Discover the South Coast of Iceland with one of our private tours
Find the best South Coast private tour for you
The private South Coast tours are among the most popular tours and are very likely to be on your bucket list. All along the South Coast are volcanoes, some visible, and some hidden under glaciers. But all of them have a story.
Between Eyjafjallajökull, which disrupted air traffic in 2010, the Westman Islands that were evacuated in 1973, and the ongoing threats from Katla and Hekla, constantly looming over Iceland, there is always something to say about the nearby volcanoes in Southern Iceland.
The South Coast of Iceland
Long, black sand beaches. Tall and powerful waterfalls. Glacial outlet. Stone arches. This is what this sightseeing tour is about.
You will visit all the highlights of the South Coast of Iceland while hearing tales of volcanoes.
The Westman Islands
How would you feel about visiting an Island that is literally sitting on an active volcanic system? Which erupted last in 1963 and 1973?
This is what the Westman Islands (Vestmannaeyjar) are about. However, the main island of Iceland itself sits on approximately 30 active volcanic systems. So … Nothing to worry about.
Vestmannaeyjar are also the home of the biggest colony of puffins in the world. Come in the summer to see them!
South Coast and Glacier Hike
Very likely to be our best tour.
You will not only visit the Highlights of the Icelandic South Coast, but you will also hike on a glacier.
Except for warm, weatherproof clothes and sturdy shoes, no special equipment is needed, everything will be provided by your guide.
Glacier Hike on Sólheimajökull
The most accessible glacier from Reykjavík is Sólheimajökull.
Only 2,5 hours away from the capital, this glacier is partly covered with volcanic ashes, which gives it a unique look.
Hiking on a glacier is, for many, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, that we cannot recommend enough.
