Traveler reviews
Great experience
I did this fantastic tour with John, who had a fantastic sense of humour and was able to drive through the windy and snowy roads of the South coast with great safety and skill. He decided to change the itinerary, since the first day's weather was horrible and the second day seemed much nicer. The glaciar hike and ice cave tour was pending, but he called them and they decided to change it to the second day's morning, which was such a great choice. We were able to experience Jokulsarlon lagoon and diamond beach on the first day, although it was very windy and rainy so it would have been better to see them the next day, but then it would have been way too packed with activities. We spent the night at guesthouse, located in a remote area, but unluckily we didn't get to see the lights that night. Dinner was reserved for the whole group in advance and it was delicious, although obviously expensive, as the rest of restaurants in Iceland. The guesthouse was clean and good, I had a great sleep. The following morning we did the awesome glacier hike, saw a small ice cave and then headed back to Reikiavik stopping at the Reynisfjara beach and the two waterfalls. The weather was shining and we had little to no wind, so we were very thankful to not have had to do this activities the previous day, as we wouldn't have been able to see nearly anything. The times allotted for each stop were reasonable to take some pictures and enjoy the place too. John took us back to Reikiavik safely and told us information along the way in both directions. He was very nice and we had a lovely dinner with him. Thank you so much!

Epic Getaway
Joined this tour with a friend for a few days getaway. Absolutely worth it. Our guide, Bran, was fantastic. He was both friendly and knowledgeable. We did a glacier hike, waterfall and saw black diamond beach in day one. Day two we saw the largest waterfall in Iceland, along with some iconic black volcanic beaches. For a short trip this was definitely the way to go.
10/10 Experience!
Bran and Adam were absolute professionals during our two day tour! We had an excellent trip coupled with their positive personalities and could not have asked for a better experience jam packed into the short time period. 10/10 recommend and you won’t be disappointed; it was better than expected and would recommend to any and all! Tak!
A perfect two days
What an amazing tour! Bran was a spectacular, knowledgeable, happy tour guide. He planned the days perfectly thinking about special moments to make the tour even more extraordinary. The guest house was also a wonderful surprise. It was beautifully decorated and a perfect location to see the northern lights out the front door of our apartment. I would use this tour company again and ask for Bran as well!
