Spend a full day on the South Coast Glacier Hike Tour with MyHolidayTravel, which includes a guided glacier walk. Book now for just £148pp.If you’re only doing one full-day tour from Reykjavik, make it this one. This small group South Coast Iceland tour with glacier hike is packed with jaw-dropping scenery, a proper adventure on the ice, and just the right amount of road trip magic. You’ll see the kind of wild, otherworldly landscapes Iceland is famous for, including crashing waterfalls, ancient glaciers, and black volcanic beaches, all in a single day that feels anything but rushed.Things kick off with a stop at Seljalandsfoss, one of the only waterfalls in the world you can walk behind. And yes, it’s as cool as it sounds. Then it’s on to Skógafoss waterfall, towering 60 metres high and often framed by rainbows on sunny days. Whether you’re climbing to the top or standing in its mist, the sheer power of it is unreal. These two waterfalls are absolute essentials on any Iceland day tour, and photos don’t come close to doing them justice.The real adventure begins when you reach Sólheimajökull Glacier, an arm of the mighty Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. With a trained glacier guide leading the way, you’ll strap on crampons and walk right out onto the frozen surface. You’ll see crevasses, ridges, and deep blue ice formations, learning about how the glacier formed and why it’s disappearing. It’s not every day you get to hike a glacier in Iceland, and this is one of those experiences you’ll be talking about for years.The final stop is the world-famous Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Here, the waves crash with unbelievable force, sea stacks rise out of the Atlantic like giants, and perfectly formed basalt columns line the cliffs. It’s both eerie and beautiful, the kind of place that makes you just stand still for a second. After a day of exploring, hiking, and pure wow-moments, you’ll head back to Reykjavik feeling like you’ve seen the real Iceland in all its raw, unforgettable beauty.
