This tour has the flexibility to make the most of the seasonal changes such as changes in weather and conditions. During the summer Iceland is characterized by energizing bright nights and midnight sun. Between August and May, if the forecast is suitable, you might even be able to spot the magical show put on by the Northern Lights. It is important to note that a guided Northern Lights hunt is however not included in the tour. Other wonderful and interesting possibilities can also come up during your south coast tour with us as Iceland is full of surprises.
We use a couple of different ice caves for our 2 day South Coast tour. Ice caves are ever-changing and unpredictable natural phenomena. We usually visit the Crystal Cave at Breiðmerkurjökull during this tour but when the Crystal Cave is inaccessible we will most likely visit Katla Ice Cave. Which ice cave is chosen will however always depend upon the conditions and safety considerations on the day, sometimes a different ice cave will be visited. If conditions do not allow us to visit an ice cave a glacier hike will be offered as an alternative.

2-day visit of beautiful south iceland

5.00Amazing trip, we did get very lucky with the weather which elevated the whole tour. Wendy is such a good guide, she had really interesting anecdotes to tell us throughout the tour and was able to answer all our questions. The time she gave us on each visit was optimal and she went above and beyond to try to show us northern lights at night. The spots included in the visit are mesmerizing and the number of stops we did felt very adequate for 2 days. Also Wendy is such a good driver, we felt absolutely safe. We look forward to booking another (longer) tour for our next visit in Iceland :)
Great safe trip

5.00Undoubtedly the best tour I’ve ever booked in Iceland! Every stop was absolutely breathtaking, with Jökulsárlón and the ice cave standing out as highlights. Unfortunately I can’t fully remember our guide’s name but he was amazing, highly attentive during snowstorms and incredibly knowledgeable.
