South Shore to Vik Private Tour
South Shore to Vik Private Tour includes a drive along the south coast of Iceland which is one of the country’s most scenic regions and on this tour, we will drive as far as the charming village of Vík.
We start by visiting the Lava Center museum where you can examine the various volcanic, eruptions and lava flows, volcanic and rift systems, faults and glacial floods that make Iceland a showcase of volcanism. This is a great way to start the day since we will be driving much of the area that is explored at the Lava Center.
Along the way, we stop at the gorgeous 60m (196 ft.) high Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which is unique since you can walk behind it and through to the other side.
Our next stop is at the majestic and much-photographed Skógafoss waterfall, with its 60 m (196 ft.) drop.
Other highlights include the stunning Solheimajokull glacier, and the black sand coastline and impressive Reynisdrangar rock formations, near Vík.
If you do not add any activities to the tour, we will visit some extra sights and since this is a private tour, we can custom the tour to your needs.
The activities which can be added to this tour for an additional fee include Glacier Walk and Ice Climbing, Snowmobile tour at a Glacier or ATV Tour.

Our guide Bjorn was fantastic. This was our second day on tour with him. On the first day my wife left her wallet somewhere. We traced our path and knew where it should be. I asked Bjorn if he could call and find out if they had it. They did and he said we would be near there on our second tour. It was out of the way but Bjorn had no problem with taking the 1 hour detour. We told him we would sacrifice some stops and he said it was no problem to do all the scheduled stops anyways. What a good soul he is!


Bjorn was very knowledgeable about the south coast of Iceland and knew how to go slightly off the beaten path to show us the sights without swarms of other tourists. Great driver, thoughtful and flexible throughout the day in making sure we had the best experience possible.





Our tour was great value. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative plus pleasant at the same time. We enjoyed her wealth of knowledge.
Cant wait to visit Iceland again
In addition to this South Shore tour, we also did the Golden Circle tour. The two tours are highly complementary and a perfect package. The natural beauty of the country was simply dazzling and even the bad weather didn't dampen :) our enthusiasm. Bjorn provided an extra delightful dimension with his boundless knowledge of, and enthusiasm and pride in his native land. Add a great sense if humor and total flexibility on the tour guides part and you have memories for life.
