Private South Coast with Jokulsarlon & Diamond Beach Tour

Reykjavik
About
Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach - the South Coast's most extraordinary double stop. Icebergs drifting across a glacial lagoon, then ice fragments scattered on black sand just across the road. Nothing in Iceland looks quite like this.
Gljúfrabúi - the hidden waterfall most tours skip. Tucked inside a narrow canyon, reached by stepping through a shallow stream. Most people who stop at Seljalandsfoss never find it.
Walk behind Seljalandsfoss - one of the rare places in the world where a path leads directly behind the falling curtain of water.
The full South Coast in one private day. Six major stops, one vehicle, one guide, your pace. No shared passengers, no fixed schedule.

Your adventure begins in Reykjavik as you leave the city behind and travel along the famous south coast of Iceland. The scenery quickly changes from colorful houses and urban streets to open farmland, lava fields, and distant glaciers.
2
Skogafoss
The first major highlight of the journey is Skogafoss Waterfall. This powerful waterfall drops from high cliffs that were once the coastline of Iceland thousands of years ago. As the water crashes down, mist rises into the air and often creates beautiful rainbows on sunny days. Visitors can walk close to the base of the waterfall or climb the stairs beside it for an incredible view from above.
30 minutes
3
Solheimajokull Glacier
Continuing east, the tour reaches Solheimajokull Glacier, one of the most accessible glaciers in Iceland. Here you will see massive ice formations mixed with black volcanic ash from past eruptions. The glacier slowly moves toward the ocean, constantly changing shape and creating dramatic textures and deep crevasses.
20 minutes
4
Dyrholaey
Next you visit the dramatic Dyrholaey viewpoint. From this cliff top location you can see sweeping views of the south coast, black sand beaches, and powerful Atlantic waves crashing against the shoreline. The famous rock arch rising from the ocean makes this location one of the most photographed spots in the region.
20 minutes
5
Reynisfjara Beach
Before reaching Vik, a short stop is made at the famous Reynisfjara. From the parking area you can admire the dramatic black volcanic sand, powerful Atlantic waves, and the impressive basalt columns rising along the cliffs. In the distance, the legendary Reynisdrangar sea stacks rise from the ocean, creating one of the most iconic coastal views in Iceland.
15 minutes
6
Glacier Lagoon
From Vik the drive continues across vast volcanic plains and glacial rivers toward one of the most spectacular natural wonders in Iceland. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is filled with floating icebergs that break away from a nearby glacier. These ice formations slowly drift across the lagoon before reaching the ocean, creating an unforgettable landscape of ice and water.
45 minutes
7
Diamond Beach
Just across the road from the lagoon lies Diamond Beach. Here pieces of clear glacial ice wash onto the black sand beach. The sunlight reflects through the ice making it sparkle like diamonds scattered along the shore.
30 minutes
8
Seljalandsfoss
On the return journey you stop at Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, one of the most unique waterfalls in Iceland. A path allows visitors to walk behind the waterfall and experience the powerful cascade from a completely different perspective.
25 minutes
9
Gljufrabui Waterfalls
Only a short walk away is the hidden waterfall of Gljufrabui. This beautiful waterfall is tucked inside a narrow canyon and is often missed by many visitors. Passing through the rocky opening reveals a magical scene where water falls into a moss covered gorge.
15 minutes
10
Vik
The journey continues to the small coastal village of Vik. Surrounded by mountains and black sand beaches, Vik offers stunning views of the sea stacks rising from the ocean just offshore. It is a perfect place to stretch your legs and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Icelandic coastal life.
