A day to remember!! - What an amazing day. We saw more than we could have expected. From the waterfalls, the plane wreck to the glacier, Slavi made this a memorable experience.

Amazing Tour - 10/10 recommend. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interactive with the group. Be sure to bring snacks or buy food at any of the rest locations that the guide stops at. Make sure to wear the proper clothing, especially hiking boots and waterproof clothing. I would recommend wearing multiple layers to adjust as the weather can be unpredictable. Overall the tour was beautiful and took us to all the amazing sights on the Southern coast.

Nice excursion with just enough to do - Really enjoyed this trip. It delivered exactly as described! The waterfalls were magical and easy to get to. The black sand beaches were beautiful and there was plenty of time to explore and get lunch. We enjoyed the DC-3 plane and then a short stroll on the deserted beach. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

The perfect day with Arctic Adventures - Our tour with Martin from Arctic Adventures to south coast was great. Martin was entertaining and kept us engaged throughout the journey. His deep knowledge of the area added to the experience, and his sense of humor made the trip enjoyable. We visited 2 waterfalls, the black sand beach and the DC-3 airplane wreck was breathtaking, and Martin's guidance made it truly special. We highly recommend both Martin and Arctic Adventures

Geological interest! - The beach was amazing, as were the waterfalls. The plane to me was not interesting but the land the plane was on was fascinating. So much area with so little life!

Recommend this trip - We thoroughly enjoyed this trip but sadly our bus broke down on the way and because of the time we lost we only got to spend 20 minutes on Reynisfjara beach which wasn’t long enough. For anyone concerned about walking to the plane wreck, there is a shuttle bus which drops you near to the plane and picks you up either half an hour or one hour later. The only down side to the trip is that the bus is shared with people doing a glacier hike instead of the plane wreck and we had to sit in the bus for over an hour waiting for them. If you plan to go maybe take a book.

Disappointing - Trip was not as in the iternary, first of all pick Up was late even though I was the first one it Started after 8:30. First of they had skipped both skogafoss and gljufrabui falls and when asked to take there it was agreed and At seljalandsfoss we were given only 20 min and not 30 as in iternary, and then gljufrabui was skipped and upon continuous asking the guide said it is not in the iternary on arctic adventure. Skogafoss was given hardly 5-7 min.
