Review of Iceland’s South Coast tour from Reykjavik, covering waterfalls, glacier views, Reynisfjara, Vík, transport, timing, price, and practical tips.

“Absolutely stunning scenery. Tour guide friendly but inane stories could have been more informative about the sights. Make sure to pack/bring a raincoat for the walk around the waterfall. Cold and wet but we'll worth it. The weather seems to change on a dime so wear layers. We saw rain, sleet, snow and bright shiny warmth all within the first few hours. Might've made the day more pleasant if everyone on the small tour was introduced to eachother. Spending the whole day together- why not”

Review of Iceland’s 14-hour South Coast tour to Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach.

“A coupe of days before the tour, I was notified by the company that they weren’t going to be doing the tour and rebooked us with another company. That was unfortunate because I had a great experience on this tour with the same company last year and was sad that we got moved to another company that wasn’t as great as Grey Line. With the new company, BusTravel Iceland, everything felt rushed. We didn’t have as much time at the different attractions and we didn’t get to see the Skógafoss waterfall which was advertised with Grey Line. We instead saw a smaller waterfall which wasn’t as impressive as what was…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 625 reviews · 10 hours · from $234

Review of Iceland’s 10-hour Katla Ice Cave tour from Reykjavik, with waterfalls, black-sand beaches, Super Jeep rides, tips, costs, and cave access.

“This tour was excellent, we went in winter and even though the daylight hours were short, we had good time everywhere and benefitted from gorgeous golden-hour light in each location. We loved the small group size and personal interactions with the guide who truly loved the places we were visiting. Driving through the ice and black sands to the Katla glacier was just as much an experience as the ice cave itself. thoroughly recommend to anyone with a free day in Reykjavik.”
