Iceland's South Coast Odyssey: Waterfalls, Black Sands & Glaciers

A nice day together with a clever and fun guide. We visited nice nature and learned a lot of the history and culture of Iceland I can recommend the tour and the guide and busdriver.

We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure today! The bus was spacious and comfortable. The driver took the utmost care when driving on the winding, wet south cost roads. The guide was a wealth of knowledge about Icelandic history, traditions, geography and even asked us for questions and addressed many topics that way which was fun! The driver and guide made a quick route change so we could get it all in before the rain hit. This was the third bus trip we did while here and the only one where the guide wasn’t also the bus driver. We appreciate their expertise and highly recommend!

Unner (tour guide) and Bartek (driver) we absolutely fantastic! The views do not disappoint and my husband and I wanted to stay forever. 100% worth taking the time and the information provided by Unner was so helpful and informative. The black sand beach was my absolute favorite part and we only wish we had more daylight to take even more in!

Gunnar and Bartek were wonderful. A head count was done before every take off, and we were told the length of stay, what we could experience, and safety advisements at every stop. We heard lots of interesting facts as we traversed and learned about the sagas and other important information about sites and Iceland in general. I’m truly happy with how much we learned and saw today, as the rest of the tours I had planned for our trip got cancelled earlier in the week due to weather. Thank you so much for making our trip complete!

Excellent tour! Great stops, a super informative guide with lots of humour, and a very kind driver. Professional change of plans due to weather conditions. Thanks so much.

Our guide and driver were excellent! We learned a lot and we felt safe and well cared for the whole day! It was an amazing tour!

As a school teacher, I have never felt so much trust and care from a tour guide and company than was given by Ritchie on our 4 night stay in Iceland with 35 teenagers on a school trip from the UK. The knowledge Ritchie shared with the children must have been honed over hours and hours of his own research - every moment of our three day tour was full of incredible stories, insights and incredible observations from Ritchie. I mean this when I say Ritchie is the best tour guide I have had the pleasure to work with. Aside from his knowledge, the thing that stood the most was his genuine care for our group and our children. He went above and beyond every single day to ensure the care of enjoyment of our children - from ensuring we didn’t miss an incredible display of the Northern Lights, to spending hours of his own time searching for lost items on our coach. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and in fact when we next come to Iceland for our school trip in 2028, I hope to insist he is our guide. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We miss you already Ritchie! Hopefully see you in 2028.

Excellent tour of the south of Iceland , seen many great sights . The guide Peter and the driver were brilliant . Perfect pace for the day . Highly recommended

We were picked up at city hall, the driver got out and called everyone’s name and made sure we were all present before leaving. That bus took us to a central depot where we got on the tour bus. The bus was comfortable and had wifi and USB charging ports. The guide filled the time between sites with some trivia and history of Iceland. It was overcast and had light rain at times, but we got so wet with the mist coming off the 2 waterfalls and pounding ocean at the black sand beach we didn’t notice. Each stop was beautiful and the guide gave us good preparation tips at each stop. He kept a close eye on us at the beach where the waves were rough and unpredictable. My favorite stop was the final waterfall where you can walk all the way around. Be aware you will get wet and at the glacier it gets very cold as you approach, so dress accordingly! It was foggy on the way home and the bus driver did a great job getting us home safely.

Unforgettable South Coast Adventure with an Amazing Guide! Our South Coast tour from Reykjavik was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The scenery itself was breathtaking — black sand beaches, stunning waterfalls, and glaciers that looked like something out of a movie — but what truly made the experience special was our guide. They were extremely knowledgeable about Icelandic history, geology, and local legends, sharing fascinating stories and fun facts throughout the journey. You could tell they were passionate about their country and genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. The pacing of the trip was perfect, with plenty of time for photos and breaks, and the guide even gave us great tips for local food spots and hidden gems along the route. The bus was comfortable, the schedule ran smoothly, and we never felt rushed. I would absolutely recommend this tour (and especially this guide!) to anyone visiting Reykjavik. It’s the perfect way to experience Iceland’s beauty in one unforgettable day!
