Amazing tour!!
Sorin was our tour guide for the day. He was knowledgeable of the area and provided us a lot of information as we drove. We had a 6 year old with us, who loves to joke, and Sorin played along with him very well, which I really appreciate! It's a long ride so I appreciate the effort in keeping my son entertained. Sorin adjusted our itinerary on the fly as we discussed things we'd love to see. In addition to the original itinerary, Sorin was able to fit in a stop to see the Puffins, the dwarfs cliff to see basalt columns (it's in the middle of nowhere and it was beautiful), and took us to another fall that was about a 10 min walk from Seljalandsfoss. Both waterfall was amazing! Sorin also tried to add in the amphibian boat tour at the Glacier Lagoon for us but unfortunately, all the boat tours that day were cancelled due to wind. Instead, we spent more time there admiring the beauty of the lagoon. Because the Puffin site close at 7 pm, we only had a short time at Reynisfjara beach before heading over to see the Puffins. Once we got to the site, we saw a lot of Puffins at the edge of the cliff. They were flying and gliding so fast! Most were hanging out at the edge so we were able to take a few pictures. It was very windy but was worth it! By the time we got back to our hotel, it was about 11pm. Somehow our tour ended up to be 16 hrs but it went by so quickly! I still think about this tour a lot. The waterfalls were just amazing. Amazing is an understatement. Pictures doesn't do its justice. If you're thinking about this tour, just do it. Having a private tour means flexibility. Let them know what you like to see most and they will work with you.

The Magical South of Iceland
It was such an amazing and memorable experience. Every stop along the way was so unique and magical. Alex was our guide and he was great, his attention to detail and adaptability to what we wanted to see and do was perfect, he made the prefect itinerary so we could make the most of our time, and even helped me days before the tour to prepare my proposal to my girlfriend which turned out really special. Best guide and tour you’ll find.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
South Coast with Diamond Beach Private Tour from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does South Coast with Diamond Beach Private Tour from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $1560 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 with Diamond Beach Private Tour from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 with Diamond Beach Private Tour from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 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 with Diamond Beach Private Tour from Reykjavik?
+
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 with Diamond Beach Private Tour from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book South Coast with Diamond Beach Private Tour from Reykjavik?
+
Around 11 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does South Coast with Diamond Beach Private Tour from Reykjavik 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.
