Itinerary

  • Reykjavik Sightseeing (Pass By)

    Tours depart from the Reykjavik Terminal located at Skógarhlíð 10. Please be sure to arrive 15 minutes prior to departure along with a printed or digital copy of your ticket/voucher. If you have booked a hotel pickup with SmartBus™, please be at your chosen pickup location 30 minutes before the departure of the tour. Look for the Green SmartBus™ which will be outside your accommodation at within the 30 minutes of pickup.

  • Volcano Hekla (Pass By)

    Hekla is a stratovolcano in the south of Iceland with a height of 1,491 m (4,892 ft). Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. During the Middle Ages, Europeans called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell".

  • Skogafoss

    SkĂłgafoss powerful 65 meter tall waterfall where a short walk up a flight of steps will reveal one of Iceland's most scenic views of glaciers, volcanoes and black sandy beaches. With viewpoints both above and directly next to the waterfall, photographers will have plenty of chances to capture that unique shot.

    45 minutes

  • Volcano Eyjafjallajokull (Pass By)

    Eyjafjallajökull is one of the smaller ice caps of Iceland, north of Skógar and west of Mýrdalsjökull. The ice cap covers the caldera of a volcano with a summit elevation of 1,651 metres (5,417 ft). The volcano has erupted relatively frequently since the Last Glacial Period, most recently in 2010, when, although relatively small for a volcanic eruption, it caused enormous disruption to air travel across western and northern Europe for a week.

  • Reynisfjara Beach

    This one of the most famous and most visited sites in all of Iceland. Marvel at the unique volcanic black sand beach of Reyisfjara with rising basalt columns, a large basalt stone cave which has been battered by heavy oceanic waves. This is both a beautiful and dangerous destination, where heavy 'sneaker' or rogue waves can catch visitors off guard by coming higher up the beach than expected. We always warn you to keep one eye on the ocean as you enjoy this sight.

    45 minutes

  • Vik

    The quaint town of VĂ­k is Iceland's southernmost town with a traditional Icelandic church overlooking the ocean and the three trolls of the black sand beach. At this stop you will have a chance to grab some lunch & use the restroom, explore the town, spend time at the beach, or do some souvenir shopping at Icewear's outlet store. This is the farthest point along the south coast tour, from here we will head back in the direction of Reykjavik.

    1 hour

  • Seljalandsfoss

    The Seljalandsfoss waterfall is for many guests the highlight of this trip, as you can walk along and behind this waterfall offering a completely unique perspective; just be sure to bring a rain jacket! During the short days of winter as you may be arriving in the evening, this waterfall is light up to still give you a chance to capture the perfect regardless of the amount of sunlight. From here we will spend about 1.5hrs in the coach returning to Reykjavik.

Karen was very...

Published on Feb, 2025

Karen was very informative and also funny. She made jokes and gave us in depth advice during the whole trip. Despite the weather we made the most of it and saw amazing places!

Thank you Amelia and Reykjavik Sightseeing<3

Published on Jan, 2025

What an amazing tour and on New Year's Day! Our guide Amelia was nothing short of amazing! Super knowledgeable, helpful and very entertaining. We loved the folklore stories she told! My kiddos, including my 26 year-old, were captivated by the folklore tale about the trolls and Reynisfjara Beach. We had the perfect day for exploring some amazing points of interest in Iceland and to top it off, we experienced the dancing Northern Lights at the end when we were visiting Seljalandsfoss. We love Iceland!!

Beautiful scenery and tour! Must do

Published on Dec, 2024

Very well organized and Darren was a lovely guide. Very informative and gave us enough time at every spot. Made sure we were all comfortable throughout. Due to bad weather and delays caused by some of the guests on the bus, we weren't able to see the glacier on the tour. But not a deal breaker! HIGHLY recommend.

Amazing trip
