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.

We wasnt going to book this tour as we had already booked 2 others but we were so glad we did! This was the best tour of the whole holiday it was so beautiful and really fun! The glacier hike was so liberating and very educational definitely worth doing. I need to give a special thanks to our tour guide who really made it fantastic! He was so funny and told us loads of cool stuff! Unfortunately I cant remember his real name to give him a proper shout out because he jokingly said to call him BoBo! But BoBo was amazing and I cant thank him enough for making this day excellent.

We had an amazing time on the Wild South tour, our guide was great, very knowledgeable and funny. The waterfalls were amazing and the glacier was one of the highlights of my trip. It was slightly more of a climb in some areas, we had crampons that fit on the bottom of our shoes, helmets and ice picks to hike the glacier, the view was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Our guide was phenomenal. We didn't do the glacier hike so while others were hiking he showed us some amazing locations where not many people go. And he took us to a place we could photograph puffins up close. He listened to what we wanted to do and took us to those places. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip.
