Whale Watching - We encountered two humpback whales, how exciting! A mama and calf. Nothing more to share....everything was managed expertly.

Go before things change - South Coast Tour is a must . There is so much to see from thundering and curtain waterfalls to black sand beach with sneaking waves, to spectacular stone formations , lovely lupines and breathtaking views . What can I say? Iceland should be on everyone’s travel list before more volcanoes erupt or the waterfalls dry up or the glaciers melt . Tour was organized and our driver/tour guide Leifur was excellent. Thank you Iceland for the beautiful memories you gave us .

Great tour - Great day trip to the south coast of this beautiful country. The highlight was the glacier lagoon and the seals! Great guide with a fun and knowledgeable attitude. Extra points for extra Game of Thrones stop! Thank you

A great way to see the Island - Absolutely loved this tour. Everything was planned to perfection although it was a long day. Plenty of information from the guide about the history and places visited. Allowed lots of time to mooch around the places and the lunch stop was amazing! Wish I was brave enough to go behind the waterfall, maybe next time ☺️

Nice tour - The tour experience was nice, driver was great. Sadly, although not their fault, when with an inconsiderate group of people, it really can affect the trip plus no WiFi.

Need better pickup information. - Reservation confirmation was unclear on pickup point. It was not the Hotel Kvorsin, but Bus Stop 1. We had to taxi to terminal to catch our tour bus. Seats on minibus and the seat belts are very uncomfortable for a 10 hour trip. Air conditioning did not work. Guide was very good.

Completely Unreliable – I Was Never Picked Up, and I’m Not the Only One - I booked this tour for July 24 and waited outside my hotel from 8:30 AM, even though the pickup was listed as 9:00. I waited for over an hour. I called the local tour operator several times, but no one answered. At 9:30 AM, with the help of the hotel receptionist (who saw me standing outside the whole time), I finally reached someone — and they just told me, “The bus already left, and we can’t come back.” I thought it was just bad luck — but two days later, while waiting outside my hotel for a different tour, I overheard another guest speaking on the phone, very upset. She was in the exact same situation: booked this same South Coast tour, was never picked up, and was told the exact same excuse by the operator. She had also been standing outside the hotel for a long time with an elderly companion. That’s when I realized: this is not a one-time issue — it’s a recurring pattern. Later, I read more reviews and saw that many others have had the same problem: • No pickup • No contact • Same excuse repeated to different guests This is completely unacceptable. I lost an entire day of my trip to Iceland and was left stressed and disappointed. I do not recommend this tour or this operator. Viator should take this seriously and remove them from the platform.

Not a real tour - Never came to pick us up. No one at the company would answer the phone or chat. Huge waste of $245. And a day of my trip. Don’t do this trip.
