About this experience

South Coast Odyssey

Get ready for the road trip of a lifetime, designed for ultimate comfort and discovery. This is your ultimate private Iceland road trip along the breathtaking South Coast with Moonwalker. Join us for a journey packed with iconic sights that will leave your group in awe of Iceland’s raw power and stunning beauty. This private day tour takes you further than the average, reaching the famous Glacier Lagoon area and back in comfort.

Your Private Comfort Vehicle: The Land Rover Discovery

On this extensive South Coast journey, your exclusive transport is a sophisticated Moonwalker Land Rover Discovery. Known for its balance of comfort, spaciousness, and inherent capability, the Discovery is the ideal vehicle for a long road trip, providing a smooth and enjoyable ride while still being perfectly suited to handle Iceland’s varied road conditions reliably. It ensures your private expedition is as comfortable as it is visually stunning.

A Roadtrip Through Diverse Landscapes with Expert Guides

This isn’t just a tour; it’s a curated private Iceland roadtrip experience, guided by our team of local experts (many with Search and Rescue (SAR) backgrounds and WFR certification). As we drive east from Reykjavik in your private Discovery, the landscape transforms before your eyes. Your guide will lead you through diverse scenery, passing charming coastal villages and witnessing dramatic changes in geology and scenery with every kilometer.

We visit two of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls: the elegant Seljalandsfoss, where your group can walk the pathway behind the cascading water (conditions permitting), and the powerful Skógafoss, a thunderous drop. Feel the spray and the energy of these natural wonders.

Continuing your drive, the landscape opens up. You’ll traverse the unique Eldhraun lava fields, a vast, moss-covered expanse, and experience the sheer scale of the Skeiðarársandur black sand desert, with the immense Vatnajökull glacier looming majestically in the background.

The Glacial Masterpieces: Jökulsárlón & Diamond Beach

The climax of your private road trip is the magnificent Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Prepare to be captivated by the serene beauty of this deep glacial lake filled with icebergs of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Watch as these icy sculptures drift, and keep an eye out for seals.

Adjacent is the equally stunning Diamond Beach. Here, icebergs wash ashore onto a black volcanic sand beach, sparkling like diamonds. Walking among these crystal treasures is a surreal and unforgettable experience – a true paradise for photographers.

As your expert guide shares insights about the landscapes, geology, and history, you’ll relax and enjoy the ever-changing views from the comfort of your private Discovery.

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.

Questions on the day: [email protected] · +354 497 1373. How cancellations work in Iceland →

Who this is not for

  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 12 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    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!

Lagoons & spas — questions people ask

Is the Blue Lagoon worth it or is it too touristy?

It is busy and it is worth it, once. The water is milky blue from silica, the setting in the Reykjanes lava is unlike anywhere else, and it sits twenty minutes from Keflavík Airport, so it fits an arrival or departure day. Book a time slot in advance; it sells out. If crowds bother you, go early morning or after 20:00. The Secret Lagoon or Fontana on the Golden Circle are calmer and cheaper alternatives.

Can I do the Blue Lagoon on the way to or from the airport?

Yes, and it is the best way to use it. Transfers like IceTransfer's Keflavík to Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík (/experience/1036423/) or the reverse (/experience/1036419/) stop at the lagoon for a few hours with your luggage stored. Allow at least three hours at the lagoon and check that your slot lines up with your flight. Note that the Reykjanes eruptions have closed the lagoon at short notice; check its status before travelling.

What is the difference between the Secret Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon?

The Secret Lagoon at Flúðir is a simple, warm geothermal pool with a bubbling hot spring beside it and basic changing rooms. It is on the Golden Circle, so it slots into a sightseeing day (/experience/17050/, /experience/624446/). The Blue Lagoon is a spa: silica masks, swim-up bar, saunas and a price to match. If you want a soak after a day of waterfalls, Secret Lagoon. If you want the spa day, Blue Lagoon.

Do I have to shower naked before a pool in Iceland?

Yes, at every public pool and most lagoons. Swimwear off, wash thoroughly with soap, swimwear on, then into the water. It is a hygiene rule because Icelandic pools use very little chlorine, and it is taken seriously. Changing rooms are single-sex with open showers; some larger lagoons have a few private cubicles. Nobody looks. It feels odd for thirty seconds and then it does not.
