South Coast w Verjan - I went on the 2-day tour of the south coast with Verjan. He was fun and dedicated. He took us to an extra stop we had time for. The tour was a great introduction to the south coast of Iceland gutting some of the major spots.

5 stars 2 day trip - Had a smooth 2 day trip to South Coast. Our guide - Vjeran give us a few more suprising stops (which are awesome and much needed) and lots of information about Iceland. I highly recommend my guide and the trip. I have lots of fond memories during these 2 days.

A fab tour with a great guide - Had a great two day tour along the south coast. South coast is fab and lots of highlights to see. Organisation was great. Our guide Sindri 'the learned ;) ' was brilliant, full of information and looked after us all really well. Some great driving at points too! Day two was my favourite as loved diamond beach, glacier lagoon and the ice cave. I'm really glad I did the 2 day tour to have time to explore more at a more relaxed pace. Would definitely book again with Arctic Adventures.

wishes fulfilled - Small group South Coast & Jökulsárlón Sightseeing From Reykjavík was our tour which I didn't see listed above. The company was clear and organized to book with and should I return I would book more trips with them. The guides, Biggy and Helmar, were fun, knowledgeable, good story tellers, and very considerate of various needs of the small group. Despite a rainy day in April we saw everything promised. It was a long day but both my grandson and I wanted to go to Jokulsarlon to see the glaciers and Glacial lagoon with its icebergs - it did not disappoint. Great day!!

Iceland magic in 2 days - Vjeran was the best tour guide and made Iceland very special for us all. Took us to several extra sightseeing spots because we had a great group that kept to the time schedule. This is a fantastic tour if you only have a few days to sightsee. You get to experience the real magic that is Iceland...trolls and all.

Amazing 3 days (Golden Circle + South Iceland) - Our tour was actually the 3-day version of this which also included the golden circle as the first day. Outside of the golden circle this included the likes of the glacier lagoon, black diamond beach, glacier hike, seljalandsfoss, skogafoss, reynisfjara beach etc. Our guide was Arni and he was superb throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip - they adapt it depending on the weather conditions to ensure you get the maximum from it whatever the situation and Arni also through lots of extra stops in that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was a jam packed, ‘lunch on the go’ type of trip, which is exactly what we wanted. We wouldn’t hesitate to book through arctic adventures again.

The best way to see the south coast in winter! - Our tour guide was Linus who taught us so much about every site that we passed through. We fit in so much in two days and were blessed with sunny weather on the first day which is the majority of the stops. We first started at Seljalandsfoss then Skofagoss. (Since the pass behind Seljalandsfoss was closed, we stopped at Gljufrabui as well). At Skofagoss we saw majestic rainbows. Next was Reynisfara Beach and our lunch stop. I will say that traveling with a trailer to tow luggage, it wasn't safe for us to make a stop at Dyrhólaey, which is something to keep in mind if this is important to you. Next, we stopped in Vik to see the church and also make a stop for groceries, in case you didn't want to have dinner at the hotel restaurant. We then made additional stops at the Eldhraun lava field and near Vatnajokull for pictures before finally arriving at our hotel in Hof. The additional lengths that Linus went to to help us hunt for Northern Lights were so appreciated and ultimately successful! This was the absolute highlight of the trip. The second day we started the day at Jokulsarlon before getting into a super Jeep to continue onto our ice cave tour. After that we headed to nearby Diamond Beach before finally making the drive back to Reykjavik. I had additionally wanted to see Svartifoss (in addition to Dyrhólaey) but given the windy/rainy weather the second day we really didn't stop besides for rest breaks after Diamond Beach. All in all, Arctic Adventures is a very established group, we had a fantastic guide, and the itinerary for the two days feels just right. I booked this trip since I knew I wanted to see ice caves and didn't want to have to drive to Jokulsarlon in the winter on my own to do it, this is one of the few tours that includes northern light hunting and ice caves within its south coast tour, thus really making the most of traveling to Iceland in the winter. Highly recommend!

Splendid experience with Vjeran - Went on a 2 day south coast tour with guide Vjeran 🖤 he was very knowledgeable telling the group many stories along the way. Went beyond what is usually expected of a tour guide on several occasions ensuring our safety and comfort.

South coast adventure - Vjeran was our guide on our 2 day trip. We loved seeing the cave and glaciers, stayed in a very isolated place and thoroughly enjoyed our guide's enthusiasm and knowledge. I recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing the beautiful treasures of Iceand's South coast. P.s. bring multiple layers it's colldddd
