South coast and glacier tour was incredible! - The tour was amazing. Took in so many great things during our tour including water falls (Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss), Black beach (Reynisfjara). The cliffs at black beach had our best view of puffins. The highlight of the tour was a couple of hours on the glacier at Sólheimajökull, with our amazing guide on the ice, Anna from Argentina. Big shout out to our tour guide and driver, Sveinbjörn Gudjohnsen! He made the tour incredible and shared culture, natural wonder and fun during the tour!

A wonderful day and unique experience - Wholeheartedly recommend and would book another tour. The guides Tales (driver for the day) and Fredericko (glacier hike) were stellar. Their knowledge and humor made the experience well worth the cost.

Glacier Hike and South Coast Tour - Bjorn was the best driver who shared the most interesting history, fun facts, and answered several questions! He got us from point a to b quickly. I would choose any tour Bjorn was hosting. The glacier hike was phenomenal and our guide, James, was knowledgeable and friendly.

Glaciers. Lagoon and hike - Juliana was a fantastic guide... the whole trip was wonderful with her easy grace and charm. Unlike the other drivers she was concerned about the welfare and care of the tour members and did little extra efforts to make things comfortable. Her communication was excellent
The Glacier hike was the highlight of the tour. Well worth the visit. Black sand beach was excellent as well. The Glacier lagoon was my favorite

Dress appropriately, be prepared to be in awe of nature. - We were here in late May. Weather was warm, no need to overdress. We wore water resistant hiking pants but I wore merino wool shirt and down sweater with a rain jacket. I was HOT. If it had been really sunny I would have been very uncomfortable. The hike is challenging but definitely doable. Be prepared to walk. The scenery is worth every drop of sweat and gasp for breath. Absolutely stunning. Eye opening to know this is all disappearing. Definitely learned why conservation and environmental protection are so important. Do this trip.
