Very disappointed

Unfortunately, we missed our tour because the station guide gave us the wrong information. She pointed us to a bus headed for the airport instead of our tour. We were so looking forward to seeing the diamond beach. We were prepared for the long day and it was incredibly disappointing to miss this opportunity because the attendant wasn’t paying attention.

Spectacular experience!!! The best of Icelandic nature

Magnificent experience!!! Spectacular waterfalls, imposing glaciers, the beautiful Glacier Lagoon with its icebergs, and the evocative Diamond Beach. Even the bus trip, although long, was not at all tiring because outside the window it was a succession of volcanic plains, waterfalls, glaciers, rocky walls, etc. Our guide was very skilled and friendly.

Glacier Lagoon was amazing

This is a loooong bus ride, with 10 of the 14 hours in a small coach bus. The Diamond Beach and Glacier lagoon were awesome and made the ride worthwhile. There’s an optional boat tour of the lagoon that was not offered thru Viator, but the driver was able to get tickets in advance while in the bus, I would definitely recommend.

Great day with your guide Lasma

The Glacier Lagoon is stunning. On the way there and back we visited a couple of stunning waterfalls. Our guide Lasma was so knowledgeable. It is a long day but you see so much of Icelands stunning countryside.
