Group Activities Southern Region

Group activities in Southern Iceland

Groups visiting Iceland’s Southern Region (Suðurland) can book guided activities together or share a vehicle between the sights. Prices are in Icelandic króna (ISK).

Guided activities

• Silfra snorkelling: DIVE.IS offers tours from 19,990 ISK per person, plus a 1,500 ISK Þingvellir fee for each snorkeller.
• Sólheimajökull glacier hike: roughly 3 to 4 hours with certified guides who provide crampons, ice axes, helmets and harnesses. Prices begin around 13,500 ISK.
• Katla ice cave tour: from 29,900 ISK per person through Katla Track . A private tour costs from 197,500 ISK, which can work out well for a larger party.

Places to go together

• Skógar Museum: an open-air museum of turf houses plus a folk museum. Adults pay 3,000 ISK, students and seniors 2,000 ISK, and ages 12 to 17 pay 1,600 ISK. See the museum site .
• Secret Lagoon and Fontana: both are hot spring baths with their own ticket prices, 4,500 ISK and 7,490 ISK for adults.

Transport and parking

Highland buses reach Þórsmörk and Landmannalaugar in summer, so a group does not need a 4x4 of its own. At Þingvellir, buses pay 2,200 to 4,200 ISK per day for all lots, and cars with 6 to 9 seats pay 1,200 ISK.

Safety

Keep the group together at Reynisfjara, where sneaker waves surge far up the beach. Stay well back, never turn your back on the sea, and keep off the basalt columns. Current alerts are on safetravel.is . Dial 112 in an emergency.
