Rainy and windy fun day - It was a great experience; we had fun in the rain. Our guide, Rebecca, was friendly and very funny, and we had an excellent day. I learned a lot about Iceland.

Seeing the sometimes mix of bleakness and beauty made the mind race, how people before modern life survived.. - If you like your breath taken away in awe...this is a must do.... found ourselves just gazing at the beauty nature delivers. All the time our guide would tell us the salient parts, but understood that the scenery really did all the talking. It was January, and whilst beautiful, our guides upper most concern was safety, his advice, help, understanding was invaluable. Its one for the bucket list. You will not be disappointed, but will want to return.

Excellent tour. Guide... - Excellent tour. Guide Kristian was extremely knowledgeable and educated us a lot about Iceland. Only one problem: I thought I had booked just a short walk on the glacier, but it somehow got changed to a 3 hr hike.

A MUST DO! - The Glacier hike is the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life!! Daniella was a spectacular Glacier guide making sure everyone felt super safe and prepared while also making the experience informative and super fun! We were initially worried because we are not particularly athletic but we did not have any challenge hiking the Glacier because we walked at a manageable pace and had stops for photos and water breaks. While the pickup in Reykjavik was early in the morning, we found that this was the best way to experience the south coast as travelers based in Reykjavik. We could nap on the bus when we felt a little sleepy and so the long day wasn't so bad. Both of the waterfalls were spectacular to view and photograph with opportunities to walk behind Skogafoss, which was awesome. Waterproof gear and hiking boots with ankle support are a must. A warm hat and gloves and high socks are highly recommended. The black sand beach and cave were beautiful and the guide was very informative about local history along the drive. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to experience Iceland's natural beauty and have an amazing day.

Amazing! Great view of multiple sites with rest in between! - Loved the guide. Funny, polite and informative. Our glacier guide was also the same. Would highly recommend with to anyone that doesn't have small children. May be difficulty with such a long day. So happy we did this!

Best experience in Iceland - We did this tour as part of the 3 Day - Iceland Bucket List Tour. The walk up Skógafoss Waterfall was a bit tiring and the stairs were a bit wobbly but worth the view from above. Our tour guide Tomasz took us to a very nice lunch spot in Reynisfjara and gave us loads of information throughout the drive. The glacier hike was the highlight of the whole trip! Our guide for the hike was brilliant, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Unfortunately we don't remember her name. The only downside was that I had to rent hiking boots because mine were slightly too low to safely put the crampons on. I wish the requirements for the boots had been better specified in the tour description as I thought mine would be good enough since they are sturdy hiking boots.
