Please note

    Before setting off on your unforgettable journey along Iceland’s stunning South Coast, please take a moment to review these important details. This ensures your adventure is safe, comfortable, and perfectly tailored to your needs — from accessibility to weather preparedness.

    Accessibility

    The Private South Coast Tour is conducted in a private vehicle and can be customized for travelers with limited mobility. However, please note that some natural sites, such as waterfalls and beaches, involve uneven ground or short hikes that may not be fully wheelchair accessible. If you or your companions require mobility assistance or a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, kindly notify your tour operator in advance so appropriate arrangements can be made.

    Infant and Child Safety

    Weather and Conditions

    Iceland’s weather is famously unpredictable — it can shift from sunshine to rain or wind within minutes. For your safety and comfort, itineraries may be adjusted due to weather or road conditions. Your private guide will always make sure you experience the best the South Coast has to offer in safe conditions.

    Clothing and Footwear

    Dress in warm, layered, and waterproof clothing, as conditions can be cool and damp year-round. Sturdy, non-slip footwear is essential for exploring areas around waterfalls and coastal paths. Even in summer, temperatures near glaciers and waterfalls can be chilly.

    What to bring

      Prepare for a day of awe and adventure as you journey along Iceland’s magnificent South Coast, where waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, and black sand beaches await. To make the most of your private tour, here’s a list of essential items to bring for comfort, safety, and an unforgettable experience.

      Warm, Layered Clothing

      Iceland’s weather can change in an instant — from sunshine to mist to a cool coastal breeze. Dress in breathable, layered clothing so you can easily adjust to the conditions throughout the day.

      • Thermal base layers
      • Fleece or wool mid-layer
      • Waterproof and windproof jacket and pants
      Sturdy, Waterproof Footwear

      Wear comfortable hiking boots or shoes with good grip. Many stops, such as waterfalls or beaches, feature uneven or slippery ground — proper footwear ensures both stability and comfort.

      Cold-Weather Accessories

      Even in summer, it can feel cool near glaciers or waterfalls. Bring gloves, a warm hat or beanie, and a neck gaiter to stay cozy while enjoying the crisp Icelandic air.

      Sunglasses and Sunscreen

      The reflection of sunlight off glaciers, black sand, and ocean waves can be surprisingly bright. Protect your eyes and skin with UV-blocking sunglasses and sunscreen — even on cloudy days.

      Snacks and Water

      While café stops are included along the way, pack light snacks and a refillable water bottle to keep your energy up during this full-day adventure. Iceland’s tap water is among the purest in the world — feel free to refill anytime!

      Small Daypack

      A light, waterproof backpack is perfect for carrying your essentials — extra layers, snacks, water, and your camera — while keeping your hands free during walks and photo stops.

      Camera or Smartphone

      Capture every moment of your South Coast adventure! From the thunderous Skógafoss Waterfall to the striking Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, bring a fully charged device or camera(and a power bank) to preserve your memories.


      Pro Tip: Dress smartly, pack lightly, and prepare for all kinds of weather — that’s the Icelandic way! With the right gear and spirit of adventure, your Private South Coast Tour will be a seamless blend of comfort, exploration, and natural wonder.
