The most memorable day!
Janet_M
, Jul 2022
It’s hard to pick what was most memorable. The entire day was amazing. Our guide, Yandy, was fantastic. He had a wonderful attitude and really upbeat energy. The weather was not the best and we thought we would not even able to do the glacier hike. But Yandy is a mountaineer and he felt we could do it! He was soooo right. What an amazing feeling to hike a glacier! The Black Sand beach was out of this world. The waterfalls! It was an incredible day! Highly recommend this tour!

An awesome trip. Our guide was superb, and the ride very comfortable. As for the sights - just phenomenal. The glacier walk was great fun, the waterfalls were just incredible to get close to, and the black beach and surroundings were great. Little extras, like the lunch stop and view stops, made the day even better. Highly recommended.

South Coast and Glacier Hike.

This was a full day fun and invigorating trip. Saw a lot of Iceland scenery. We hiked a glacier for 3 hours which was awesome but as a70 year old quite challenging. My 2 sons and grandson handled it all well. Waterfalls were amazing. Our guide was great. I highly recommend this tour but if your a senior just be prepared for a bit if a test ohysically.

It was an amazing experience to hike on the glacier, and at the same time, sad that so many glaciers are melting in our lifetimes. The black sand beach was terrifying.

Amazing day tour and glacier hike!
Sarah_B

This was such a wonderful tour! Our tour guide was Julian and he was fantastic. It was a small group of just 7 of us, which made our time together much more valuable as we got to know each other and share the incredible experience of hiking a glacier! We saw several waterfalls - the most beautiful ones in Iceland. Julian took us to a hidden waterfall as well, and he was always happy to take photos and give us advice/tips for the rest of our visit. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see several of the best sites of the south coast of Iceland in one day.

Great tour. We stopped at a few different waterfalls and the coast, all of which were beautiful. The glacier hike itself was excellent. Our guide Tomas was very informative and supportive throughout the day and clearly knew the terrain well. Would recommend

Fantastic small group tour
Maiyu_C
, May 2022
A fantastic experience! The guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. The bus was comfortable and the small group size (9 in total) worked really well. The glacier hike was not too difficult if you are moderately fit. After the glacier it was on to lunch in Vik and then to the black sand beach which was absolutely stunning and then on to the waterfalls. I 100% recommend this tour.

Skogafoss and Glacier Hike
Ginger_C
, Apr 2022
We did this tour on our first day and we were glad to get it out of the way as it sure was a workout. Skogafoss is a must see when you're in Iceland and it's by far the best one to visit, especially if you're a GoT fan. The side stairwell is optional, but I do suggest walking up if you can and have the time (which you should even if you're on a tour). The glacier hike was great, since it might not be around in the next 50-100 years. The crampons are provided so you don't have to worry, however you should wear hiking shoes/boots for this tour. Overall while touring Iceland, you need to have some kind of waterproof/water resistant shoe otherwise you'll be uncomfortable in wet shoes. Our guide was Thomas and he was great, although he failed to mention his name until the end of the tour. He was informative and most helpful during the hike as it can be quite dangerous. The only thing was... since he's used to doing these glacier hikes... he should keep pace with the entire group as walking with crampons and on that terrain is not the same for everyone. Overall, I'd give this tour a 4/5. We had a good time and got our steps in for the day.

SOUTH COAST AND MORE
Wilma_H
, Apr 2022
A nice to surprise to have Julian as our guide for a second tour. Beautiful drive from Reykjavik to the Solheimajokull glacier. Full blown adventure as we put on safety gear and head to the glacier. Sunshine very little wind and a great guide. WOW walking across the glacier and in areas leaving our footprints first. A day I will always remember. Back on the bus headed to Vic for a warm bowl of lamb soup, yum. On our way back to the city we saw amazing open lands, ranches, horses and a few lambs. Stops at the black sand beach and a couple of waterfalls one with a food vender made this day speed by.

Sam_S

We took this excursion on our first day in Iceland. It was a great day out with guide Thomas. There was a lot of time on the bus as with most tours in Iceland but the locations were definitely worth the drive. The Glacier hike could have been longer but I think it was hampered by some of the group’s fitness leaves. Over all I would recommend this trip !

Great time on the glacier
Diane_B
, Mar 2022
So glad that my son and I had the opportunity to hike on the glacier. Our guide Tom was very professional. Our group was very fun. One suggestion for travelers is to stay away from the black beach enough distance so your feet don’t get wet! Everyone in our small group with the exception of only three got soaking wet feet and stayed wet for the entire glacier hike and return back to the hotel. No one’s fault except ourselves! Nevertheless had a great time!
