What you'll see and do
After picking you up right in front of you accommodation, your departure from Reykjavik will begin! It takes around 2 hours to arrive at the first attraction. Seljalandsfoss is one of the most breath-taking waterfalls in South Iceland! The waterfall is loved by travellers because you can actually walk behind it and enjoy the view in a small cave without getting wet! Well..not too wet! Make sure you bring your waterproof clothing with you!

Skogafoss
What is a better than one waterfall? Two waterfalls! Only 30 minutes driving from the first one and you will arrive to Skogafoss. This waterfall is massive and it is great for making good photos. You will be at the foot of the imposing waterfall, whose noise is deafening. Expect to be soaked from head to toe if you venture too close! If you want you can climb the 370 steps, on your own pace, to the top of Skogafoss waterfall for an awe-inspiring view.

Solheimajokull Glacier
Next, after just 20' of driving you will arrive to the most adventurous part of our trip, to our lovely glacier! Once we arrive there, we will take a 20-min walk from the parking area to the spectacular glacier's tongue where we'll do a safety briefing instruction and help you gear up. We provide all necessary equipment. Next, you will go on the glacier where your beautiful walking exploration will begin! It is a safe experience as our qualified guide has very good knowledge of glacial features, such as crevasses. The hike is relatively easy and can be done by almost anybody. On the top of the glacier you will be able to experience the world like never before! Then, you will head back to the car where you can relax, enjoy Icelandic snacks that we will offer you, and have a warm cup of coffee.

Reynisfjara Beach
After a 35-min drive you will arrive to Reynisfjara/Black beach! That is a beach like no other. Forget the common soft, white sands of Boracay or Bali. In Iceland, what you get is wild and fierce. Storm grey organ-shaped basalt columns, jet black volcanic sand, sea stacks, and basalt caves are just some of the features to be found at Reynisfjara. Watch out for the waves and take awesome photos! After that, you will head back to Reykjavík. It is a long drive of 2 1/2 hours but you do not need to worry about that, our guide takes care of you. You can relax and get cosy in our warm and comfortable jeep. He will drop you right in front of your accommodation.

An amazing adventure in Iceland
Evan was terrific! A great personality and can-do spirit. We actually had several adventures with Evan during our stay close to Reykjavík. Thank you Evan!

Waterfalls, Glacier Hiking, and Puffins!
We had a fantastic tour with ideal weather conditions. Evangelos picked us up from our apartment on time and was fun and informative with our group, all of us in our 60's. We viewed and hiked around 2 beautiful waterfalls, and experienced hiking on the glacier until one of us in the group experienced some fear. Evangelos was patient, kind, and got us back safely. Then we saw hundreds of Puffins from the black sand beach, a highlight. It is so worth the money for a private tour with Evangelos.

Amazing
5/5 stars! Evangelos was super friendly and nice. Very well prepared. Already recommended him to more people.
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias!

Best experience ever!
Don't even know where to begin with, it was an amazing tour that had it all, waterfalls, incredible views, glacier hiking even climbing down a cliff which was breathtaking. We felt very safe in Evangelos hands who had all the equipment needed and the experience too. I definetely recommend it.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
South Coast Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does South Coast Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $2,177 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 Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep 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 Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep 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 Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep 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 Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep 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 Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep 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 Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep Tour?
+
Included: Coffee; Technical glacier equipment; and Snacks. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does South Coast Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 66 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is South Coast Tour & Glacier Hike | Private Super Jeep Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
