South Coast tour
Short summary for this overnight tour
Tour pickup at 11:30 (AM) from chosen location in Reykjavik. Checkout the next morning at 8:30 (AM) with arrival back in Reykjavik around 10:30 (AM) the morning after. All timing is subject to change.
STOP 1 : SELJALANDFOSS WATERFALL
The first stop on the tour is at Seljalandsfoss waterfall. If you’re feeling adventurous be sure to walk the steep staircase to view the gorgeous waterfall from behind. This is also a great photo opportunity!
At 65 meters high, this waterfall has breathtaking views of roaring glacier waters and the birds that call this place home.
And do be sure to bring along your raincoat if you plan to venture behind this waterfall! The mist coming from the falling water is sure to wet your clothes through, but this is also a great way to create a rainbow effect so keep an eye out.
STOP 2 : SKOGAFOSS WATERFALL
The next stop along this tour is Skogafoss, only a mere 30 kilometers from Seljalandsfoss right off the main Ring Road. At a whoping 60 meters high and 25 meters wide, you can feel the power.
You will have the choice to walk up close and personal or take the 60 meter staircase to the top and view the falls from above. Either way, you are sure to get some amazing views. If you choose the up-close option, be sure to protect yourself and your camera from the massive mist cloud that forms at the bottom of the waterfall.
Also here, you will see the many bird species flying around and nesting in the cliffs, but also you may see a stray sheep or two that can wander over from the nearby farm.
STOP 3 : REYNISFJARA BLACK SAND BEACH
Moving away from the waterfalls, the tour will make it’s way further down the coast to Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach located in the small coastal town, Vik. Known for it’s black colored sand and ginormous basalt stacks, you are sure to get an amazing photo here.
Though you may not first think of Iceland when you think of going to the beach, in 1991, National Geographic voted Reynisfjara as one of the Top 10 non-tropical beaches to visit on Earth.
It is not hard to notice the rocky basalt sea stacks, named Reynisdrangar. Just around the corner from here you can view more ragged edged cave like areas where the high tide water used to rush in. Please be aware of the strong current and the waves most referred to as “sneaker waves” which is a nod to their ability to rush in out of nowhere knocking people to the ground.
STOP 4: SLEEPING IN A BUBBLE
Our last stop will be at the bubbles where you will spend the night. All the bubbles are transparent, which means if the Aurora is dancing you will have a private show.
For our South Coast tour we will have all 6x bubbles, which are all fully transparent and nearly identical. No need to select because all guests will get the same type of bubble.
All bubbles are located a short walking distance from our service house, which contains WC and showers.
Disclaimer: Please be advised, the Bubble Hotel location for the South Coast tour is set upon a steep hill.

Golden Circle tour
Golden Circle with Laugarás Lagoon & Bubble Stay
We drive Iceland's winter roads so you don't have to — Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss and a geothermal lagoon by day, then a night in a transparent bubble under the open sky.
Check availabilityThe Golden Circle, and a night you'll never forget.
Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss — every tour covers Iceland's greatest sights. What makes this one different is where the day ends: not back in a city hotel, but in a transparent bubble under the open sky.
Five stops, one unforgettable day
Þingvellir National Park
Walk through a rift valley where two continents pull apart — a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the birthplace of Iceland's first parliament over a thousand years ago.
Geysir geothermal area
Stand beside the boiling earth as Strokkur erupts, sending a column of water skyward every few minutes. Steam, sulphur, and raw geothermal power.
Gullfoss waterfall
Feel the thunder of a glacial river crashing into a canyon in two great tiers — one of Iceland's most powerful and beloved waterfalls.
The Laugarás Lagoon
Sink into the Laugarás Lagoon — a new two-level geothermal bath on the banks of the Hvítá river. Warm, open-air water, with the restaurant Ylja on site, where celebrated Icelandic chef Gísli Matthías Auðunsson cooks a seasonal South Iceland menu. Lagoon entry is included; dinner is an optional add-on. Bring your swimsuit.
A night in the bubble
Arrive at the 5 Million Star Hotel as the light fades. Your transparent bubble sits private in the forest — a real bed under a clear dome, and the whole sky above you.
A luxury SUV, not a tour bus.
You ride in a Suburban luxury SUV with a local guide — a small group of six at most, never a coach of forty. Stop where you like, at your own pace; it's the difference between being processed through Iceland and being shown around it.
A hotel room with the roof taken off
It's a real hotel room — proper double bed, warm and quiet — but the whole dome is glass. Lie back and there's nothing between you and the Icelandic night: stars, moon, and the whole open sky above your bed.
Just the two of you, warm under the covers while the cold, clear sky glows above.
We take the wheel
Iceland's winter roads are icy, dark and unpredictable. You never drive them — your guide does. You just watch it all go by.
Only 12 seats a week
Two departures, six guests each. We're booked months ahead, so pick your date early.
One booking, all sorted
The guided day, the lagoon and your bubble night in a single price. Nothing to plan, nothing to add on.
A guide, not just a driver
Local, English-speaking, and full of the stories behind every stop. Reykjavík pickup included.
Dinner by one of Iceland's most celebrated chefs.
Right at the Laugarás Lagoon sits Ylja, the restaurant of Gísli Matthías Auðunsson — one of Iceland's best-known chefs. His team cooks a seasonal menu built entirely from South Iceland produce: farms, greenhouses and small producers just down the road, Icelandic tradition met with modern technique.
Soak in the geothermal water as the light fades, then sit down to a proper dinner before you head to the bubble. It's an optional add-on — not included in the tour price, and booked separately.
