Review of a two-day Iceland South Coast tour with waterfalls, Diamond Beach, Glacier Lagoon, overnight stay, and a blue ice cave visit.

“If you want to maximize your sightseeing on the south coast, this is the right tour. Kristoff (Kiki) was a terrific guide and so incredibly accommodating. From the waterfalls, to the black sand beach, to the glacier lagoon, diamond beach, and ice cave - all were top notch. Kristoff even sprinkled in an impromptu trip to the Yoda cave for my 14 year old. High marks for this experience.”

We added a last minute hiking boot reservation two days before and they made it happen! Excellent customer service! We had an awesome tour guide, Hawk/Hark, who always kept us informed of the itinerary and sites we were visiting. He was very kind and personable. He shared lots of information with us and local knowledge, which I really appreciated. He didn't just share about the sites, but also…”

“I would give five star to this tour for the things they covered-The glacier hike was once in a lifetime experience, the guest house we stayed in near the glacier was awesome, The two waterfalls were great!! Our driver and guide was awesome! Our hiking guide was super great!! The only reason I’m giving three stars is they did not cover the plane wreck which they listed in there advertisement, they did not go to the Vik Village which was listed in their advertisement… that is not being honest”

Explore Iceland’s South Coast in two days with a glacier hike, waterfalls, black-sand beaches, Jökulsárlón boat ride, and overnight stay.

“Our trip through South Iceland was nothing short of outstanding. Our guide, David, was one of the best parts of the trip. He was informative, charismatic, and talked about Iceland in a way that gave us an anecdotal look into the country and its people. The ice lagoon was superb - booking the boat tour is a must. This trip was an amazing way to see the country, and I’m very glad we decided on the 2 day trip instead of doing it all in 1. An easy 5 stars!”
