It has it all.

Don't miss the chance to view the amazing waterfall Gljúfrabú (“one who lives in the canyon”) and beautiful Seljalandsfoss ,where you walk behind the waterfall itself. The tour also stop at Skógarfoss and that is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country .On the way back following the coastline and drive to the famous Black sand beach or Reynisfjara. Also stop a Dyrhólaey - a gigantic black arch of lava standing in the sea and one more amazing waterfall Urriðafoss located in the river Þjórsá in southwest Iceland.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Urridafoss Waterfall
Urriðafoss is a waterfall located in the river Þjórsá in southwest Iceland.
2. Hvolsvollur
Stop for toilet and coffee (not included in the price of the tour)
3. Seljalandsfoss
This breathtaking waterfall will leave your jaw dropped. You have definitely seen pictures of Seljalandasfoss but nothing beats the experience of getting a little wet when walking behind the falling water!
4. Skogafoss
This waterfall is a completely different beast! A huge amount of water is dropping down with tremendous force forming an everpresent water mist that creates beautiful rainbows. It feels like you can almost touch them.
5. Reynisfjara Beach
This is certainly one of the brightest highlights of this tour. Named one of the top 10 beaches in the whole world by National Geographic, this spectacular location will leave you speechless. Basalt stacks, roaring waves and stunning scenery!
6. Urridafoss Waterfall
Urriðafoss is a waterfall located in the river Þjórsá in southwest Iceland. The Fossafélagið Títan company was given permission in 1927 to build a power plant in Urriðafoss in connection with a railway to Reykjavík from the waterfall. It did not happen but now Landsvirkjun is planning to build hydropower stations on the lower part of Þjórsár river, at Urriðafoss and Núpur.
7. Vik
We will make another stop in this charming little town.
8. Dyrholaey
The small peninsula, or promontory, Dyrhólaey (0.192 Miles / 120 meters) (formerly known as “Cape Portland” by seamen) is located on the south coast of Iceland, not far from the village Vík. It was formerly an island of volcanic origin, which is also known by the Icelandic word eyja meaning island. The view from Dyrhólaey is interesting: To the north is to be seen the big glacier Mýrdalsjökull. To the east, the black lava columns of the Reynisdrangar come out of the sea, and to the west, the whole coastline in the direction of Selfoss is visible – depending on weather conditions. In front of the peninsula, there is a gigantic black arch of lava standing in the sea, which gave the peninsula its name (meaning: the hill-island with the door-hole).
9. Solheimajokull Glacier
A stunning location where you can experience glacier from up close! Walk along the glacier lagoon and touch the ice itself.

Anton made a cloudy, rainy tour of South Iceland brighter by providing the humor and information we needed throughout the day. Breathtaking sights even on dreary weather day. We will definitely be back.

Even though we booked a small group tour, it was just the 3 of us - so it was perfect VIP treatment from Anton and Back to Iceland Travel!
We had all the time we needed at each stop, and we were free to explore however we wanted.
Anton had a great sense of humour and gave us plenty of interesting information on the tour, but also gave us time to rest quietly - it was a perfect mix!
The South Coast is a MUST do in Iceland. Stunning scenery with a perfect guide!
Highly recommend Back to Iceland Travel.

Anton was amazing, we got a private tour when everyone else cancelled and we decided to take our chances on the weather and it all worked out and we got to see the most beautiful part of the country. I was very impressed with the beauty and Anton was an efficient driver who avoided the crowds and kept us well informed on everything. Thank you Anton!

This was a great experience thanks to our guide, Ian. He was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Kept us fully entertained for the entire 12 hour day. It was well worth the money.

My extended family and I booked private tours from Reykjavik to Golden Circle, South Coast, and to Blue Lagoon through Back to Iceland. Attached photos are from all the different tours. We also booked all of our airport transfers through them. The owners and their other guides were all excellent! Cannot recommend them enough. They were prompt and provided a lot of information along the tour routes. The owner Anton was our guide for the South Coast tour and was especially great. Highly recommend Back to Iceland!

I cant say enough good things about Anton. He was professional, personable, and generous with his time and knowledge. 10/10 recommend this tour and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with this company next time we’re in Iceland. Thank you!

We did a South Coast tour with Anton of Back to Iceland tour. It was the best experience ever. He was extremely knowledgeable and a wealth of information on Iceland and the sights we saw. Also they were very accommodating for the tour as our cruise ship was docking late in the morning and was able to fit our schedule. You could not ask for a better tour company/guide and we highly recommend Back to Iceland.

Great tour… Anton, our tour guide/company owner, promise to get us back to the cruise ship in time and he did! We enjoyed the waterfalls and the hike to the glacier as well as his secret spot to spy some puffins.
