South Coast Buggy and Myrdalsjokull Glacier Adventure
Feel free to contact us
Description
This South Coast adventure is made for travellers who want more than a sightseeing day. It combines two of Iceland's most famous waterfalls with a guided buggy ride close to Myrdalsjokull glacier, where black volcanic sand, open river scenery and the glacier edge create a dramatic driving landscape.
The route starts from Reykjavik and follows the volcanic south toward Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss and the Myrdalsjokull area. The buggy section adds real movement and excitement to the day, while the waterfall stops keep the classic South Coast scenery firmly in the experience.
Choose this tour if you want a full South Coast day with iconic waterfalls, glacier views and an active off-road element rather than a standard bus-only sightseeing route.
Itinerary
Reykjavik and the South Coast drive
Volcanic lowlands and mountain scenery
Start from Reykjavik, with BSI Bus Terminal as the listed meeting point, and travel east through the open South Coast landscape. The drive gives you a sense of the region's scale before the waterfall and glacier-buggy stops begin.
Hvolsvollur
Practical food stop
The route includes a stop in Hvolsvollur where food can be bought. This is useful on a long adventure day, especially before or after the buggy section near the glacier.
Seljalandsfoss
Walk-behind waterfall
Seljalandsfoss is one of South Iceland's signature waterfalls. In suitable conditions, the path behind the falling water creates a memorable view through the spray, so waterproof clothing is worth bringing.
Skogafoss
Powerful South Coast waterfall
Skogafoss is wide, powerful and deeply photogenic. It is also connected with the Fimmvorduhals trail and has appeared as a dramatic backdrop in international films.
