  This tour was the highlight of the week for my son Henry and myself. Klaus was an outstanding guide and very informative professional and courteous throughout. The coach was really comfortable and after the storms of Monday we were blessed with good weather except at the Black beach but the wild winds made that even more dramatic. We loved both waterfalls and the beach but the glacier walk was something quite special and a once in a lifetime experience. Klaus had all the right safety kit and was patient with everyone and always safety conscious on the glacier. The journey up and down was long but with good stops and a constant update on the areas we passed our guide so we didn't mind at all. He told us so much about the island and the areas we passed through. Driving back the weather and roads had deteriorated but Klaus was really safe when negotiating them. A great tour. A great guide. A great company. Book it! Ian and Henry Hall.

  I can’t recommend a tour enough. We started with a stop to a gas station to grab some snacks which was so nice as the place we stopped at for food was kinda pricey. Then we made our way to the glacier hike which was INCREDIBLE. We spent about 2 ish hours there and the weather was so amazing, we got so lucky. He made decisions on where to go based on where he thought it would be the least crowded which I really appreciated. He also had us go back to the waterfall at a later time because originally when we passed it, it was kind of cloudy, and he said it would be less likely to see the rainbow. Then we went to the black sand beach and 2 waterfalls. Throughout the whole trip our guide, Svenni, was so beyond informative. He told us about his families farm up north, life in Iceland, and all of the landscape around us. It was a perfect mix of information and also knowledge about what it's like here. He also played great music and let us relax as it was a long day. We had a northern lights tour to catch, and he helped us with our drop off location and told us exactly where to go to grab food and use the restroom (it was a pretty quick turnaround time😜) which was so nice. This was our favorite part of the trip hands down.

  The experience, admission fee, atmosphere, length of visit, staff and crowd size is a 10/10. I cant recommend them enough. Sven was our tour guide he knows the glacier and waterfalls extremely well. He has great humor and really kept us all safe while being able to ensure a fun adventure. There were plenty of chances for bathroom breaks (if you are worried about that). If you're worried about the hike being challenging, it really is not. Any body can do the tour and if you're not in the best of shape just expect to be tired/sleepy when it is time to go home.

• Really great way to spend a day

  Excellent day out with ‘Glaciers and Waterfalls’ company (@glaciersandwaterfalls.is). We were so lucky with weather being a sunny day and very little wind. Our guide, Bessie, managed our safety with clear instructions for many using crampons for first time, and he clearly lives being out in nature on the glacier. He showed us ‘ice caves’ explained how they occur, and guided us safely. Very helpful and enthusiastic guide. Recommendation is to wear shoes with ankle support. Using crampons for first time felt so safe. Trip to black sand beach also amazing g and bonus of two waterfalls in way back. Definitely recommend. Liked the small group tour (think we had 16).

  This was one of the best tours I’ve ever went to. The glacier hike was insane! Our tour guide, Lorenzo, was extremely knowledgeable and kept us safe during the glacier hike. The waterfalls and the black sand beach were so beautiful. I’m glad we were able to do so much in one day. Highly recommend!!

  Glaciers and Waterfalls is a smaller local company, but they are first class in every way. Our guide and bus driver for the day was a North Island local named Svenni. He was personable and had plenty of great commentary as we drove south. The plan for the day was to visit two waterfalls, the famous black beach and a glacier walk. What was great about being with the smaller company was that Svenni assessed the weather and crowds as we past the first stop and decided on the schedule of stops on the fly. This meant we arrived at the glacier and avoided the big company time slots and avoided most of the rain at all of the stops. It was so nice to be arriving at locations after the bigger tour companies had been there. I would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone looking to support the local economy and local guides. Our family had a fantastic time on this tour.

  Lorenzo made a great performance as a guide. I felt very well informed and questions were also addressed. The trip was very illustrative, and the plan was also changed spontaneously to the weather or to wait for other guests. Thank you Lorenzo!

• Excellent tour worth the time and cost

  I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Lorenzo was an excellent guide, adding interesting and insightful comments about the surroundings and points of interest while we drove and led across the glacier adeptly. The glacier hike was definitely the highlight for me, but the waterfalls and black beach were also very beautiful and well worth the time. I initially balked a little at the cost of the tour, but after doing it, I believe it is well worth the price. It's essentially a full day, and, for the most part, it doesn't feel like you're "wasting" much time. I highly recommend this tour and Lorenzo, our guide.
