Overview

Experience this magnificent full-day tour of the wonders of Iceland’s south coast, including Jokulsarlon, the deep glacial lagoon and surreal place that will take your breath away. Take an hour boat ride through the lagoon to sail between icebergs of all shapes and sizes at the foot of Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier. Visit the South Coast’s main attractions, such as Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, and stroll along the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara and Diamond Beach.

Itinerary

  • Seljalandsfoss

    Seljalandsfoss is a supremely graceful waterfall fed by the meltwater of the Eyjafjallajokull glacier. This impressive natural wonder falls about 63 meters (200 feet) into the quiet pool below, and there is a hidden trail behind the falls so that you can watch the waterfall from all directions.

    30 minutes

  • Reynisfjara Beach

    Reynisfjara is the most famous black sand beach on the south coast of Iceland. Its beautiful black sand and pebbles, vertical basalt columns, powerful ocean waves, and the nearby Reinisdrangar sea cliffs make Reinisfjara a truly unique place to visit.

    30 minutes

  • Glacier Lagoon

    The Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon is part of the Vatnajokull National Park. The lagoon constantly changes; blue, white, turquoise, and even black icebergs drift and creak in ice dance. Icebergs are 1000-year-old chunks of the retreating Breidamerkurjokull Glacier that break off, melt, and float into the ocean. The lagoon is connected to the sea through a small strait, through which saltwater enters the lagoon during high tides, giving the water a unique blue-green color. The lagoon offers boat tours from May to September.

    2 hours

  • Diamond Beach

    Diamond Beach is a stretch of black sand on the south coast of Iceland. Here, small icebergs from a Jokulsarlon lagoon wash up on the black sand and resemble diamonds. The contrast of crystal ice and black sand beach is simply breathtaking.

    20 minutes

  • Skogafoss (Pass By)

    Skogafoss, one of Iceland's largest and most elegant waterfalls, is 25 meters (75 feet) wide and 60 meters (195 feet) high. A waterfall of this size generates a lot of sprays, which on sunny days often creates a bright single or even double rainbow, adding to the charm of Skogafoss Falls. We will walk to the waterfall's base and climb the stairs to the observation deck to see the waterfall from above.

Iceland the greatest trip ever!

Published on Aug, 2021

My mother and I went on this trip and we will remember it forever! We had so much fun traveling the southern coast. There are endless spots to see. Sergei and Denis, our guides were AMAZING! Top Iceland tours is so accommodating to any guest. They know all the best spots to see. The owner Sergei is very sweet and all he wants is for his customers to have a great time. You will fall in love with Iceland just as we did! If you are looking to have a stress free, trip of a life time Top Iceland tours is the way to go! 100% recommend!

Squeezing every second out of a long South Coast Excursion from Reykjavik.

Published on Aug, 2021

Glacier Lagoon, And the smaller glacier lagoon near it, and then the 3 different waterfalls we saw were, as well as the black sand beach, and the entire scenery of the drive, were awesome. Sergei was a terrific and enthusiastic guide for a very long day, and his English was excellent with no difficulty communicating at all. We are from the Philadelphia area and this trip was amazing for us. A very long day, but so worth it if you are staying in Reykjavik and not otherwise traveling to the east of Iceland. I would highly recommend Sergei and this excursion. By the way he is an excellent photographer and knew where and how to get the perfect pictures of us using our iPhones.

Great experience

Published on Aug, 2021

We had an excellent guide Sergei who was very kind, gentle and knew a lot about the history of the country, the land, vulcanos, waterfalls. He took his time, did not rush us and arranged everything just perfectly. We can recommend this tour very much!

South Coast and Glacier Lagoon

Published on Oct, 2019

We spent a 15 hour day with Sergei all the way to the glacier lagoon. On the way we stopped at beautiful waterfalls and a black sand beach. The zodiac boat ride through the icebergs at the lagoon was definitely a highlight. It left us planning to return to be able to spend more time in specific areas. Sergei was very knowledgeable and personable, and he offered us valuable information on how to approach our next visit.

Spectacular Family Adventure!

Published on Aug, 2018

Spent an incredible day with Sergei! For starters, he connected with us in advance to review the itinerary. We noted two stops that we had seen previously. No problem. Sergei suggested two changes that were just breathtaking. He knows this country! Our eventual location was the lagoon, far from Reykjavik. The drive was incredible - filled with great information, rest time and many laughs. Even stopped for Cheeseburgers on the way home. For the lagoon, Sergei recommended we take advantage of the Zodiac boat tour of the glacier - UP CLOSE - a winner. We booked this in advance and Sergei got us to our reservation just in time. Iceland is an amazing adventure. Sergei was an amazing guide. Don’t miss this!
