Experience the stunning South Coast of Iceland. Black sand beaches, waterfalls, glaciers, Diamond beach, and more. See the floating icebergs on the glacier lagoon! After pickup, we drive out of Reykjavik, past the Hellisheidi Geothermal Power plant. You will see the water vapors rising in the air. We drive along the South Coast all the way to Hvolsvollur town.
As we drive along Iceland's epic South Coast, we will visit Iceland's most beautiful natural attractions. And if there won't be enough of the South Coast gems, there is an opportunity to join the mesmerizing boat ride at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon as an extra activity for an additional cost.

It is possible to walk behind the waterfall and experience some hidden magic behind the 60-meter/197 ft cascade. Its water origins directly at the magnificent volcano glacier, Eyjafjallajokull. You might even see a double rainbow if you are lucky! Don't forget the raincoat as you will get wet from the drizzle! (Please note that the path behind the cascade may be closed during winter as it gets too slippery and dangerous.)
This epic lagoon is the biggest star on the South Coast. The dream-like glacier lake - the deepest lake in the country - is situated at the southern end of the Vatnajökull ice cap. As the glacier retreats, icebergs of all sizes and shapes break off its tip floating across the lagoon, drifting slowly from the glacier's tip towards the ocean. This exciting environment is constantly changing as the massive glacier tongue retreats more and more.
Jokulsarlon has appeared in many movies. To name a few: Batman Begins and the James Bond movies: A View to a Kill and Die Another Day. We spend some time here enjoying the magnificent scenery.
A short walk away, you can find the Diamond Beach (or Crystal Beach), a nearby black sand beach where the enormous icebergs are washed ashore and break into millions of ice crystals, decorating the sand as glittering diamonds.
The small seaside village of Vík, also known as Vík í Mýrdal, is the southernmost village in Iceland. It has around 300 inhabitants, making it the largest settlement in the area.
One of the most famous sights in Vík is the tiny little church, named Víkurkirkja, sitting on the top of a hill over the village. The cliffs around Vík create absolutely breathtaking scenery!
