A long day and worth every minute - Another great excursion here in Iceland. Our guide Maria’ was funny, knowledgable and of course Super Icelandic! Between stops she gave us plenty of facts & history of the region we were near and the country in general. Fun walking under the falls, climbing hundreds of steps to the top of another waterfall & the glacier hike was awesome. Be prepared for a 12 hr day but sooo worth it.

Grateful for the experience - Being physically active seniors in our seventies we were pushing the upper age range for the glacier hike. Our joyful guide Beth made the hike fun, safe, and interesting. John the other guide who drove us around the South Coast was very accommodating. The trip was an experience of a lifetime and we were grateful for having this opportunity.

Id recommend this tour to anyone!! - We were in the wrong location for pick up but Þorkell (we think!!!) called and ensured we met him just around the corner. The van was very comfortable, he offered information as we drove through the south coast. We were spoiled with beautiful weather. we completed our glacier hike with Jerkoff who was exceptional - truly. I recommend this tour. We loved the Golden Circle but the South Coast became our favorite after this experience!

Glacier Hiking and Waterfalls - Amazing tour with a genuine Icelandic as our tour guide. Elias went above and beyond for everyone on the tour and had the patience of a saint with some challenging passengers! He ensured we saw all landmarks despite running behind schedule and we never felt rushed. The Glacier hiking was amazing! We were very lucky with the weather and Lorenzo was a brilliant hiking guide. Would highly recommend this tour

Spend a Moment on the Ice of Time - This was phenomenal! You hit multiple spots, but the glacier hike is the golden gem! Absolute beautiful adventure to get to see the ups and downs of the glacier. You see the bright blue colors and learn how it has formed and changed over time. You are given appropriate gear to be safe and secure while on us and our guide was phenomenal. Funny and able to make everyone laugh, but also, knowledgeable about the history and science of the glacier. It was beautiful to see Mother Nature and all her powers. Book this and you will NOT be disappointed!

Go see it before climate change. - I would highly recommend. Our driver was great at making sure we understood the itinerary for seeing the south coast and where was the best place to get food, drinks ect. Yhr cafe at black sand beach was very good. The waterfalls we great but my favourite place was black sand beach but I believe it's changed a bit since we were there. We went onto the glacier with Edgar. He was a brilliant guide. Very patient and friendly. He didn't make me feel stupid for being nervous on the ice, which I appreciate. The glacier is stunning and unforgettable. This whole experience was a highlight of my trip.

Amazing glacier tour and a fantastic guide - Overall, the experience was really very nice. Anna, the guide for the glacier excursion, was fantastic and very friendly. The bus driver was very skilled at driving and handling the road, although he sometimes seemed a bit less friendly in his interactions with people.
