Join us as we explore the most sought-after and unparalleled sights of Iceland’s South Coast, including the globe’s most unique natural spectacle: a sapphire-hued ice cave, accessible through a trek on Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe. During this two-day journey, we’ll be taking you to the attractions that place Iceland at the pinnacle of travel destinations: commanding waterfalls, ebony-hued sand beaches, the unique Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, and a pursuit of the grand Northern Lights.
- Order or availability of attractions may change due to road or weather conditions.
- The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed by the operator. The hotels are in prime locations to maximize chances of seeing them.
- The limit is 24″ suitcase per person, and no multiple luggage allowed. If there is limited space in the car you might need to leave part of your luggage in our luggage storage, free of charge.

It was great. If you come to Iceland, you should definitely try the glacier experience! - We had a great experience! It's a long two-day tour, but worth it. At first I thought it was expensive, but when you join you will find it is worth more than the amount.
Walking to the glacier is available for rent with all equipment. You can safely cross the ice. I will never forget this superb view d my life. Ice lagoons, diamond beaches, these are not only amazing, they are also changing and make you think about the impact on the natural environment and what you can do to protect nature. Our guide Thales makes this experience even more unforgettable. You can be sure to take his advice. They recommend the best restaurants and food.

Incredible 2-Day Ice Cave and Glacier Adventure - Incredible 2-Day Ice Cave and Glacier Adventure
I had the pleasure of going on the 2-day Ice Cave, South Coast, Glacier Hike, and Glacier Lagoon tour, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, this tour was well-organized, thrilling, and absolutely beautiful.
On the first day, we explored the stunning ice caves – a surreal, almost otherworldly experience. Our guide, Max, was fantastic. He was not only knowledgeable and passionate about Iceland’s natural wonders, but he also made sure we felt safe and comfortable while navigating through the crystal-clear ice formations. Max's enthusiasm for the landscape was contagious, and he shared fascinating insights along the way. The hike was moderate but rewarding, and we were lucky enough to have great weather that made the colors and textures of the ice cave even more breathtaking.
The second day focused on Iceland's South Coast, with visits to iconic sites like Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls. These locations were just as stunning in person as they appear in photos, and we had plenty of time to take it all in. The highlight of the day was the Glacier Lagoon – a truly magical spot. The icebergs floating in the lagoon were absolutely mesmerizing, and we even got the chance to take a boat ride among them, which felt like something out of a dream.
The tour was well-paced, and Max made sure we were comfortable and had all the gear we needed. He was friendly, professional, and made the experience even more enjoyable with his great sense of humor and personalized approach. We also had time to sample some local Icelandic cuisine, which was a great touch.
If you're looking for an adventure that combines stunning landscapes, adrenaline, and the opportunity to see some of Iceland's most unique and spectacular features, this tour is a must. And with Max as your guide, you're in for an even better experience. Highly recommend

Iceland is Wild! - This tour was a perfect way to experience some of the most beautiful places in Iceland. The glacier hike took us through a crevasse and into an ice cave where you can see layers of volcanic ash in between layers of ice. The guides allowed us to take our time and provided lots of interesting facts about the formations. Diamond beach is an absolute must and the basalt columns at black sand beach. The tour was made all the better by our phenomenal guide, Branimir. He kept us on time, kept us safe, made sure we were always comfortable and gave us great advice for making the most of each stop. Along the way he made sure to highlight old lava flows, glacial outlets, and lots of waterfalls while telling us all about this beautiful country. He even stopped to let us pet some horses. Best tour ever!

Excellent 2 Days! But you need to be fit! - First of all, let me say that I knew exactly what I wanted to see on the south coast. The only way to see it all is to do a two day trip. Our guide was Jon, and he picked us up one time in his comfy minibus. He gave us details throughout the trip and historical important facts that were helpful. I feel like we had enough time at each location to truly take it in and see everything. The guest house that we stayed at was more of a hostel type place, but it was fine. Great location, right on the beach. Now, what is extremely important for everybody to note is that the glacier hike is not easy! You need to be fit to be able to do this. The glacier that they took us to. We had about a mile and a half hike over Rocky surfaces just to get to the foot of the glacier to start the hike. I admit, I’m not in the most amazing shape, but this part truly kicked my butt! So if you are physically fit, then go for it! All of the sites were beautiful.
