Your South Iceland journey will take you through the country’s lush farmlands flanked by rugged mountains, glaciers (including the infamous Eyjafjallajökull) and volcanoes. Witness the stunning interior on one side and vast Atlantic ocean views on the other. On this tour of South Iceland, you will experience the powerful beauty of Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Here, the Seljalandsá river, which originates under Eyjafjallajökull glacier, falls. Also see Skógafoss, one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. Just outside the town of Vík í Mýrdal (or just Vík to the locals) you will visit the soaring basalt rock formation known as Reynisdrangar and the black sand and pebble beach of Reynisfjara. A written description is nothing compared to the lived experience. Let the guides at Gray Line bring South Iceland to life with stories, facts, science and history.

The airport transfer service went smoothly. They were super responsive to emails and even allowed me to change my booking time easily as I arrived earlier than expected and dropped off at a bus stop close to my apartment. Highly recommended 😊

Join us on our all-time best-selling tour and discover Iceland’s most iconic and historical attractions. It’s a classic for a reason. The Golden Circle combines history, culture and extraordinary nature and makes for an unforgettable experience. The tour begins with an exploration of Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia split and drift apart, which literally enables you to be in two continents at once. You will see Iceland’s largest natural lake and learn the incredible story of how Iceland’s first parliament was formed. Next, we move on to the amazing Gullfoss waterfall where you can take a short walk down a pathway and get close enough to feel the mist of glacial water on your skin. Gullfoss is a powerful waterfall with a powerful history, which you will get to learn more about from an expert guide. Afterwards, we'll visit is Geysir geothermal area, home to the geyser that all other geysers are named after. Check out the Great Geysir, which is often called the "mother of all geysers". Next to it is Strokkur, which is the most active geyser and erupts every few minutes so you are guaranteed to see an eruption up close. Finally, we move to Laugarvatn Fontana Geothermal Baths which is located in the center of the Golden Circle. These natural steam baths of Lake Laugarvatn have known to have healing powers and have been attracting visitors since 1929. Rejuvenate yourself in the steam room cabins, sauna, outdoor mineral baths (that have various depths, sizes and temperatures) or take a dip in the Lake itself for a relaxing end of an exciting day. You've truly experienced the best of Iceland on this tour.

This 10-hour guided tour is ideal for nature lovers of all kinds. Book this trip and travel along the South Coast of Iceland, one of the country’s most scenic regions, as far as Vik, a charming village surrounded by beautiful bird cliffs. In addition to its natural landmarks, southern Iceland is known for its plains that stretch to the horizon. Because of that, and suitable weather conditions, this area is the bread basket of Iceland. Travel to the famous waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, the latter of which has been featured in movies like 'Thor: The Dark World' and 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'. Walk behind the cascading water in Seljalandsfoss (please don't forget to carry your raincoat). Get the chance to explore the world-famous black-sand beach of Reynisfjara. Also see its unique rock formations and columnar basalt. This is one of the most spectacular beaches in Iceland. However, we request our guests not to get too close to the ocean and follow the guidelines. Your last destination of the day is the Sólheimajokull Glacier, where you can walk up to a small lake that has formed in front of the retreating glacier. We will head back to Reykjavik after the tour ends and drop you off at your accommodation.
