Enjoy the views of the incredible South Coast with a private, guided tour exploring Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, Vík í Mýrdal, Dyrhólaey, waterfalls, Black Sand Beaches, majestic rock formations, and mountains. This tour is perfect for visitors who are looking to see Iceland's southern attractions and sights, without the stress of being in a larger group tour.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Glacier Lagoon
Glacier Lagoon, Jökulsárlón, located in the Vatnajökull national park. The lagoon is made up of meltwater from the massive glacier, Vatnajökull, and is everchanging from the force of the glacier retreats. When the ice breaks away from the glacier it wanders through the lagoon and towards the ocean, a truly astonishing sight.
2. Black Sand Beach
Black Sand Beach, Reynisfjara, known for its dark sand, beautiful view, dangerous waves and fascinating cliffs and rocks.
3. Skogafoss
Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of more than 60 meters and a width of 25 meters, and you can walk right up to, but be prepared to be drenched.
4. Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss is one of the best-known waterfalls in Iceland. It is 65 meters tall and it is breathtaking. A path leads you behind the waterfall, but do bring a raincoat as you will get soaking wet from the drizzle. It is fantastic walking behind Seljalandsfoss, especially on a sunny day when one can catch a rainbow.
5. Vatnajokull Glacier
Vatnajökull, also known as the Water Glacier in English, is the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland.
6. Dyrholaey
Dyrhólaey, formerly known by seamen as Cape Portland, is a small promonotory 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
7. Fellsfjara
The Diamond Beach is a strip of black sand belonging to the greater Breiðamerkursandur glacial plain, located by Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon on the South Coast of Iceland. Here, the icebergs which fill Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon wash up on shore, standing dazzling and defiant in stark contrast to the black sand beach.
8. Reynisfjara Beach
Black Sand Beach, Reynisfjara, known for its dark sand, beautiful view, dangerous waves and fascinating cliffs and rocks.
9. Vik
We are stopping here by the fascinating old curch of Vík, for an exceptional view from above the town, enjoying the Blacksand beach and Reynisdrangar cliffs.

If I could give 100 stars, I would. This is the best private tour we had. They were extremely nice, hospitable, and very informative too.

We will definitely return to Iceland because of them. This tour made our Iceland Trip unforgettable.

We were so happy to sit back and leave the driving and expertise to Ern and Vania- everywhere you look, there is beauty. This was a full day tour seeing the highlights of the South shore. The waterfalls, beaches, glaciers and lagoons all had something unique and special to offer. Ern and Vania were fun to get to know, very attentive to what we wanted/needed, and provide safe and comfortable travel.

The whole journey was fabulous. We went with the Private vehicle tour from Diamond Tours. Orm our guide was fabulous. Knowledgeable, entertaining and courteous. We were in a Mercedes van which made the travel very comfortable. The sites we visited are breathtakingly beautiful. 14 hours flew by. This is a must do. Thank you Orm for making it a memorable experience!

Orn was our guide for the day and did an amazing job. He picked us up promptly at 7AM and kept my family engaged through what was a 15 hour day! We booked a zodiac boat ride on the lagoon (highly recommend) and he ensured we arrived safely there on time, but did not miss a stop along the way including lunch. Highly recommend Orn and Diamond Travel! 💎 🌟

This was an absolute joy of a tour. Oren and Vania were the best hosts and an absolute pleasure to be around. We have been in Iceland for two weeks, so they took us to some places off the beaten path.

We booked this trip because we wanted, as first timers in the country, to experience as most as we could from the country. Don't have any regrets about booking this trip. Our driver was friendly, willing and able to show the country, the southern part of it. The tour was originally set for 14 hours, but it was extended tp 16 hours! And our driver was willing to keep going. He is very proud of his country and wanted to shows us the beautiful and enchanted landscapes and attractions in the country. Highly recommended, especially if you don't have too much time to spend at the country and you want to use the opportunities up to the maximum extent.

This was incredible. A little more effort than I expected trying to stamp your feet into the ice with crampons to ensure you didn’t slide. If you have knee problems, be advised. It rained the entire time so we couldn’t get s good view of the glacier we were climbing but still amazing. Layers are the way to go. Bring sturdy over the ankle shoes.

Just a tip .
Was suprised to see no ice on the beach.
Current and wind had left all the ice on the inner edge of the lagoon on the other side of the beach from the cafe.
