Day Trips & Excursions in South Iceland

Explore Iceland's south coast with a small group on this full-day trip from Reykjavik. With a maximum of 15 travelers, enjoy personalized attention from your guide while hiking on Sólheimajökull glacier, visiting a plane wreck site in Sólheimsandur, viewing a volcanic tube, and taking a dip in the Seljavallalaug geothermal pool. Pickup and drop-off at select hotels provided.

Hike glaciers and watch the Northern Lights on an 11-hour tour from Reykjavik that combines two of Iceland's top activities. Explore the incredible terrain of the Sólheimajökull glacier on foot with your experienced guide, checking out the crevasses and moulins (ice holes) of this frozen landscape. Enjoy several hours on the glacier, followed by a visit to Skógarfoss waterfall. Warm up with a two-course dinner at a traditional restaurant, then head outside to the best lookout points to see the Northern Lights - a truly magnificent experience.

Explore the Reykjanes Peninsula, a UNESCO global geopark. You can't get to Reykjanes by train or bus, so join a day tour from Reykjavik. Visit the Geothermal Exhibition, walk through the hissing and bubbling fields of Krysuvik and the mud pools of Gunnuhver, and photograph the dramatic coastlines before your afternoon return to central Reykjavik.
