About Activity
If you want to enjoy the beauty of the Icelandic landscapes full of waterfalls and volcanoes, black sand and basalt columns, without having to go on long hikes, the tour of the South Coast to Vík is right for you.
In just one day we will take you to the town of Vík (capital of the Southern region), stopping along the way in front of waterfalls such as Seljalandsfoss, Gljúfrabúi, Skogafoss and Kvernufoss. Before returning to Reykjavík, we will also stop at Reynisfjara beach with its basalt columns and the view of the Dyrholaey, a natural rock arch.

Stop At: Seljalandsfoss Waterfall Admission Ticket:
Tickets are included Duration:
2 hours 30 minutes On the slopes of Ejyafjallajökull, the unpronounceable volcano that blocked flights to half of Europe during the 2010 eruption, we will see Seljalandsfoss waterfall.
This is precisely our first stop where, depending on the season, it will or will not be possible to walk behind the waterfall.
The time frame includes transportation.
Stop At: Gljufrabui Waterfalls After a 5 minutes walk from Seljalandsfoss, we will enter the small canyon that leads beneath Gljúfrabúi waterfall.
To be enter the canyon we will have to walk up a small creek, and this might or might not be possible according to the season and the weather conditions.
Stop At: Skogafoss Duration:
1 hour 30 minutes The second stop on our journey will be in front of the waterfall of Skogafoss, also filmed in the TV series 'Game of Thrones' and 'Vikings'.
A long staircase of about 400 steps leads to the top of the 62-meter-high waterfall, giving you the opportunity to admire the landscape of the plains to the sea as far as the eye can see.
The time frame includes transportation.
Stop At: Kvernufoss Admission Ticket:
Tickets are included A few minutes' drive away, the waterfall of Kvernufoss lets itself be discovered after a short (and easy) walk in a small canyon.
To this day it is still considered not to be such a turistic destination, so with a little luck we could have few other people around us.
But please, keep it a secret!
The time frame includes transportation.
Stop At: Reynisfjara Beach Duration:
1 hour 20 minutes Before returning to the city, our last scheduled stop is on the black beach of Reynisfjara adorned by its basalt columns.
From there it is possible to admire the natural formation of the Dyrholaey: promontory that overlooks the ocean has a breathtaking arc of rock, especially at dusk.
As beautiful as it is, Iceland is also dangerous: the abnormal waves that can sometimes occur on this beach are terribly infamous, so it's always good to be cautious.
Our guide will obviously ensure that your visit takes place safely.
The time frame includes transportation.
Stop At: Solheimajokull Glacier Admission Ticket:
Tickets are included As an extra stop to our tour, according to the season and the weather conditions, we will lead you to the glacier laguna of Sólheimajökull on the way back to Reykjavík.
The time frame includes transportation.
Stop At: Reykjavik Drive back to meeting point and Drop-off at your accommodation.
Public transportation options are available nearby Suitable for all physical fitness levels For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Iceland spectacular, impeccable organizationmargheritafoscari
Simply fantastic experience! The tour operator proved to be immediately kind, professional and always available, ready to respond to every need with great attention. Thanks to them we could see incredible places, surreal landscapes that we will hardly forget. A key aspect for me was the fact that they are certified, especially considering that we traveled in winter, when safety and expertise really make a difference. We always felt calm and well looked after. I absolutely recommend this tour operator to anyone who wants to discover Iceland in a safe, organized and authentic way.
Unscheduled memorableStay59290109413
Beautiful beautiful beautiful, the force of nature and Lorenzo's ability to take you to admire the real Iceland off the beaten track by the masses and at the same time without missing anything sensational.
It was the last intense three-day tour with Lorenzo! Like the days before the visits were enriched with anecdotes and explanations that completed wonderfully what we saw!
The final gem was, during the return trip, to let us listen to Italian songs translated into Icelandic and transformed into Christmas songs 😂😂 ! This is Lorenzo, guide and special person!
But everyone on Elysia tour is..in Iceland only with them!!
THANK YOU!
Everything perfect!VLR831080
A truly wonderful experience! The tour was impeccably organized: Ilaria is extremely professional, but at the same time nice and engaging, able to put everyone at ease from the first minutes.
During the visit there were curious anecdotes and funny moments, which made the discovery of the place even more pleasant and lively. At the same time, we learned a lot: clear explanations, historical and cultural details told with passion and expertise.
A perfect balance of fun and culture — highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and interesting experience!

In Iceland only with Elysia Tours!W6552IGpaolaa
Mar 12, 2025, 12:55:12 PM Our trip to Iceland was made great by the guides of Elysia Tours! We relied completely on them for tours of our 4-day vacation. With llaria we travelled along the south coast to Vik. Along the way we saw spectacular waterfalls and admired the intense colors of nature, which is still wild here.
The organization of the tours and all the services offered by Elysia Tours is excellent: high professionalism, timely information, careful care of each traveler, friendliness and sympathy. Tours take place with a small group of travellers, which allows you to travel lightly, but at the same time see a lot of things and, at the end of the trip, you have the feeling of knowing each other forever! Thank you for the unforgettable memories we will take with us!
In Iceland only with Elysia Tours!
We had a wonderful day with Michele... He is a very competent and pleasant person... Unfortunately time was not on our side, but he did everything possible to make us see everything in the best way! I can recommend Elysia Tours 100 %!
Great experienceTrail09328171424
Knowledge of places and country with ability to communicate effectively not only information, but also emotions. The discovery of non-touristy and still intact places with Michele and Ilaria is guaranteed.
They are much more than guides, they are the people you always hope to meet on your travels.
See you in Iceland guys.

Unforgettable trip! Elysia tours a guarantee!MariFusiello
Elysia Tours is an amazing tour operator that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to discover Iceland in an authentic and unique way. Ilaria and Michele are two fantastic people: extremely prepared, extremely available and, above all, very very nice! Experts in telling the story, traditions and customs of Iceland, they manage to make each tour special, leading you to discover lesser-known and crowded corners of the country, which allow you to live a truly intimate and special experience.
Each of their tours is a surprise, with little "gems" that make the trip even more memorable. Personally, my boyfriend chose them for the marriage proposal and we could not have asked for better! Michele was amazing, even offering a toast with prosecco to celebrate our special moment together. It was a gesture that made that moment even more perfect.
If you are looking for a unique Icelandic experience, with a touch of personalization and human warmth, Elysia Tours is the right choice. Thank you Ilaria and Michele for making our trip so special!

Beautiful Iceland ❤️218mariateresau
Today we visited the south coast of Iceland which gave us wonderful views of waterfalls, mountains, glaciers and the black beach of Reynisfjara with its cliff of basalt columns. Thanks to Michele and his agency Alysia Tours.

Fantastic day with the puffinsGinevraL17
Michele was an excellent guide through the south coast to Vik, with its waterfalls, black beaches and puffins. Michele knows the places well, he knows their history and has a lot to tell. He is passionate, generous and nice. For the beautiful experience I had, I highly recommend exploring Iceland with Elysia tours and with Michele in particular.
