About this experience

Our Private Luxury South Coast Jeep Tour is ideal for anyone looking to see the most popular attractions along Iceland's South Coast in luxury and comfort.

The tour begins with a pick-up from your Reykjavik hotel in our comfy luxury jeep, and our first destination of the day is Skógafoss, a massive waterfall visible from the Rig Road. A stairway runs up the grassy hill beside the waterfall; you can climb up there for stunning views of the waterfall and Iceland's south shore. 

Sólheimajökull, one of Iceland's most fascinating glaciers, is our next destination. Sólheimajökull is a glacier tongue of Mýrdalsjökull, a huge glacier on Iceland's South Coast, located slightly off the main road. A well-paved road runs from the car park to the glacier's edge, where you can snap some wonderful photos of the ice with its black stripes formed by volcano ashes and boulders, and observe the lagoon forming in front of it as the glacier tragically melts due to climate change.

We then continue our visit to the Dyrhólaey cliffs, which offer a spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding region, and to Reynisfjara, the famous black sand beach with basalt columns and caves.

Following that is Vík, a lovely fishing community on the south coast, also known for its volcanic beaches and sea stacks.

Our Private Luxury South Coast Jeep Tour continues to Seljalandsfoss, one of the most famous Icelandic waterfalls, with a walkway behind it. Bring waterproof clothing because the walk leads directly behind the waterfall and you will most certainly be wet, but the photographs you will be able to shoot from there are well worth it. Only a 5-minute walk from Seljalandsfoss in the canyon is another lovely waterfall, Gljúfrabúi, ready to be discovered and enjoyed. 

Get ready to explore Iceland's south coast in luxury for a fantastic experience.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 2 days before departure; no refund after that. 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. 1Iceland Premium Tours 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 2 days before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Who this is not for

  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

    We had the best experience with Örvar at Iceland Premium Tours! We booked 2 private tours over 2 days - the Golden Circle and South Island. We got to see and experience some extra things that we wouldn't have if we had taken a large bus tour, We were also able to tailor the tours to our own preferences. It was the best decision we could have made! Not only did we see some of the most incredible sights of Iceland we also learnt so much about the history and culture of Icelandic people. Örvar made us comfortable and welcome from the first moment. We would recommend Iceland Premium Tours to anyone visiting Iceland, in fact we are planning our next trip back and will be contacting them for the Iceland Ring Road tour in the summer.

    Amazing time. We spent the day seeing beautiful sights while getting to know a great man. It was a pleasure riding through the countryside with you Örvar. Thanks for the great views and conversation.

    We booked a private group tour for 10 adults for 5 days through Firebird Tours and they chose Iceland Premium Tours to take us to all the adventures we had planned. Gummi picked us up at the airport and took us around Reykjavik and the surrounding towns that first day and on a Golden Circle tour the following day, sharing history and answering questions along the way. Orvar, Gummi's brother and owner of the company, took us around the island the remainder of our trip. He also shared helpful Icelandic history and tales and even suggested some changes due to the weather. One suggestion was that we visit the Seljalandsfoss waterfall on our way back to our hotel instead of before a scheduled ice cave tour so we wouldn't be late due to the road conditions. The waterfall was amazing under the stars, and we had the place all to ourselves - this was much better than it would have been earlier in the day with the snow for sure! The brothers each made sure to ask if we needed food or water, or to use the facilities whenever the opportunity arose during our drives. They obviously care about the company and the people they share their country with. If we go back, we'll request Iceland Premium Tours!

    What an absolutely wonderful day we had with Örvar ! We had a private tour and I can’t imagine a better guide to beautiful Iceland. Not only were the destinations breathtaking - but the history, stories and conversation were what really made the day special. Örvar and his family truly went above and beyond. We can’t wait to return and reconnect.
