Super fun tour and awesome guide! - The tour had so many nice spots - 2 huge waterfalls and a black beach and food at a local restaurant and a glacier hike!!! The driver/guide Jake from Hawaii was super friendly and helpful and chill, it was a pleasure to talk to him and he was super accommodating to any of the groups’s requests! He even gave me cool advice about less known places to visit in Iceland and dropped me off to the ferry to another island! Thanks Jake 🙂

Great way to experience the Southern coast - This was a great way to see the south coast. The two waterfalls were spectacular and we were given the appropriate amount of time to explore. The black sand beach was interesting. We were fortunate to see the nesting puffins as they are there from June through August. The glacier hike was an experience. Our guide was patient and helped everyone with the gear. He also added a ton of insight. Great day!

Stunning glacier hike - Terrific day!! Our guide was outstanding and very knowledgeable. The waterfalls and black beach were beautiful. The glacier hike was moderately challenging. Again, our guide was very thorough and patient directing us on how to walk on the glacier with the crampons. The entire day was very enjoyable! Highly recommend

Amazing Glacier hike with a taste of top sights of the south! - This long tour was well-paced by our driver/guide, and he did a great job setting expectations and clearly communicating what we were about to see. A good amount of time to get a taste of each location, plus a truly spectacular glacier hike that was beyond expectations (3 hours start to finish, and breathtaking). Absolutely one of my top tours ever through Viator or anywhere else.

Great experience rain or shine - The rain poured down but we still had fun and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The waterfalls were fantastic, the black sand beach was mystical and the glacier great fun. Our guide was cheerful and upbeat all day and we had a great trip. It is long so need to bring a packed lunch unless you want to pay the costs at the black beach cafe. 😎

Fantastic coast of Iceland with iconic waterfalls. - Fantistic scenery! Some of the best waterfalls in Iceland, horses, the black sand beach. The driver was very engaging but not everyone wanted to sing, say where they were from, or, at the end of the day, tell all what was the best thing about the trip or worst. I do wish the drivers would leave politics and polemics out of their monologs.

Super nice experience - A super nice tour. Our guide, Björn, was super friendly and made the tour a great experience :) The glacier tour was a little shorter than expected, but in line with the difficulty level (easy to moderate).

MUST DO !!! 强推 !! - Our guide Hinrik was amazing!Made it such a cool and fun experience for us. So breathtakingly beautiful every where in Ice Land. The ice hike was not hard and the guides made sure we were safe and well equipped. Bring a waterproof jacket for the waterfalls for sure. A must do one day trip. 好玩!!!!!导游巨可爱,一路上有说有笑,时间过的超级快。 冰川徒步也不难,有两位向导带着,安全措施也做的超棒。 太美啦! 我爱冰岛!!! 瀑布部分肯定要带防水冲锋衣,不用多说啦。强推!!!冲冲冲~~~
