Our guide (I believe her name was Chrissy but apologies if I'm indirect!) was very knowledgeable and approachable and told us a lot of fun facts and funny stories. This tour was the best part of our trip. Thank you! 🇮🇸💙🤍”

“I never write reviews but felt compelled to after today. I had an amazing day, with an amazing guide, and was truly thankful for the experience. Sara was attentive, knowledgeable, extremely kind, and has a killer music playlist. On the glacier hike specifically, she gave clear instructions, reviewed safety guidelines thoroughly, and made sure everyone was wicked comfortable. I wish I had her as my guide for all my excursions. The HIGHLIGHT was it was my birthday and she kindly surprised me with a slice of cake along the way. So unexpected, but so grateful. I was really appreciative of that. HIGHLY recommend SARA!!!”

10.Waterfalls, Black Beach & Glacier Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 479 reviews · 12 hours · from $146

From Reykjavík, this south-coast day trip packs waterfalls, Reynisfjara black beach, and an optional Solheimajökull glacier hike.

“Christina was a knowledgeable, entertaining, experienced, accommodating, savvy guide, who is passionate about the beauty of her country and the safety of everyone. Wonderful group of sights to see and well organized and in the right order to accommodate our comfort. Good music and rest options between sights. I should have brought or rented better boots, but they were available. It may benefit the group to lane the glacier hike more strongly as a moderately strenuous activity. Overall: 5 stars and I’ll bring my family back to enjoy in the future!”

Michal's knowledge of the beautiful south coast and its stunning and unique natural landscapes was quite impressive. He also excelled as our glacier hiking guide, ensuring everyone's comfort and safety. When my gloves got wet from the waterfalls, he even lent me his. Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Iceland, especially adventure seekers!”

“Our guide Rob was awesome. Endless energy. Adequate stops for restrooms and food. We visited all the waterfalls with time to explore and of course the glacier hike. No question: this is a hike. If you have any physical limitations, this is not for you. It was more than I could have imagined. Literally feeling like you're on the top of the world! Nothing was rushed, we ended up with a smaller group for the hike and that was great. The last stop was the black sands beach there's a nice cafe for a cold one if you're tired as I was. Long drive back to Reykyavik but he made…”
