Itinerary
First stop of the day is the iconic Seljalandsfoss. A jaw dropping majestic sight with the possibility to walk behind the waterfall! After enjoying Seljalandsfoss we take a short hike to its neighbour Gljúfrarbúi (The one who lives in the mountain) to marvel it´s beauty. Like the name implies, the waterfall is hidden inside the mountain but easy to find, once you know the route.
On we go to the village of Vík í Mýrdal, an astonishing small village and probably one of the most photographed settlements in Iceland. The iconic church is seen in all the photo ads, and the view from the church is breathtaking. We take our lunch break there before continuing our travels.
The black sand beach of Reynisfjara is one of the biggest attraction in Iceland and the iconic Reynisdrangar cliffs, sticking out from the sea. Be careful, the tides can sneak up on you.
We take a walk on the wild side towards the glaciers and gently place our feet at the edge. Take a selfie and voila, we can claim to have stepped on to a glacier.
The majestic Skógarfoss waterfall is 60 meters high no less. One can spend hours staring at it. We will spend 30 minutes doing so

Great tour. Our guide was very informative and pointed out many things as we were driving. All of the stops were good. Our guide watched the weather and mixed up the order to save us from hitting the best sights in the rain
Great tour with a real mixture of sights. Small comfortable bus. Best of all was the guide - Michaela - who has a great sense of humour; kept us well informed; and kept checking the weather reports to rearrange the order of sights visited. She was brilliant. She also allowed just the right amount of time at each stop - long enough that you didn't feel rushed, but short enough that you weren't kicking your heels. Do take waterproofs for the waterfall visits!
The best tour we did in Iceland. Excellent guide, comfortable bus and great locations. Wished we had booked our other tours with Eastwest.
This was an enjoyable day trip! Our guide, Oscar, was top notch. He shared a lot of interesting facts during our drives between stops. The south coast landscape is incredible and not to be missed. I had my elder mother with me and she was able to participate in everything except walking behind the waterfall. She was happy to sit and watch the waterfall. Plenty of time was spent at each site with opportunities to buy coffee, lunch or snacks along the way. Highly recommended!
Leroy with Easywest did a great job with our tour today! He was energetic and entertaining and we learned a lot! The time at each location gave tourists ample exploring/eating opportunities! My favorite spots were the black sand beach and the secret waterfall!
Very informative and friendly. Bus was very comfortable and had convenient bathroom stops. Rodger made the experience a once in a lifetime memory, making Iceland enchanting.
It was beautiful. Driver was friendly and informative when asked specific questions. Highly recommend doing this tour.
Iceland is breathtaking, and this tour captured everything I dreamed of! Thingvellir’s rugged landscapes, the mesmerizing eruption of Geysir, and the soul-soothing beauty of Gullfoss it was all perfect. And just when I thought the day couldn’t get better, Arnar "Thor" took us to Efstidalur farm for the best ice cream ever. The scenery, the stories, and the adventure made this a day I’ll never forget!
I knew Iceland would be beautiful, but this tour left me speechless! Gestur was the perfect guide he made history come alive with his Viking tales and passion for his country. Every stop felt like stepping into a postcard, from the stunning rift at Thingvellir to the powerful rush of Gullfoss. And the little things, like petting animals at Efstidalur farm, made this experience even more special. Highly recommend!
From start to finish, this tour was breathtaking. Thingvellir National Park felt like stepping into a fairytale, and Geysir left me in awe every time it erupted. But the real highlight? Standing near Gullfoss, feeling the mist on my face it was a moment I’ll never forget. Arni, our guide, was fantastic, making the entire trip fun, informative, and full of laughs. Iceland, you have my heart!
