Both are excellent places for a memorable photo shoot.

You can do it!

The glacier hike made me feel like I can accomplish anything. You must book this. The hike was manageable and views were amazing. The waterfalls and black sand beach were both great as well.

Our Favourite Day in Iceland

Published on Nov, 2024

The whole day was well beyond expectations! Our guide Elisa was full of enthusiasm throughout, she was very knowledgeable about Icelands history/landforms and was the and was a very approachable trip guide. The actual glacier hike was truly brilliant and the highlight of our whole Iceland trip, we were lucky enough to have a private tour with Enchy (sorry for misspelling, it's a lovely name!) who was brilliant throughout, she took us on a great adventure, and seemed to be enjoying the hike as much as us. The hike was relatively easy, but does involve occasional steep inclines; you'd get more from this experience if you have basic hiking abilities on rough terrain due to the crampons. We'd highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Reykjavik and wanting to experience the South coast. 6/5 from us!

WOW what an Experience l!!

Published on Oct, 2024

Wow what an experience!! Driver was so friendly and knowledgeable. Great day out for a first timer to Iceland. The water from the Glacier was the best I have ever tasted!

Great guided tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

Matej was a fab tour guide! He gave lots of information as we drove to each site and included funny stories. We had the perfect amount of time at each site and everything was very well organised. The sites were beautiful!

Great experience with Elise on South Coast tour

Published on Sep, 2024

The tour was amazing, and as a solo traveler, I didn't have to pay any additional fee for that! In the hotel we were staying, I got my own room. Tour guide/driver Elise was amazing, full of knowledge and fun facts, went above and beyond to show us as much as possible (+ her Icelandic music playlist is great)!
