South Coast & Katla Ice Cave Semi-Private Super Jeep Tour – 6 People Max!

This is a tour departing from Reykjavik. Please be sure to be ready for your pick-up at your chosen meeting location at 8 AM. 

South Coast

As we travel the southern coast, the scenery will change at almost every turn. You’ll see waterfalls, black sand beaches, and fantastic mountain scenery. As we wind along the coast, you’ll catch a glimpse of Hekla, Iceland’s most active volcano, Eyjafjallajokull volcano (the one that canceled all the flights), the Westman Islands, and beauty you won’t believe. After visiting the coastal town of Vík, we need to turn off the main road and go where there are no roads. This is why we are traveling in a modified super jeep, capable of driving through almost anything. This journey from the main road to the glacier is thrilling and incredibly beautiful. In wintertime, the journey can be quite demanding on the super jeep.

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

Not one of Iceland’s biggest waterfalls, but what makes Seljalandsfoss different is that most of the year, you can walk behind the cascading water. This is a unique experience.

Skógafoss Waterfall

It’s a classic and genuinely magnificent waterfall. 65 meters tall and 25 meters wide, making it one of the country’s biggest waterfalls. Legend has it that a chest of gold is hidden behind the waterfall. You’ll have to be as strong as a Viking to get to it.

Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

Reynisfjara black sand beach is the most visited beach on the South Coast of Iceland. You’ll see a beautiful black sand beach and, at times, mighty waves from the Atlantic ocean. There are also some pretty incredible rock formations here called “Reynisdrangar” that rise from the ocean close to the shore.

The Village of Vík

Vík is the southernmost village on the south coast of Iceland, located on the ring road. Famous for its beautiful landscapes, black sand beaches, and strange rock formations, Vík is a great place to visit. You can purchase lunch at one of the restaurants/bars here. 

Katla Ice Cave

Finally, we’ll arrive at the base of the Katla glacier, where it’s time to gear up with the crampons and helmets we provide. Then we make our way to the glacier’s base, where we’ll find the ice caves. 

The Katla glacier is a tongue, a flow of ice that comes from Mýrdals glacier, the fourth largest glacier in Iceland. At the base of the Katla glacier are many caves created by water that pours down the glacier in the warmer months of the year. The area is fascinating, with raw nature and proper movie-making landscapes: crystal blue ice caves, rugged Icelandic nature, and towering mountains of ice. Prepare to be amazed!

We spend as much time as possible on the glacier, allowing you to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Our guides know these areas very well and have worked there for many years. Our guides have experience, are trained in glacial exploration, and are first-aid certified.

After this extraordinary experience, we will be driving back to Reykjavik. 

Please bring hiking shoes, warm outdoor clothing, a hat and gloves or mittens, rain gear, a camera/phone, and a bottle of water!
