Costa Sur de Islandia en Español - Saturday Minibus Tour
Discover Iceland's most iconic southern landscapes, guided in Spanish every Saturday.
The South Coast of Iceland Spanish tour offers an intimate journey through waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glaciers aboard a small-group Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibus with a maximum of 19 passengers. Every Saturday, EastWest guides lead this route in both Spanish and English, ensuring every traveler feels fully engaged and informed throughout the day. This is Iceland's most celebrated coastal drive, made personal.
Iceland's south coast concentrates some of the country's most recognizable natural features within a single day's reach of Reykjavik. From the curtain of Seljalandsfoss to the dark expanse of Reynisfjara, the landscape shifts dramatically and continuously. Small-group travel makes it possible to pause, explore, and absorb each location without the pressure of a large-coach schedule.
EastWest has designed this itinerary to balance iconic stops with quieter discoveries, including the hidden canyon waterfall of Gljufrabui when conditions allow. Guides share geological and cultural context at each location, turning sightseeing into a genuine learning experience. The atmosphere is conversational rather than scripted, and the group size supports that approach.
Sólheimajökull glacier rounds out the day with a close encounter with Iceland's receding ice. Standing at the glacier's edge, visitors gain a direct perspective on the forces shaping this landscape over centuries. The combination of waterfalls, volcanic beaches, a coastal village, and a glacier makes this one of the most complete single-day tours available in Iceland.
Tour Highlights
Walk behind the curtain of Seljalandsfoss waterfall when weather permits, a rare and memorable experience on the south coast.
Discover Gljufrabui, a hidden canyon waterfall tucked away from the main road, visited as a bonus stop when trail conditions allow.
Stand beneath Skogafoss, a 60-meter cascade that sends mist across the surrounding area and offers striking photographic opportunities.
Visit Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, where powerful North Atlantic surf meets a shoreline of basalt columns and volcanic sand.
Approach Sólheimajökull glacier and observe the sculpted ice formations of one of Iceland's most accessible outlet glaciers.
Explore Vik i Myrdal, Iceland's southernmost village and a coastal settlement without a harbor, offering panoramic views from its hilltop church.
Travel in a group of no more than 19 passengers with bilingual guides, creating a more personal and interactive experience than large-coach tours.
Itinerary Overview
The tour begins at Seljalandsfoss, where a path leads around and behind the falling water for an unusual vantage point. Nearby, the concealed waterfall of Gljufrabui awaits inside a narrow gorge, accessible as an additional stop when conditions are safe.
Skogafoss drops 60 meters in a broad, powerful curtain that creates a persistent mist in the surrounding area. The scale of the falls and the open landscape around it make this one of the most photographed locations on the south coast.
Visitors walk to the edge of Sólheimajökull, an outlet glacier descending from the Myrdalsjökull ice cap. Guides provide context on the glacier's formation and ongoing changes, grounding the visual experience in scientific and environmental detail.
Reynisfjara is one of Iceland's most striking coastal environments, defined by its black volcanic sand, hexagonal basalt columns, and strong oceanic surf. The group will observe the beach with full attention to safety guidelines regarding wave activity.
The tour concludes the main stops in Vik, Iceland's southernmost settlement and a village known for its setting between mountains, cliffs, and the open Atlantic. The church on the hill above the village provides a panoramic view across the coastline.
