What you'll see and do
Gljufrabui Waterfalls
Gljúfrafoss is a beautiful 40-meter waterfall hiding in a narrow secret canyon, just a few minutes away from Seljalandsfoss and the name Gljúfrabúi says it all but it transalates into “the one who lives in the canyon”. But be ready to be a little wet so bring extra socks.

Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss waterfall is a powerful waterfall at the southcoast with a dramatic 60-meter (197 feet) drop. This amazing waterfall has a very unique structure since the cliffs behind the waterfall have a wide cavern, allowing everyone to fully encircle the waterfall from behind.

Skógafoss, which means “forest waterfall’ in Icelandic’, is one of Iceland’s talles and most beautiful waterfalls, with dramatic 60-meter drop (197 feet), and one of the few waterfalls that can be viewed from the top and the bottom. A unique thing about Skógarfoss waterfall is that you can walk, or should we say climb to the top of the hill where the waterfall is coming down, only 527 steps. From there, you will be able to see how the waterfall forms, and will be greeted with a beatiful view over the waterfall. The land near the waterfall is very flat, allowing everyone to easily get close to this beauty which is so very unique, a lifetime experience.

Solheimajokull Glacier
The magnificent Sólheimajökull glacier or the “Sun Home Glacier” like the name is in Icelandic. We will walk to the glacier, pass the glacial lagoon and stop in front of the glacier, so close that you can almost stretch to touch the green, blue, shiny icecold icebergs. Sólheimajökull is one of the most beatiful outlet glaciers in Iceland but melting fast like most of our glaciers so enjoy it while you can.

Reynisfjara Beach
Reynisfjara – also known as the Black Sand Beach is the most famous black sand beaches in Iceland and we do have many. Black sand beaches form after repeated volcanic eruptions, slowly eroding the lava over thousand and millions of years. At the Black Sand Beach you will also see the amazing basalt columns. Basalt columns have a special shape because of the way the lava cools, very slowly and cracking in to this shape. It is very rare to find basalt columns like this anywhere else in the world.

Dyrholaey
Dyrhólaey means “Door Hill Island” but this “island” is one of the best viewpoints over the South Coast. On a clear day you will see Eyjafjalljökull glacier as well as Mýrdalsjökull glacier on one side and the Black Sand Beach on the other. The waves of the Atlantic Ocean to your left and right trying to erode the land away. No matter the weather, a visit here is always something that shows you the Iceland nature in its pure form. And in summer this is one of the best places in Iceland to see puffins up close while they’re visiting Iceland.
30 minutes here · Admission included
The Hjörleifshöfði cave or the “Yoda cave” is a nice extra stop close to the village of Vík. On our jeep we will drive on the black volcanic sand to the cave. It does not matter if you are a Stars Wars fan or not - the uniqe shape of the door is fun for everyone to see. Notice - in winter this stop may be cancelled if there is heavy snow on the track.
15 minutes here · Admission included
Vik
The nice village of Vík is a must see when travelling the South Coast of Iceland. The most southernous town in Iceland and also the only one without a harbour - for a reason as you will see when we stop by the local church - also a very beatiful viewpoint over the village and Reynisdranger Sea Cliffs.

Great experience
I really enjoyed this. Big roomy car and knowledgeable guide. I learned loads, saw a lot without any stress and he was patient with my terrible pronunciation of Icelandic words.
Response from the operator: I loved your pronunciation of the Icelandic words Eleanor and thank you for joining me at the South Coast

Private Tour with Omar = the best!
This was our first time treating ourselves to a private tour (after doing a group tour the day before on the golden circle). We couldn’t have been happier with our experience and our local guide Sigfus Omar! Omar taught us so much about the island, the history, the food, and knew exactly where to go for each stop (and get the most favorable pictures). His Land Rover moved us around in style and he treated us to some local delicacies. We’ve already told our friends to book this tour and ask for Omar if you really want to see the real Iceland! Thanks for everything~
Response from the operator: Hi hi Andrew - thank you very much for this kind words and we are so happy you liked our tour. We want to give a local and authentic expirence and that we can do with good guides like Omar. So happy you enjoyed our tour. All the best in your future adventures - Jónas

South Coast Premium Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does South Coast Premium Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,750 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 South Coast Premium Private Tour 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 South Coast Premium Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 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 South Coast Premium Private 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 South Coast Premium Private Tour 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 South Coast Premium Private Tour?
+
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 South Coast Premium Private 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.
What is included in South Coast Premium Private Tour?
+
Included: Crampons if needed in wintertime; and Parking fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does South Coast Premium Private Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 66 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is South Coast Premium Private Tour 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 South Coast Premium Private Tour?
+
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 South Coast Premium Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to South Coast Premium Private Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
