★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,285 reviews · 11 hours · from $186Our pick

Review of Iceland’s South Coast day trip with a glacier hike, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, and Reynisfjara beach from Reykjavík.

“The trip was so gooooood!!! I have Thomas (I hope I got his name right) as the tour guide, and he has to be one of the best tour guides I have ever met. The glacier hike was the star, and he was really patient with all of us, and that made me feel really comfortable doing something I had never done before. There were a lot of unexpected things today, and they were all good. We get to see the ice cave (?), there was snow when we got to the black sand beach, and we saw northern lights on the way back as well. Once again, thank you,…”

6.2-Day South Coast Waterfalls, Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Hike from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 177 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $738

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…”
