★★★★★Viator review
Stormy Day but still a wonderful experience
Tiffany_B, October 2026
I was hesitant about taking such a long tour but am glad we did. We went during their first winter storm of the season, rain all day and winds up to 50mph. The bus ride was a bit scary because of the wind, but we made it Minus being able to see one waterfall. Our driver was very skilled and our guide, Sunny, took good care of us. Besides the wind, the bus ride was very enjoyable. The bus is comfortable, with trays and outlets and the scenery is incredible for the whole trip. You’re looking at lava fields, waterfalls and streams, glaciers, and mountains the whole time. The one waterfall we got out to see and was able to walk behind was magnificent. The glacier lagoon was really cool and unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. I’m really glad we got to see so much of Iceland. Reykjavik is beautiful, but I feel like I got a much better feeling for Iceland by exploring out. Highly recommend

A Magical Last Day in Iceland
Curiosity59026843678, October 2026
After my South Coast tour booked with another company was cancelled yesterday due to the weather, I’m so happy that I got to experience it on my last day in Iceland! Since I had a flight to catch that evening, I’m especially grateful to Andréea, who was incredibly responsive from the very first email and helped me make up for yesterday’s disappointment. The whole journey was so enjoyable and full of surprises. A big thank you to Robert for driving so smoothly throughout such a long day! I also absolutely loved all the little stories Andréea shared along the way and the music she played. Such good taste! Her warmth, enthusiasm and friendly personality created such a lovely, relaxed vibe throughout the entire trip. And the traditional Icelandic lullaby she sang at the end was simply beautiful. It was such a magical way to end my time in Iceland, and a moment I’ll carry with me for a long time. I’ll definitely miss Iceland, but I hope to come back someday. Thank you for making my last day here so special! ❤️

Beautiful South Coast Day
E4140RPchristinem, October 2026
We had such a spectacular day on our South coast 14 hour tour. Our tour guide Andrea was absolutely incredible. She had so many interesting Iceland facts and folklore. It’s worth the long ride to see the South coast and the glacier lagoon and diamond beach. We saw seals and took so many great photos. We were able to see the waterfall at night which was so fun. This was the highlight of our trip to Iceland.

A magical and unforgettable trip! ★★★★★
591l_onieb, October 2026
A simply extraordinary excursion from start to finish! The day is quite full, but the landscapes passed through are so breathtaking that you absolutely do not see the time pass. Navigating in an amphibious boat in the middle of the icebergs of the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon is a surreal and magical experience, not to mention the magnificent stops at the waterfalls (Seljalandsfoss, Stjórnarfoss, and the Vík region). A big thank you to our guide Sven for his warm welcome, his fascinating explanations, and his good humor throughout the trip. An absolute must-do departing from Reykjavík, I recommend it 100%!
