About the South Coast tour in Spanish

The South Coast is the most popular day trip from Reykjavík. The Ring Road runs between glaciers and the sea, past waterfalls that fall from the old coastline and beaches of black volcanic sand.

The whole day is guided in Spanish by a Spanish-speaking driver-guide, so you hear the stories and history of each place in your own language. The group is small, so there is time for questions and photos at every stop.

The tour runs all year, on Thursdays and Sundays. In winter the days are short and the beach and waterfall paths can be icy, so bring shoes with good grip.
