Spend a Moment on the Ice of Time - This was phenomenal! You hit multiple spots, but the glacier hike is the golden gem! Absolute beautiful adventure to get to see the ups and downs of the glacier. You see the bright blue colors and learn how it has formed and changed over time. You are given appropriate gear to be safe and secure while on us and our guide was phenomenal. Funny and able to make everyone laugh, but also, knowledgeable about the history and science of the glacier. It was beautiful to see Mother Nature and all her powers. Book this and you will NOT be disappointed!

Go see it before climate change. - I would highly recommend. Our driver was great at making sure we understood the itinerary for seeing the south coast and where was the best place to get food, drinks ect. Yhr cafe at black sand beach was very good. The waterfalls we great but my favourite place was black sand beach but I believe it's changed a bit since we were there. We went onto the glacier with Edgar. He was a brilliant guide. Very patient and friendly. He didn't make me feel stupid for being nervous on the ice, which I appreciate. The glacier is stunning and unforgettable. This whole experience was a highlight of my trip.

Perfect - The combination of the dramatic waterfall, the otherworldly black sand beach and the thrilling glacier hike made this part of the Iceland tour an absolute standout. Standing at the base of the waterfall, with water crashing down and mist rising all around, felt like stepping into a fantasy movie. The black sand beach, with its jet-black grains and crashing Atlantic waves, had an eerie yet breathtaking beauty—perfect for capturing unforgettable photos. The glacier hike was the highlight of the whole trip; equipped with crampons and guided by an experienced instructor, we trekked across the sparkling blue ice, explored hidden crevasses and learned about Iceland’s glacial history. Every moment was well-organized, safe and incredibly immersive, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Our guide made all the difference - This was the most fun and breath taking tour I have made. The water falls and glacier hike are places that I'll take with me the rest of my life! Bjorn was our guide and along the road trip he provided us with the rich history of the country, background stories about the places where we were going to and even about the villages and towns that we were passing by. He is a kind person that loves helping and meeting people.
