Reykjavík: South Coast Waterfalls, Black Sand & Glacier Tour

1.Reykjavík: South Coast Waterfalls, Black Sand & Glacier Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 11,030 reviews · 10 hours · from $126Our pick

Spend a full day with an English-speaking guide such as Sara, Eva, Barbara, or Andrea, traveling from Reykjavík to two major waterfalls, a glacier snout, Vík, and Reynisfjara. You can walk behind Seljalandsfoss when conditions allow, but bring waterproof layers and expect weather or sea warnings to change the plan.

“As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and taken care of on the South Coast tour with Eva and Hero. Hero was our driver, and he navigated through a snowstorm with incredible skill and calm. You could tell safety was always the priority. Eva was knowledgeable and engaging, keeping everyone informed and comfortable throughout the tour. Even with the challenging weather, the experience was unforgettable. I’m so grateful for their professionalism and would highly recommend this tour.”

“I got put in a different group due to the amount of people (not enough). However, it was a great tour, well worth going and covering different countries that are so close you’d not want to miss it. Breathtaking views, Mostar was amazing and the Kravica Waterfall was surreal.”

“We had an amazing time visiting the Ouzoud Waterfalls! The experience was truly unforgettable, and the natural beauty of the falls left me in awe. Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Interacting with the monkeys was a highlight of the trip—such a fun and unique experience! However, I did find the excursion to be somewhat artificial and overly touristy. It felt a bit commercialized at times, but overall, it was still a great experience, and I’m glad we went.”

“Fantastic trip from.start to finish. The guide and driver were amazing so informative and very funny. We got stopped at the Bosnia border and everyone on the bus had to get off have their photo done and finger prints done which took over an hour. They could not be more apologetic even though it wasn't their fault it was the new system introduced that week. it's a random check so not every bus will get stopped. We were taken to some beautiful towns and a Waterfall. Mostar was my favourite it's absolutely beautiful full of history. I would highly recommend this trip.”

“It was a great day. We loved Mostar and the waterfalls at Kravice. They are beautiful. Matija was an amazing guide. He gave us interesting information without an overload but with some humour. He was kind and friendly. Our driver was great too. We did feel that 3 hours in Mostar was a bit long as we only then just had one hour at thé waterfalls so not much time for swimming, especially with the walk down and back up again. We loved it and the drive back along the coast at sunset mode the day even moré magical. Note: it isn’t a practical trip for people with reduced mobility.”

Fouad was the perfect addition once we landed in Chefchaouen. Showed us around the town introducing us to everyone while always stopping to take the best photos.
