Hveragerdi
On the first day, you’ll depart from Reykjavík and drive along Route 1, passing charming small towns and soaking in the stunning Icelandic countryside. Along the way, you’ll pass the famous town of Hveragerði, known for its greenhouses and the geothermal “Hot River” in Reykjadalur, nestled in a rift valley between the Eurasian and North American continental plates.
Selfoss
The tour passes through Selfoss, the largest town and capital of South Iceland. You’ll see this lively hub as you continue your journey along the route.
Seljalandsfoss
You’ll get a close-up view of Seljalandsfoss, a stunning waterfall that drops 60 meters from the side of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. This powerful cascade offers a unique and breathtaking experience for all visitors.
Gljufrabui Waterfalls
Gljufrabui is a hidden waterfall that many visitors overlook. We’ll guide you to this secret spot so you won’t miss its stunning beauty!
Volcano Eyjafjallajokull
Don’t miss the chance to learn about Eyjafjallajökull’s massive 2010 eruption. It’s the event that brought Iceland worldwide attention!
Skogafoss
Skógafoss is one of the world’s most iconic waterfalls, famously featured in “Game of Thrones.” Its south-facing location creates frequent rainbows from the mist of the 60-meter (197 feet) cascade. You can also climb to the top for stunning panoramic views, making it a must-see Icelandic landmark.
Solheimajokull Glacier
Sólheimajökull Glacier is an outlet of Mýrdalsjökull, one of Iceland’s largest glaciers. Experience the raw, stunning landscape and get up close to the glacier’s impressive ice cap.
Dyrholaey
From Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, you can spot the stunning stone sea arches of Dyrhólaey in the distance. This iconic natural formation adds to the breathtaking coastal scenery of the area.
Reynisfjara Beach
Next, you’ll visit the world-famous Reynisfjara black sand beach, where striking basalt columns line the cliffs, powerful Atlantic waves crash against the volcanic shore, and the dramatic sea stacks of Reynisdrangar rise just offshore.

Breakfast
Vik
On the second day, you’ll stop briefly in Vík Village. Take in stunning views of the black sand beach and the hills surrounding this small town.
Eldhraun Lava Field
The Eldhraun Lava Field is a vast, barren landscape covered in thick, vibrant moss that blankets ancient lava formations. This otherworldly terrain offers a striking contrast between the rugged volcanic rock and the soft greenery, creating a unique and beautiful scene.
Hofskirkja Church
Hofskirkja is the last turf church built in Iceland, dating back to the 19th century. Its thick turf roof blends seamlessly with the surrounding moss-covered burial mounds, creating a charming and historic setting.
Glacier Lagoon
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is a breathtaking, bucket-list destination featured in numerous Hollywood films. The tranquil, ever-changing scenery captivates visitors as wind and tides gently move the icebergs. You may also spot seals swimming among the ice or resting on nearby beaches.
Fellsfjara
Just a short walk from the Glacier Lagoon, you’ll find Diamond Beach, named for the countless sparkling fragments of colorful icebergs scattered across its black sand shore. These ice pieces are continuously shaped into stunning formations by the wind and waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Vatnajokull National Park
Last but definitely not least, your tour’s highlight is the unforgettable Blue Ice Cave expedition. You’ll start with a superjeep ride to these natural ice caves, formed deep within glaciers as fresh water freezes in Iceland’s plunging winter temperatures. Every year, new caves emerge as glaciers melt, refreeze, and reshape, creating stunning formations in vibrant shades of blue. Your expert local guides will lead you to the most breathtaking ice caves, giving you a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience—these caves may never look the same again. After exploring the caves, you’ll head back to Jökulsárlón before returning to Reykjavík, with a refreshing stop in Vík along the way.

5.00It was much better than expected.i would definitely recommend nice travel this particular tour to my friends.we couldn’t do ice cave due to heavy winds but it was not something under anyone’s control. We were promised a refund. Our Tour guide was Monica and she was the best. She knows so much history about Iceland and Nordic tales and is very passionate about what she does. She was super helpful, tech savvy and very friendly with the kids. She made the tour even better. It was out of this world to see Iceland in its peak winter. We will definitely come Back for it again in summer😊

5.00A two-day trip to the south coast was definitely the best part of the trip to Iceland. The scenery on the south coast was very good and, luckily, the weather was good on both days, so make sure to compliment our guide Mika (I hope I spelled it right). Mika is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He gave us a deeper understanding of what we saw and heard by sharing wonderful stories about Iceland's geology and history. In addition, he was very dedicated. You can feel that he really loves this job. He tries to keep track of time to give us the best view, and even keeps tabs on weather and auroral forecasts to arrange the perfect stop.
Very nice

5.00Had the most incredible 2 days with Nicetravel! Honestly, the whole trip felt so easy and smooth. Our guide was absolute legend—super funny, but you could tell he was really responsible too. Most importantly, he’s a very steady driver, which made me feel totally safe on the icy roads. He also kept us right on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. The hotel on the first night was a pleasant surprise. Clean, cozy, and that breakfast? Wow. So many choices and genuinely delicious, gave us the perfect energy boost for the day. The Blue Ice Cave was definitely the highlight. It was so easy getting there in the jeep, saved us a lot of hiking. Just a really relaxed, beautiful experience. 10/10 would do it again!
Upbeat and informative!
