cave and see this waterfall from different perspective!

Gljufrabui Waterfalls
If you’re not afraid to get your feet wet, we’ll go into a nearby cave together, where we will find another unique waterfall. Unforgettable impressions! Partially hidden behind a rock wall, Gljufrabui Waterfall is called the hidden gem of Iceland’s south coast. Most tours skip it, but that’s… their loss. We will spend some time admiring the rushing cascade and picturesque moss-covered rocks. Along the way, we will discuss the phenomenon of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, the eruption of which in 2010 temporarily stopped flights over a large part of the world.

Skogafoss
On this section of the route, you will admire other picturesque waterfalls from the window of our car. They are also beautiful, just not as spectacular as the ones we stop at. Soon, we will reach Skogafoss, another 60m high waterfall on our way. You may recognize this one if you are a fan of Game of Thrones or Vikings, and if you climb about 600 steps to the top, you will find yourself where the iconic Landmannalaugar trekking begins. This is an 80-kilometer route included in the list of “top 20 dream trails” by National Geographic. We will share our experiences from this trek – we went through it more than once.
40 minutes here · Admission included
Solheimajokull Glacier
Next, we’ll arrive at the awe-inspiring Sólheimajökull glacier, which translates to “Sun’s Home Glacier.” After a short 15-minute walk, we’ll stand at the feet of this magnificent ice giant. This is the time to gear you up. You will receive crampons, helmets, harnesses, ice axes, and training on how to use them. Fully equipped, you’ll spend about 2.5 hours trekking across the glacier’s surface, marveling at the deep crevasses, towering ice formations, and blue ice tunnels. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Note: The glacier is retreating due to climate change, so this may be one of the last chances to explore it in full glory.

Reynisfjara Beach
Reynisfjara is the famous black sand beach that will leave you stunned. Colossal basalt rock formations constantly pounded by high ocean waves are breathtaking, and if you believe the Icelanders – the basalt columns are trolls turned to stone by the sun. Here, our guides will share exciting stories about Icelandic trolls and elves. This is also where iconic “Game of Thrones” scenes were filmed.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Vik
Vik is the southernmost spot on the mainland of Iceland. This former fishing village has only 400 inhabitants. There will be time to look for souvenirs or taste local specialties. From Vik, we will have a 2-hour drive back to Reykjavik. During this time, you might relax after a day of adventures and use Wi-Fi onboard.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik Private Wonders of the South Coast with Glacier Hike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik Private Wonders of the South Coast with Glacier Hike cost?
+
Prices start at $1749 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 Wonders of the South Coast with Glacier Hike 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 Wonders of the South Coast with Glacier Hike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 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 Reykjavik Private Wonders of the South Coast with Glacier Hike?
+
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 Wonders of the South Coast with Glacier Hike 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 Wonders of the South Coast with Glacier Hike?
+
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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjavik Private Wonders of the South Coast with Glacier Hike 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.
