Exceptional service! - We spent 4 days in Iceland touring with Hidden Iceland and had an exceptional experience! Our guide, Ingimundur, was fabulous - very knowledgeable and personable, funny and an excellent driver. The mini van for our group of 10 was in mint condition and a great benefit is that it came packed with rain gear and hiking boots for all of us. Given that it poured for 4 days, we would not have been able to enjoy the trip without the excellent gear! If you’re planning a trip to Iceland, book with Hidden Iceland!

Best tour / Best experience - If I had known better, I would have booked all my tours with Hidden Iceland. The small group tour was definitely the way to go and the tour guide surpassed others in knowledge, friendliness, and engagement.

Fabulous Small Group Tour of the South Coast! - This tour was recommended by a friend and was perfect for us. A small group of 14 people who were interesting and fun to get to know. We particularly enjoyed Levy who was quirky and told Great stories. The weather turned nasty for the second half of the tour but we didn't mind. Our tour guide knew that puffins don't like to stay in the water in that kind of weather and he knew exactly where they would be. We love puffins so we were thrilled to be less than two meters away from a colony of several dozen puffins! The waterfalls were great as were the black sand beaches. Even the lava show - which we thought would be hokey - was very interesting. Highly recommend!!

Hidden Iceland is the tour to take in Iceland - Levi, our driver was fantastic. Very knowledgeable great sense of humor was able to reroute us to another lovely destination when the glacier we were supposed to visit was unexpectedly closed due to gas leakage. It was all a great trip.

Take this trip! Phenomenal!!!! - We went on this tour on July 24, 2024. Levi was our tour guide. We had a miserable day weather wise with heavy and intermittent rain all day long but Levi ensured we enjoyed this tour despite that weather! We stopped at 2 waterfalls which were spectacular, the Black Sand Beach, and a lava show at a local soup shop! The show was very good and the lunch we enjoyed afterwards was delicious and hearty! We enjoyed this trip for all 10 hours of our day! I highly recommend it and I highly recommend Levi as well. He was kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful, helped us understand the area and what we were observing either entire time! He also helped me feel comfortable and safe, addressing my mobility issues all along the way! Thanks Levi! And thank you Iceland for all your beautiful vistas!

Must do tour of the South Coast to view breathtaking views - I toured before with Hidden Iceland and was happy to find that they offered this tour to waterfalls. This tour also includes the really Cool or Hot Lava Show and a walk to view a glacier lagoon and glacier as well as Black beach (I think I really prefer black sand, it should be a thing).

If you only have time for 1 tour- this is it!! - This tour was amazing and Émilia was a fantastic guide! We saw everything on the itinerary and the small group size was much nicer than the giant buses we easily passed, and we had a brand new sprinter van w/ AC and rain jackets/ pants/boots too. The views were incredible and I couldn’t stop taking photos every step I took. Emilia was so organized and got us to places before most of the crowds. First was the glacier, then Vik, Black Sand Beach, Lava Show, and several waterfalls. We ate lunch at the Lava Show cafe called The Soup Company, which was insanely delicious. If you have time for only one tour while in Iceland, DO THIS TOUR with Hidden Iceland and hopefully you will have Emilia as your guide. Thank you!!!
