South Coast and Lava show- A Private Tour — Unreal Iceland

Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Unreal Iceland's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

About this experience

The south coast is considered one of the nation's most visually stunning regions. This day tour is brimming with a non-stop visual feast of natural wonders, both from the warmth and comfort of our vehicle and through leisurely walks in Icelandic nature.

Feast your eyes on Skógafoss, a majestic and powerful waterfall known for its impressive height and, if the sun is shining, vibrant and colorful rainbows.

Walk in the shadow of Sólheimajökull Glacier, and admire its dramatic icebergs, striking blue ice, and layers of volcanic ash from countless eruptions over the centuries.

Feel the raw power of nature at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, where angular basalt columns offer a fantastic photo opportunity on calm days. In the summer, you might catch a glimpse of Iceland´s famous puffins nesting in the cliffs above. In winter, you can often witness dramatic, crashing waves rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean.

Our furthest point away from Reykjavík is the town of Vík, a charming coastal village with stunning views over the nearby Reynisdrangar sea stacks.

During our time in Vík we will take in a guided visit to the world famous Lava Show exhibit. 

We will finish our journey at Seljalandsfoss, one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland, where visitors can walk behind the falls for an incredibly unique photo opportunity.

On clear days we are treated to imposing views of Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland´s most famous volcano, responsible for the European air traffic shutdown of 2010.

This is a slow-paced and relaxing day dedicated to sightseeing amidst Iceland's breathtaking landscapes. The day unfolds with abundant photo opportunities as you will encounter black sand deserts, awe-inspiring cliffs, idyllic farms, and quaint villages that will capture your imagination.

Our tour guides, seasoned professionals deeply familiar with the area, are natural-born storytellers.

Opting for the Private South Coast Tour ensures an exclusive experience of this essential destination. You have the liberty to dictate the pace and focus based on your interests, and enjoy unrestricted access to your private guide.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours 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 wind on the ridge or a change in eruption activity — civil protection decides, not the operator. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Unreal Iceland 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 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

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

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.
  • 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.
