About this experience

Waterfalls & Mystical Black Sand Beaches

The South Coast, a realm of waterfalls and mystical black sand beaches, awaits your exclusive adventure. Discover the dramatic beauty of this world-famous region on a captivating private day tour with Moonwalker. Journey along the stunning coastline, where powerful waterfalls plunge from ancient cliffs and mystical black volcanic sands meet the wild Atlantic Ocean, expertly guided by our team of local experts in a sophisticated Land Rover Discovery.

Your Private Comfort Vehicle: The Land Rover Discovery

On this South Coast Comfort Tour, your exclusive transport is a comfortable Moonwalker Land Rover Discovery. Known for its perfect balance of smooth on-road travel, spaciousness, and reliable capability, the Discovery is the ideal vehicle for exploring the iconic South Coast route. It ensures your private journey is as comfortable as it is visually stunning, allowing your group to relax and fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery.

Chase Cascades: Gluggafoss, Seljalandsfoss & Skógafoss

Your private adventure begins as we travel south from Reykjavik along Route 1, quickly entering a landscape of striking contrasts. Your dedicated guide will lead you to some of Iceland’s most magnificent waterfalls. We start with the beautiful and less-visited Gluggafoss (Window Falls), a unique cascade flowing through interesting rock formations. Next, prepare for a truly immersive experience at Seljalandsfoss waterfall, famous for the pathway that allows your group to walk behind the cascading water (conditions permitting), feeling its refreshing spray. Continuing east, you’ll arrive at the mighty Skógafoss, one of Iceland’s largest and most powerful waterfalls. Stand at its base and feel the thunderous roar, or climb the steps alongside for panoramic views.

Dramatic Coastline: Dyrhólaey & Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

The South Coast is also home to some of the most spectacular coastlines. We visit Dyrhólaey, a dramatic promontory known for its colossal rock arch and towering cliffs (seasonal birdlife). From here, you’ll enjoy incredible panoramic views over the coastline and the black sands. Your journey culminates at the world-famous Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Prepare to be mesmerized by the striking contrast of the smooth black volcanic sand against the powerful Atlantic waves. Marvel at the incredible hexagonal basalt columns and the dramatic Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Experience the raw power of the ocean here, guided by an expert who prioritizes your safety near the unpredictable waves.

Throughout your private day tour in the Discovery, you’ll also enjoy distant views of the majestic Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers, powerful reminders of the volcanic forces shaping this land.

Cancellation for this tour

Cancelling costs 10% of the price within 2 days of departure. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Moonwalker decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until the cutoff shown above, the operator's policy after that.

    We had an absolutely unforgettable experience in Iceland with Bessi and Cami. We spent 8 days together, drove more than 3,000 km around the island, and visited some of the most beautiful and remote places we have ever seen. From waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches and lava fields to fjords, small villages and hidden spots far from the obvious tourist route, every day was carefully planned and incredibly special. Bessi is much more than a guide. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, safe, flexible and a truly great companion on the road. He knows Iceland deeply and has a very special ability to read the day, the weather and the mood of the group. Several times, he adjusted the route to take us to an amazing place, even when that meant driving extra hours or changing the original plan. Those unexpected stops became some of the best memories of the trip. Cami was also wonderful — kind, attentive, organized and always making sure everything went smoothly. Together, they made us feel very well taken care of throughout the entire journey. The itinerary was excellent, with the perfect balance between the classic highlights and more unique places that we would never have found on our own. The hotels selected by Bessi were also very well chosen, always fitting the route and giving us comfort at the end of long and intense days. What made the trip so special was not only the beauty of Iceland, but the way Bessi and Cami helped us experience it: with calm, safety, good humor, attention to detail and genuine care. We are deeply grateful for everything they did for our family. If you are planning a trip to Iceland and want a private, thoughtful and truly memorable experience, we highly recommend Bessi and Cami. They made our trip extraordinary.

    Best experience on iceland! We had an amazing tour, Bessi is just so much fun and knows all the details, we saw fantastic places on Hekla/Landmannalaugar you would usually never see - and lovely dog Cami is definitely a bonus. Highly recommended, we will definitly book Bessi again!!

    We were told that we must use Moonwalker Tours and Bessi on our trip to Iceland. Best advice for any trip we’ve taken! Bessi and Cami were perfect for our family of 5. Bessi is so personable and knowledgeable you find yourself quickly becoming friends rather than a tour guide. The stops and off the path places he took us was way beyond our expectations. His ability to connect to all three of our kiddos (ages 13-21) was amazing. Then add Cami to the trip to take the experience over the top. Thank you Bessi for 3 unforgettable days in Iceland. We will see you again!

    We had the best experience on our day tour to the Landmannalaugar area with Bessi and Cami. Bessi is personable, funny and kind. And he took us to see things that surprised us, even after having researching our trip a lot and after already driving the ring road and seeing the sights along it. Highly recommend!
