Further details
The great thing about this tour is that you’ll see everything that’s in the South Coast tour but then go much further. We pick you up in Reykjavík and head out to see Seljalandsfoss waterfall with a short stop in Hvolsvöllur for a bathroom / snack break. Seljalandsfoss is very special because you can walk behind it (rain coats recommended).
After that, we’ll go see another waterfall, Skógafoss. It’s a magnificent waterfall and you can walk up a path to see it from above. We’ll drive to the black sand beach, Reynisfjara, where you can see the Reynisdrangar rock formations after you see Dyrhólaey. We’ll stop in Vík for lunch.
After lunch, we’ll go to Skaftafell with a short stop first at Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Finally, we go to see the magnificent Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon! You’ll have plenty of time to explore the area and after that we’ll head back to Reykjavík with short bathroom / snack stops along the way. In the winter time we’ll hunt the northern lights!

Our reviews for the tour
Reviews on TripAdvisor →We took about 3 tours with Hopferdir. Guðjón, our driver came guide for all tour was just fantastic. The 2 private tours were the Snaefellsness Peninsula and Blue Lagoon/Reykjanes Peninsula. Guðjón was very knowledgeable about the area and we learnt a lot about the places, Icelandic culture, people, politics, history etc. from him. He was very considerate and made sure that my parents were comfortable on the long drives.
