What our clients have to say
4 Day Southern Iceland
Gemma, December 2022
We had an action packed and thoroughly enjoyable 4 days in Iceland thanks to Deluxe Iceland and our tour guide, David. Victor was fantastic in pulling together the itinerary with excellent communication. David was supremely knowledgeable, patient and thoughtful. We had a wonderful time with him on our snowy, cold and stunningly beautiful 4 days - his driving skills are seriously next level!
Itinerary
When you arrive in Iceland at Keflavik Airport, your private driver and Deluxe Iceland representative will greet you at the arrivals hall and take you to Reykjavik to pick-up your rental car and go through your trip itinerary in detail with you at your hotel. After settling in you will have the rest of the day to explore this northernmost capital city of the world with its abundance of museums, restaurants and bars to suit all tastes.
On this day you will get right into the action and head straight for the beautiful Icelandic south shore. You will start the day by driving to the Black Sandy Beach, Reynisfjara, where you will see Reynisdrangar Cliffs (Approx. drive 1 hours 10 minutes). Afterwards you will be taken to see Skógafoss waterfall, which is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of some 60 meters and a width of 25 meters, and which you can walk right up to. On your way back you will stop at Seljalandsfoss waterfall before your guide will take you back to your hotel for the night.
You will start the day by stopping at the Lava Center before going to a local farm to get familiar with the Icelandic farm life and enjoy a cup of coffee and Icelandic Pancakes. Afterwards, top the day by going snowmobiling up on Eyjafjallajökull – the infamous glacier that erupted in 2010.
