About this experience

This private 12-hour tour takes you along Iceland's spectacular South Coast in your choice of vehicle — a Monster Truck (up to 10 passengers), a Super Jeep (up to 6 passengers), or a Luxury SUV (up to 6 passengers) — with a dedicated driver-guide and a flexible schedule tailored entirely to your group.

Heading east from Reykjavík, the route passes through the villages of Selfoss, Vík, and Kirkjubæjarklaustur before reaching Skógafoss, one of Iceland's most photographed waterfalls. The journey continues across the vast black desert of Skeiðarársandur, where glacial rivers carry millions of tonnes of volcanic sand to the Atlantic each year, constantly reshaping the coastline.

Just before the lagoon, the route passes Öræfajökull glacier, home to Iceland's highest peak, Hvannadalshnjúkur, at 2,119 m. Beyond it lies Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon — a constantly evolving natural wonder where icebergs in every shade of blue, turquoise, and white calve from the glacier and drift across mirror-still water. You will have ample time to walk the shoreline and photograph the surreal scenery. An optional amphibious boat cruise among the ice formations is available at an additional cost.

The tour also takes in Skaftafell within Vatnajökull National Park and the volcanic black sand beaches of the South Coast. Because this is a fully private tour, the schedule can be adjusted to suit your group's interests, and additional activities can be arranged on request.

Experience details

Your driver-guide collects your group from your hotel in the Reykjavík capital area. The tour heads east along the South Coast, with stops at Skógafoss waterfall and through the black volcanic sand deserts shaped by Iceland's powerful glacial rivers.

Continuing east, you pass Öræfajökull glacier before arriving at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where you have free time to walk the shores and take in the floating icebergs. An optional amphibious boat cruise is available at an extra charge for a closer look at the ice formations.

The tour also covers Skaftafell and the broader Vatnajökull glacier region. Because this is a private booking, the itinerary is flexible — your guide can adjust stops and pacing to suit your group. Note that the itinerary is subject to weather and road conditions. Terrain at some stops can be uneven, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

Why choose this tour

This is a fully private tour — the vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group, and the schedule is yours to shape. Choose the Monster Truck for an adventurous ride with off-road capability, the Super Jeep for a classic Iceland experience, or the Luxury SUV for a more comfortable journey on paved routes.

Your driver-guide provides personal, attentive service throughout the day. Additional activities — including glacier hiking, ice cave visits, snowmobiling, and more — can be added to the itinerary on request, making this one of the most customisable full-day tours available on the South Coast.
