Reykjavík: South Coast Waterfalls, Black Sand & Glacier Tour

1.Reykjavík: South Coast Waterfalls, Black Sand & Glacier Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 11,030 reviews · 10 hours · from $126Our pick

Spend a full day with an English-speaking guide such as Sara, Eva, Barbara, or Andrea, traveling from Reykjavík to two major waterfalls, a glacier snout, Vík, and Reynisfjara. You can walk behind Seljalandsfoss when conditions allow, but bring waterproof layers and expect weather or sea warnings to change the plan.

“As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and taken care of on the South Coast tour with Eva and Hero. Hero was our driver, and he navigated through a snowstorm with incredible skill and calm. You could tell safety was always the priority. Eva was knowledgeable and engaging, keeping everyone informed and comfortable throughout the tour. Even with the challenging weather, the experience was unforgettable. I’m so grateful for their professionalism and would highly recommend this tour.”

The departure was on time and the coach was comfortable. Amber, our guide, was very funny, energetic, and knowledgeable. We had a reasonable amount of time in Oxford (1 hours guided tour plus 2 hours free time) and I felt like I was able to get a sense of the town.

“Excellent day trip to Caminito del Ray from Malaga. The pick up point instructions were clear and the bus / guide were there on time. The weather was unfortunately very rainy but I felt fortunate it still went ahead. The walking trail itself felt very safe despite the wet surfaces and other than the rainy views, we had the same experience as if it were dry. It’s an easy walk, as long as you are relatively fit and able. Our overall group was around 40+ people but for the walk itself we were split into smaller groups (8-10) covering the same language. Our guide Monique was great :) I would…”

Guides such as Don, Emma, Kiwi, Panda, and Golf are known for keeping groups informed and well cared for.

“The islands are beautiful, it’s hard to believe your eyes. The trip is well organised, it’s an early start but worth it to beat the crowds. The speedboat across, is fast and not for the faint hearted in rough seas (which we had), we were fine but plenty were being sick, but staff were helpful and offered bags and medication. Boat is busy with everyone squeezed in for the journey across. Soft drinks and snacks offered throughout, and lunch was delicious and they catered for gluten free upon request. You do have to walk through water to get on / off boat at islands, so dress appropriately. Highly recommend this…”

Jerard as our bus driver who was so friendly and helpful. They both made our trip more enjoyable. The tour was very well organised, when I first booked it I wandered if it would be long enough there, but it was a perfect amount of time. I definitely recommend if your wanting to visit giethoorn”
