Great way to see the South Coast
We has a great hassle free trip around the South coast with Nice travel. Prompt at the meeting time. Stops are easy to find. If you don't fancy driving or just want to relax and enjoy being ferried around the island this trip is perfect. Obviously the sights are stunning and there was just enough time between stops so not to get bored. The most credit has to go to our guide, Dominique (hope I spelt it right). Very friendly, full of knowledge and you can tell has a genuine love of where she lives. We had 2 trips with Nice this week, both excellent

Gorgeous
Phillip was awesome. He is on time. Personable. He picked us up at our hotel and we noticed his friendly demeanor. Knowledgeable. Works solo. Loves his job. South Coast is beautiful. We saw the waterfalls including the one you can walk behind and the one you can climb the hill. Both had rainbows. Saw the beautiful black sand beach and the cave with gorgeous formations. This tour is definitely one you don’t want to miss.

Wonderful tour
Saw so many beautiful places. The tour guide was very informative and friendly. It was a long journey but the stops were well spaced and worthwhile. It was worth every penny.
via Viator
One of the best tours I have been on.
Wonderful tour. We hit all the highlights. Phillip was an excellent guide. There was a vehicle that pulled out in front of us. Phillips driving skills saved us from a very serious accident. Highly recommend the tour and the guide, Phillip.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
South Coast Waterfall, Black Beach, Glacier Adventure Small Group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does South Coast Waterfall, Black Beach, Glacier Adventure Small Group cost?
+
Prices start at $129 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 Waterfall, Black Beach, Glacier Adventure Small Group 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 Waterfall, Black Beach, Glacier Adventure Small Group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 547 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 Waterfall, Black Beach, Glacier Adventure Small Group?
+
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 Waterfall, Black Beach, Glacier Adventure Small Group 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 Waterfall, Black Beach, Glacier Adventure Small Group?
+
Around 191 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 Waterfall, Black Beach, Glacier Adventure Small Group 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.
