South Coast - A good way to get a quick look at the South Coast. The tour moves along quickly...not a lot of extra time at any one place, though in fairness enough to see and enjoy. Our tour guide shared history of Iceland and his only personal history. The glacier hike a definite workout, though great experience!

Wonderful South Coast Day Trip - Bjorn took great care of us and pointed out a lot of points of interest along the way. I learned the difference between glacier water and spring/mineral water and many other facts about Iceland and its volcano history. The waterfalls were beautiful and the glacier hike was an experience I’ll not forget. I felt like we spent ample time at each stop - even at Diamond Beach. I very much recommend this trip.

South Coast Tour - Must Do Experience - Our guide/driver was excellent. I’m trying to remember her name but I can’t! I believe her last name was Gunnarsdottir (I’m so sorry). She was incredibly informative and friendly. Maria, our glacier hike host, was equally as impressive. Also extremely friendly, patient, and helpful. Prioritized safety and got along super well with our entire group. This tour is a must do when visiting Iceland. This was the grand highlight of our trip, especially the glacier hike.

Good Experience - The tour was great, we were so lucky with the weather. Definitely worth doing. The waterfalls were so awesome, too many tourists, but it is what it is. Our guide was nice and very informative about Iceland in general. The glacier hike was fun and the black beach good to experience even for a short while.

Good Hike Potential, but Poor Organization - The glacier hike looked promising, but the problem was they created hiking groups randomly. Some people who came a little later got ahead of others already waiting. There was no grouping based on capability and the pace of the group is limited to the slowest person. Our group had some less capable hikers that significantly slowed our pace. We hiked maybe 50% of the distance that other groups did. The company should offer an alternative for a shorter route that would be good for kids and people who want a slower pace or easier hike. Our guide was great and understood our concerns.

i would like a refund - The trip was cancelled by the operator due to bad weather. I have tried to contact trip advisor asking for a refund but the organization is extremely hard to contact in order to obtain a refund.
They have simply not acknowledged my email. I have found very hard to get an appropriate email address
