This exclusive private tour is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, photographers, and lovers of natural beauty, showcasing stunning landscapes, unique geological formations, and incredible wildlife that will leave a lasting impression.

Lava Centre in Hvolsvöllur

Your journey starts with an interactive exhibition showcasing the island’s dynamic geology and volcanic activity. Experience the Eruption Show, where stunning multimedia simulations bring volcanic eruptions to life, and explore the Lava Sculpture Gallery featuring intricate artworks made from volcanic rock.

UNA Wool Market

Here, you’ll find a variety of high-quality Icelandic wool products, including warm sweaters, scarves, and blankets, all made from the unique fibers of Icelandic sheep.

Seljalandsfoss & Gljúfrabúi Waterfalls

Your next stops are the magnificent Seljalandsfoss and the hidden Gljúfrabúi waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss drops 60 meters, allowing visitors to walk behind the cascading water for an unparalleled perspective and unique photo opportunities, especially magical during the winter months with snow and ice. Just a short walk away, Gljúfrabúi is a hidden gem, accessible by wading through a shallow stream and rock hopping, offering an intimate view of its serene pool.

Sólheimajökull Glacier

Prepare to be awestruck as we make our way to the stunning viewpoint of Sólheimajökull Glacier, a breathtaking outlet glacier of the larger Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. The gentle 10-minute walk to the viewpoint allows you to immerse yourself in the surrounding natural beauty, with panoramic views of the glacier and the surrounding rugged landscape.

As you arrive, learn about the glacier’s history and the effects of climate change from our knowledgeable guide. This is the perfect spot to capture breathtaking photos and appreciate the beauty and fragility of Iceland’s natural landscape.

Reynisfjara – Black Sand Beach

Continue your adventure at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, renowned for its dramatic basalt columns and powerful waves. This stunning beach is home to the legendary Reynisdrangar sea stacks, said to be trolls turned to stone by sunlight. Enjoy a mesmerizing atmosphere perfect for photography and take a hike to nearby cliffs, where you may spot puffins during the nesting season in the summer.

Dyrhólaey

Our journey continues to the magnificent Dyrhólaey, a stunning promontory renowned for its dramatic cliffs and breathtaking ocean views. As we arrive, you’ll be greeted by the sight of the iconic stone arch and a rich array of seabirds, including puffins during the breeding season. Take a moment to marvel at the striking contrasts of the black sand beaches below and the vibrant blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Skógafoss Waterfall

Conclude your tour at Skógafoss, one of Iceland’s largest waterfalls, boasting a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. Positioned on the Skógá River, which originates from the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, Skógafoss cascades in a powerful stream, often creating rainbows in the mist on sunny days. Climb the stairs to the top of the waterfall for stunning views of the surrounding nature, including the smaller Kvernufoss waterfall upstream.

After communicating with Josip to let him know our interests, he provided us with a perfect day excursion- exploring lava fields, geothermal areas, spectacular view points and a hike up towards a volcano crater. Josip's exceptional level of local knowledge provided us with historic and scientific background as well as access to places we would not have known to go on our own. Added to this is Josip's excellent sense of humour, resulting in a most enjoyable and memorable day.

Exceptional Experience Our day with Josip was a true highlight! He was able to cater our tour to our interests but also provided us with side trips that we would not have known to ask for. We had not used a guide for the majority of our trip and so we had a lot of questions, which Josip was able to answer with great knowledge, as well as a friendly dose of humour. We saw and experienced so much more than we would have on our own. Great value for a most memorable day!

What an incredible day! Our tour was packed with so many different sights, Josip gave the history of the geography and folklore. A perfect balance of information and physical activity. Our lunch stop had the best fish ‘n chips I’ve ever tasted.

The Driver knows…… We had a half a day to see as much as we could in Iceland. The driver asked us what we wanted to see and we said we would leave it up to him, but we prefer the South route.. He took us to every crook andcranny imaginable. We saw so much more than we did on a full day bus tour. He was absolutely phenomal. I would use him for every single tour from here on out. He absolutely made the most of our limited amount of time and added some.And also found the best bakery ever! Thank you ever so much

Perfect guided tour We were lucky to get a tour on short notice with Josip. His flexibility allowed us to have a great evening with a tour to the geysirs and Gullfoss waterfall. Even the road trip was entertaining while filled with interesting information and insights to icelandic life.

Iceland at its best! On Saturday evening, Josip spontaneously agreed to take us on a trip to the Strokkur geyser and Gullfoss waterfall. It was a very pleasant tour in a very well-maintained Mercedes van. During the ride, he entertained us with his knowledge of the sights and Icelandic customs.

Thomas is amazing! We hired Thomas to take us on a volcano hike. When he picked us up he suggested we switch gears due to the weather. We followed his lead and we are glad we did!
