About this experience
↓
This private 11-hour Super Jeep tour follows Iceland's spectacular South Coast from Reykjavík, delivering an ever-changing panorama of waterfalls, volcanic landscapes, and raw coastal scenery. Along the way you'll pass views of Hekla, Iceland's most active volcano, the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano, and the distant Westman Islands.
The itinerary takes in two of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss is unique in that visitors can walk behind the cascading curtain of water for a truly immersive perspective. Skógafoss, standing 65 metres tall and 25 metres wide, is one of the largest waterfalls in the country — legend even claims a chest of gold is hidden behind it.
After visiting the southernmost village of Vík, the tour leaves the main road entirely. Your modified Super Jeep navigates off-road terrain to reach the base of the Katla glacier, a tongue of ice flowing from Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland's fourth-largest glacier. Here you'll gear up with provided crampons and helmets before exploring the crystal blue ice caves carved into the glacier's base.
The tour also stops at Reynisfjara, the South Coast's most visited black sand beach, where dramatic Atlantic waves crash against the shore and the basalt sea stacks of Reynisdrangar rise from the ocean. All guides are trained in glacial exploration and hold first aid certification.

Frequently asked questions
What makes this tour different from a standard South Coast day tour?↓
This is a private tour in a modified Super Jeep, which allows the group to leave the Ring Road entirely and drive off-road to the Katla glacier. Standard coaches cannot access this terrain, so the ice cave visit is exclusive to Super Jeep tours.
Are crampons and helmets provided for the glacier?↓
Yes. Crampons and helmets are provided by the operator at the glacier. You do not need to bring or hire your own equipment.
What is the minimum age for this tour?↓
The minimum age is 8 years. Children younger than 8 are not permitted to participate.
What should I wear and bring?↓
Warm outdoor clothing, a hat, gloves or mittens, and rain gear are essential. Bring a camera or phone. The operator provides all glacier safety equipment on the day.
How does hotel pickup work?↓
Pickup from the Reykjavík capital area is included and mandatory. At booking, select the bus stop closest to your accommodation. Your exact pickup details are confirmed at checkout.
Can I do this tour in winter?↓
Yes, the tour operates in winter. The off-road section to the Katla glacier can be more demanding in winter conditions, but the Super Jeep is equipped to handle it. Ice caves are a year-round feature of the Katla glacier.
