Description
Shape a private 14-hour South Coast journey around your group, with Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach as the defining highlights.
Flexible pacing, a personal driver-guide and free Reykjavík pickup create room for waterfalls, black-sand scenery and selected route-dependent stops without turning the day into a fixed coach itinerary.
The verified route can include Seljalandsfoss, Gljúfrabúi, Skógafoss, Dyrhólaey, Reynisfjara and Vík. Fjaðrárgljúfur or Kirkjubæjarklaustur may also be included when time, weather and access allow.
Seasonal lagoon boat or kayaking activities cost extra and must be selected in advance. Separate age, height and weight requirements apply to those optional activities.
