Explore Katla Ice Cave, Mýrdalsjökull, Skógafoss, and Seljalandsfoss on an 11-hour South Coast tour from Reykjavik.
“An incredible experience visiting the ice cave. Stunning nature - incredibly sad that it’s shrinking in size due to the climate change. Visiting the two waterfalls was beautiful too, but would have liked to visit both in the morning rather than one in the evening because of how dark it was. A small stop at a black sand beach too which was amazing. Travel was brilliantly organised and smooth. Definitely recommend and a magic day, however it is expensive and the time on the glacier in the ice cave isn’t long. Atlee (hope it’s correct spelling) was a fantastic guide!Read more”

“The bus trip to the falls was very enlightening. The road system in Iceland is phenominal and the tunnels were the best built tunnels I've ever been in. Our guide was a chatterbox, but ususally interesting. The falls were beautiful even on a cold, windy, rainy day.”
Review of Iceland’s South Coast day trip from Reykjavik, including a glacier hike, Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Reynisfjara, and practical tips.
“(1) Wear a hip-length jacket because you’ll be wearing a harness on the glacier hike that must be accessible in the event of a fall. Longer jackets will need to be rolled or bunched up, which isn’t comfortable. (2) don’t wear a hat with a Pom-pom because you’ll be wearing a helmet. (3) moderate fitness is needed, and you may be hiking at a brisk pace, depending on your tour guide. Falls are possible on the glacier, and safety checks of equipment were not performed. We were given an explanation of how to do something, but if I need to wear a helmet and a harness and use crampons, my…”
Review of Akureyri’s Mývatn tour, covering Goðafoss, lava formations, craters, sulfur pools, lunch, timing, and value.
“Our tour of Akureyri with Richie was excellent! He was friendly, attentive, punctual, and explained the sights we visited in detail. He created a WhatsApp group to share information about Iceland. We had a minor issue at the beginning of the tour, as we received the wrong link for the meeting point, but it was later resolved. We were able to enjoy the wonderful views of Iceland from the bus. We visited Godafoss Waterfall, Dimmuborgir, Lake Myvatn, and the Namaskard geothermal area. Since the tour is very extensive and we only have a limited time at each site, it's crucial to be organized. However, with the WhatsApp group, Richie was…”

“This tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The South Coast of Iceland is breathtaking, and this experience was the perfect way to take it all in. Our guide was fantastic — knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about Iceland’s nature and history. We visited two stunning waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, and both were absolutely magical.
