5.00Beate was an incredibly kind and patient guide, always full of enthusiasm. Thanks to her, we had such a joyful and unforgettable hiking experience. Bjorn, our driver, was warm and humorous, sharing a wealth of fascinating facts about Iceland throughout the journey. The South Coast and the glacier hike were absolutely worth the trip—the scenery was breathtaking and spectacular. Highly recommend!

5.00Just go. Our glacier group had the entire age range: from young to old. Our glacier guide Mika trained us well and accompanied us well. Our driver Sergei made stops at two waterfalls and the black sands beach, giving us enough time (you now, considering time limits). Both guides were friendly and attentive to personal needs. Superb experience!

5.00What an incredible day! It felt like we packed a week’s worth of adventure into a single tour. Bjorn was a fantastic guide-his stories, humor and seemingly endless knowledge of Iceland kept us entertained from start to finish. The glacier hike was a highlight of the day, thanks to our guide, Katarina. I was a bit nervous about it, but her encouragement and positive energy gave me confidence.,Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for adventure, amazing scenery, and outstanding guides.
Björn is a legend!

5.00An awesome adventure. The rain stopped for us to enjoy the black beach and George was a great guide for the glacier hike! We had all types of people on the hike and everyone had a successful excursion on the glacier.
A long day and worth every minute

5.00Another 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.
An amazing day out!

5.00Being 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!!

5.00We 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!
Bran is fun
