Review of Iceland’s South Coast small-group tour from Reykjavik, with waterfalls, Reynisfjara Beach, and a guided Sólheimajökull glacier hike.
“We got very lucky with amazing weather, sunny, not too windy and beautiful views and attractions. The two waterfalls were amazing, and the first had a shop and coffee spot, the lunch stop at the black sand beach was delicious. The the glacier hike was unparalleled. We learned a lot, had a friendly guide and had an exciting day and we're back in town for dinner.”

“Absolutely amazing! This tour is a MUST-DO while you're in Iceland if you want to experience adventure and the Icelandic landscape. Our tour guide was Magnus, who we felt was very informative and friendly. The waterfalls, landscapes, and glacier hike make this a great and memorable experience. Don't think twice before you book this tour!!!”
A practical review of Troll Expeditions’ 2-day South Coast tour, with glacier hiking, a natural ice cave, waterfalls, overnight lodging, and Jökulsárlón.
“Niiiiiice experience and Thoughtful arrangement for the spots. Luckily firstday there is great weather condition so our guide Max drive us directly to explore glacier and ice cave.

Review of Troll Expeditions’ 2-day Iceland South Coast tour, with waterfalls, glacier hiking, Jökulsárlón boat ride, lodging, costs, and tips.
“This was an average tour. Iceland is a beautiful country & the places we visited were amazing. However, the tour wasnt as expected at all...the minivan was dirty (filthy actually) and not comfortable at all for such long hours spent in travel. The guide was average, not very interactive and very distant...no warmth or friendly behaviour. The guest house/hotel that we stayed in at night was also bad. It was raining throughout the day & we were soaking wet...the room was not warm and it was a difficult night. Dinner is not part of the itinerary, and the guide stopped the van at an eat out before we checked in…”
Review of Iceland’s 12-hour South Coast tour with a glacier hike, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Reynisfjara, transport, and practical tips.
“Excellent trip with Arctic Adventures. Email to inform us of pick up time and location. Minibus with plenty of room, only 7 on our trip that day. Free WiFi on the bus. Driver/guide was knowledgeable about areas we visited as well as places en route. Waterfalls are stunning as well as Vik beach. The glacier trip was run by a separate team of glacier guides. We were driven to the location where equipment for the hike was provided and a guide took us on the hike. Amazing experience! On completion we were driven back to Reykjavík. Would definitely recommend!”

Review of a private Iceland South Coast tour with glacier hike, waterfalls, black sand beach, guide, photographer, and hotel pickup.
“We had a incredible day out with Julian. He made sure that we made the most of our time out, and really matched our enthusiasm for exploration. Because we were a younger group, he was excited to make the most of the glacier part of the tour and so took us through the main sights with time to spare, and then walked us further up to an ice cave! He had all the right equipment and we felt like we were in very safe hands. He was also very open to chat on the driving portion of the tour but left us to relax whenever needed. We really appreciated that…”
Walk Sólheimajökull glacier, learn glacier safety, and visit Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss on a full-day tour from Reykjavík.
“I enjoyed a lot on the Glacier Hiking Tour. Bart was an excellent and competent tour guide. He guided us to the right trail on the glacier, kept us safe all throughtout the hike, was very helpful with our photos, even let us peek through a deep crevasse using the proper safety equipment and answered all our queries about the glaciers and hike. The trip from the city to the destination was pretty smooth and safe, kuddos to the good driver. I would recommend to have the tour start an hour early, so that by the time the tourists would arrive in their destination, it would be around 11 instead…”
By the kind of day you want, or the country you are standing in.
