Description
Connect the South Coast’s great waterfalls and black-sand shoreline with both Fjallsárlón and Jökulsárlón on a private 14-hour journey.
Free Reykjavík-area pickup, a private driver-guide and two contrasting glacier lagoons make this a strong choice for travellers who want the full southeast route in one carefully organised day.
The verified itinerary includes Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Reynisfjara, Vík, Fjallsárlón, Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach. A seasonal lagoon boat or kayaking experience may be available as a paid extra during booking. Select only one optional activity because it changes the total duration.
Itinerary
Free Reykjavík-Area Pickup
Private southbound departure
Start from the location selected during booking and travel through the coastal lowlands towards the waterfalls and glaciers of South Iceland.
Seljalandsfoss
Waterfall below the old sea cliffs
See the narrow cascade fall from the former coastline. When the path is open, the cavern behind the water offers a memorable close-up perspective.
Skógafoss
Powerful 60-metre waterfall
Experience one of the South Coast’s largest waterfalls from below, or climb beside it for a broader view across the coastal plain.
Reynisfjara and Vík
Black sand, basalt and a village break
Visit the volcanic shore beneath Reynisfjall before pausing in Vík. Follow the warning system and your guide’s instructions around Reynisfjara’s powerful waves.
Fjallsárlón
A smaller, mountain-framed glacier lagoon
See floating ice beneath Fjallsjökull in a quieter lagoon with a close mountain backdrop. It provides a distinct contrast to the larger lagoon visited next.
Jökulsárlón
Iceland’s best-known glacier lagoon
Watch ancient ice drift across the deep lagoon below Breiðamerkurjökull, with colours and formations that change throughout the day.
Diamond Beach
Ice beside the Atlantic
Walk beside pieces of glacier ice scattered across black volcanic sand after travelling from the lagoon to the ocean.

It combines the classic South Coast waterfalls and black-sand scenery with both Fjallsárlón and Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach and private Reykjavík-area transport.
Fjallsárlón is smaller and closely framed by mountains, while Jökulsárlón is larger and connects directly to the ocean beside Diamond Beach.
Seasonal lagoon activities may be available as paid booking additions. Select only one, because each option changes the total tour duration.
