2.Iceland South Coast Full Day Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,988 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $139Top rated

A 10-hour South Coast small-group day from Reykjavík: Skógafoss, Sólheimajökull glacier, Reynisfjara black sand, Vik, and Seljalandsfoss.

“Absolutely stunning scenery. Tour guide friendly but inane stories could have been more informative about the sights. Make sure to pack/bring a raincoat for the walk around the waterfall. Cold and wet but we'll worth it. The weather seems to change on a dime so wear layers. We saw rain, sleet, snow and bright shiny warmth all within the first few hours. Might've made the day more pleasant if everyone on the small tour was introduced to eachother. Spending the whole day together- why not”

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!!!”

He explained everything we needed to know about safety, the history of the areas we visited, and was a generally a great person. I will tell you that it is very strenuous and you need to be in good shape. But the Glacier is beautiful, the scenery is fabulous. It's a small group tour, we had only 14 people.”
