    great private tours with Omat

    outstanding experience with Omar with whom we did two excellent private tours-goldem circle and south iceland. besides being an amazing guide who allowed us to fully enjoy all sites, he also took great photographs of my family on his high quality phone camera he whatsapped to us and came out great. communication with the company including Sarah was great before and throughout. If you come to this trulyvbeautiful country , splurge and dont take a bus tour. take a private tour with Aurora Globe, You wont regret it. Especially if you get Omar, although I am sure all the other guides are also great.

    Response from the operator: Creating memorable experiences is what private tours are all about. We’re pleased that you enjoyed exploring Iceland at your own pace and that the extra moments captured along the way became lasting memories :)

    South Coast Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does South Coast Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More cost?

    +

    Prices start at $974 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: Waterfalls, Beaches and More 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 Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 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 Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More?

    +

    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: Waterfalls, Beaches and More 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 Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More?

    +

    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 Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More 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 Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off within Reykjavík; Personalized experience with flexible pacing; Visit to all listed South Coast attractions; Complementary Hot Drinks; and Private vehicle and dedicated driver-guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does South Coast Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 70 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is South Coast Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic and 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 Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More?

    +

    Is South Coast Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to South Coast Private Tour: Waterfalls, Beaches and More if the weather is bad?

    +
