This tour was the perfect mix of adventure and sightseeing, and easily one of the most unforgettable days of my trip. If you want to experience Iceland’s raw natural beauty up close—from waterfalls to glaciers—this is the tour to book. The highlight of the day was the glacier hike. Our guide Sara provided all the gear and gave a quick safety briefing before leading us onto the ice. Walking on the glacier felt surreal—blue ice, deep crevasses, and incredible views in every direction. Sara explained how the glacier is constantly changing and even took professional-style photos, which was a great bonus. Next up was Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, with dramatic basalt columns and crashing Atlantic waves. It’s beautiful but powerful, and I appreciated the guide emphasizing safety while still giving us time to wander and take it all in. We ended the day at the famous South Coast waterfalls, including Seljalandsfoss, where you can walk behind the cascade, and Skógafoss, powerful and majestic with rainbows in the mist. Both stops offered amazing photo opportunities and just the right amount of time to explore. It’s a long day, so dress warmly and be prepared for changing weather, but every moment is worth it. The combination of sightseeing, adventure, and expert guidance made this feel like multiple tours in one. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to add real adventure to their Iceland itinerary: glaciers, waterfalls, beaches, and memories that last a lifetime.

Amazing! Thomas was such a great guide and made the trip memorable. The hike was beautiful and so were all the waterfalls.

Absolutely breathtaking (both literally and figuratively) experience. I will forever be thankful to my tour guide for his patience as it took a lot more stamina than I expected to make it through the entire trip. It also was raining for most of the day when our group went but even then, I am still amazed. Everyone who visits Iceland should have this tour scheduled to get a full experience. I still can’t believe we did all that in a day!!

Great hike, challenging but not overwhelming. Great way to experience something new. Our guide was fantastic.

Tomas was kind, patient, and knowledgeable! We had ample time at each stop with the freedom to explore for ~30 min per stop, which was incredible! Plenty of food a long the way, and of course, photo ops. I can’t recommend this enough!

Glacier hike was amazing, well prepared about how to use equipment and felt safe. Would have like a little more time to stop and take a few pictures at various spots. Amazing experience. Would have liked about 15-20 minutes more at each waterfall site as we had no time to climb the one. Both sites were fabulous.
