    Full description

    If you are a nature lover, then this tour is made for you. It visits all the great attractions of the south coast, glaciers, the Black Beach of Reynisfjara, Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano and of course, several of the beautiful waterfalls. 

    The highlight of the tour is a Blue Ice Glacier Hike on Solheimajokull glacier which takes around 1.5-hours. Start by visiting the two great waterfalls of the south coast, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, as well as visiting lesser-known, more secret waterfalls Glufrabui and Irafoss.

    As you continue, drive under the great Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano and the Mýrdalsjökull glacier cap, where you will take a glacier hike for about 1.5-hours and have a closer look at the Solheimajokull glacier. 

    A bit further will be the great Reynisfjara Black Beach, where the sea crashes upon black sands and hexagonal basalt columns and rock stacks tower over the surroundings. In one day, see two volcanoes and discover five amazing waterfalls, visit Reynisfjara and get up-close and personal with the sleeping ice giants that are glaciers during the glacier hike.

    A perfect tour for the curious tourist and the inquisitive nature lover. This tour is available all year. Reserve it now to secure your spot on this South Iceland Tour. Check availability by choosing a date.

    Super nice tour and great glacier hike! All guides from Nicetravel went out of their way to create a unique experience and show the beauty of the island, including stops at places that aren't the typical "tourist waterfalls", the 12 hours are used! The guide Jonas was very nice and helpful and we had a very good and fun return trip with Nikola. I would book the tour again in a heartbeat!

    Myself and my partner had a brilliant time on this guided tour. We saw more than we thought we would from the description, had multiple breaks to stretch our legs/go to the toilets/get something to eat which was needed as it involved a lot of driving but so worth it as the views were amazing. Our tour guide, Ingo, was very friendly and talked about his experience of living in Iceland throughout the day along with interesting facts out Iceland. We would completely recommend this tour (we went in June 2022)

    It's an amazing release! Christina our guide was super funny, it was easy to understand her (when English is not our first language) she is the best guide! She took time to make extra stops to see the shearwaters and take in the views from different spots! We were even able to make a clay mask on the glacier, it was a super fun experience! One of the most beautiful day of my life, we saw so many things...
