Today we offer a good selection of tours, ranging from two hours up to multi-day trips, and overnight camping tours focusing mostly on the off the beaten path experience. We can tailor made everything about the tour and set up the tour as you like, we could keep it more raw or have it quite luxurious and high class but still remote.

Southcoast Adventure
Meeting point - Brú-Road 249
Specializes in tailor-made private & luxury tours and all kinds of day trips around Iceland. Open schedule tours or private.
Southcoast Adventure was established in 2009 by Þorgerður Guðmundsdóttir and Ársæll Hauksson. To begin with, there was just ONE jeep that was used to offer trips to tourists and mostly Icelanders who wanted to see more of their beautiful country. 2 years later, their first member of staff was hired. The company today has 28 vehicles of all shapes and sizes, including snowmobiles and 4×4 buggies.
Initially, daily trips were offered to Eyjafjallajökul, Þórsmörk, and Fimmvörðuháls. Today the company has grown considerably and daily trips are offered in many vehicles to many destinations; snowmobile and buggy trips; twice, daily departures to the ice cave; trips transporting luggage for those clients who are doing hikes to the various glaciers, mountains, and the interior; glacier ice-hikes as well as those up mountains and further inland.
All of this as well as custom-made trips/adventures for those who have a thirst for something off the beaten track. Many of the staff are also active members of the local Search and Rescue and this obviously is an added bonus when dealing with Icelandic nature and the sometimes rugged environment. Thankfully their special skills have not often been called upon but it is a reassuring skill to have.
No two days are the same and there is always a feeling of excitement for the next day at work and what adventures it may bring. The company prides itself on building incredible trips and memories for all of our clients, both locals and foreigners. Staff/guides are always encouraged to extend their knowledge as much as possible so that all clients are satisfied and the company aims to always improve their service. As mentioned, most of the staff/guides are from the surrounding areas – this is a huge advantage as it means that when needs arise, the local knowledge makes for a more comfortable working environment.

Secret Iceland
Secret Iceland is licensed day tour provider authorized by the Icelandic tourist board since 2010. Founders of Secret Iceland are the brothers Trausti and Guðmann. They are born and raised in Vík í Mýrdal.
Let us reveal to you the hidden secrets of Lakagigar Craters.
Lakagigar is nestled deep in the Icelandic highlands between the glaciers Vatnajökull and Mýrdalsjökull . This is like entering another world like no other place on earth. Some have seen similarity with the land of Mordor in the epic adventure film Lord of the Rings based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien yet so beautiful and peaceful in the middle of the mountains and mossy green lava.
Don’t risk your precious rental car crossing rivers on the rough track to Laki. There is no insurance in the world that covers damage to your car when crossing rivers.
Crossing deep rivers and driving on rough mountain tracks are what the Icelandic Super Jeep was made for. The Super Jeep was born in Iceland. It’s a four-wheel drive, all-terrain vehicles equipped with massive suspension systems and tires ranging from 38″ to 46″ in size. Besides using enormous tires, these vehicles have reshaped bodies to house the larger wheels, extended suspension, and a special lift kit to increase the ride height.
Most Icelandic mountain tracks and roads (f roads) are just for larger 4x4 vehicles with experienced drivers. They are narrow little maintained tracks and there are rivers to cross and sharp rocks and pot holes hard to see on the way.
Let your expert local driver guide do the driving while he gives you informative comments about the history and geology of Lakagigar.
Among the places we visit in the tour is Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, Fagrifoss waterfall, Tjarnargigur Crater and of course Lakagigar and the mountain Laki.
The tour begins in Kirkjubæklaustur, a southern town often nicknamed Klaustur by locals.
Many visitors to Iceland will find themselves in this historic location as they travel the South Coast; it is between the village of Vík Í Mýrdal and the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and is steeped in religious heritage.
Duration: 8-9 hours. Total stopping/hiking time: 5 hours Available from 10th June – 30th September
We look forward to meeting you.
