What you'll see and do
Seljalandsfoss waterfall
Take this opportunity to enjoy a one of a kind chance to walk behind the cascading waterfall. It’s best to have good shoes and waterproof clothing as this can be a wet, cold but exhilarating experience. The drive from Reykjavik is 1 hour 45 minutes.
60 minutes here
Skogafoss
One of the most famously photographed waterfall in Iceland where numerous movie or tv scenes were filmed such as Game of Thrones. Skogafoss is a 60 meter drop waterfall that you can see up close. There is also an option to see the water from above by climbing the stairwell on the side of the waterfall. The drive from Seljalandsfoss is 20min.
60 minutes here
You can take a view of the volcano that erupted in 2010. It's a calm and magnificent sight. Travellers can make a quick stop or opt to just pass.
10 minutes here
Solheimajokull Glacier
It's the nearest glacier that can be viewed when heading to south of Iceland since it's an outlet of a titanic icecap Mýrdalsjökull.
Pass by without stopping
Vik
This coastal stretch is adorned with stunning landscapes that will leave any visitor awe-struck. It's the southern most part of Iceland. Travelers will have a view from the top of the popular church overlooking the magnificent horizon that extends to the Reynisfjara beach. This is a good stop for refreshments. Vik is approx. 30min away from Skogafoss and since this is the last stop the drive back home will take 2.5 hours
60 minutes here
This is the last stop of the itinerary before heading back to capital. This is another popular spot and usually crowded at peak hours so it's best to plan the stop wisely. Travelers will see magnificent basalt columns. At low tide, they can head to the cave that faces the ocean. The beach is powerful and dangerous so it's best to keep a safe distance. The black sand is naturally made of powdered lava.

South Coast Private Tour Iceland: Exceptional Private Tour with Deyan!!!
We highly recommend the private Viator tour we took! Our guide, Deyan, was absolutely exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable about the region, and was able to fill in the time between stops with information relevant to both our specific stops and Iceland history in general, both culturally and historically. He let us stay as long as we wished at the advertised stops, and also threw in a couple extra stops. He took us to a site where we could see Puffins up close, and another to provide a beautiful off-road high-up view of the town with the black sand beach. Lunch was perfect, and Deyan spent over nine hours with us. As a group of six first-time visitors to Iceland, we couldn't recommend this tour more!

Fantastic Tour
Our guide was so knowledgeable, tailored our trip to us. Made sure we saw what we wanted and was just a safe driver. Totally worth the money would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you

December in Iceland
My husband and I had a fantastic South Coast Tour of Iceland with Dan. We visited two beautiful waterfalls, walked up to a glacier, enjoyed a lovely lunch in Vík at a great brewery, and stopped at the stunning black sand beach near Vík. Dan was an excellent driver and guide, and the Icelandic landscape throughout the tour was absolutely unbelievable. We highly recommend this tour.

We had an amazing day on...
We had an amazing day on our South Coast tour! Our guide, Dan, was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great stories. He shared so much about Iceland’s history and culture along the way and made sure we didn’t miss a single beautiful sight. We enjoyed a great lunch, lots of laughs, and truly had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour — and especially Dan!

Timeless nature and priceless memories
This was an amazing trip of fire and ice, erupting volcanoes to grand glacier caves, surreal hidden waterfalls which danced to the tunes of the winds and landscape so beautiful that we had to pinch ourselves to check if we are dreaming. Iceland is grand but we had the optimum experience due to Iceland on wheels’ from the time Deyan Nikolov picked us up from the airport till the entire stay he was amazing. He was professional patient and courteous but at the same time very realistic and gave us the facts straight and did not sugarcoat the challenges ahead for the weather is a temperamental mistress in Iceland and is finicky. Deyan opened doors to magical spots where the normal tourists were scarce and was great with a camera too😊. He showed us the best places to eat and the awesome places and what time of the day to visit them and I doubt if the trip would have been as grand if not for him. The man started as a driver then a guide and cameraman and a couple day later became part of the family and a brother. If you plan on Iceland, look up Deyan and I hope for your sake he is available and if he is you will have a trip of a lifetime, cheers!
Response from the operator: It brings us great joy to learn that you and your family had a remarkable experience in Iceland. We sincerely appreciate your positive feedback, especially the personal service provided by our guide, Deyan. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you back to explore further the wonders of this magnificent island.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
South Coast Private Tour Iceland: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does South Coast Private Tour Iceland cost?
+
Prices start at $1200 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 Private Tour Iceland take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Tour Iceland worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Private Tour Iceland?
+
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 Private Tour Iceland suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book South Coast Private Tour Iceland?
+
Around 2 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does South Coast Private Tour Iceland 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.
