Richie and Kelly were absolutely amazing hosts! Kept us entertained all day and even added a few extra special stops that really made the day interesting. They were engaging and gave us a personal experience of Iceland. Richie and Kelly both went above and beyond throughout the whole trip from pictures to live music!! We could not fault this trip and it was all because of our lovely hosts Kelly and Richie! Thank you, definitely would recommend!!

Asa our guide and Lukasz the driver were great. the sights were beautiful. we adjusted based on schedule, better scenery, lights, etc and even stopped at a few extra places. overall really worth the long drive. Just know the bus is tight.

Full description

Explore the dramatic landscapes of the south of Iceland on a full-day sightseeing tour by bus. Go to the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon outlet of the largest glacier in Europe, leaning about its history and formation from your local guide. Following a pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik, transfer to the southern coast and the dramatic Glacier Lagoon. Enjoy plenty of time to see the floating icebergs and enjoy the stunning scenery. During the season, make sure to reserve your ticket to the boat cruise on the Jökulsárlón and experience the unique Glacier Lagoon spectacle up close. When you prebook, your place is guaranteed. Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is Iceland’s largest and deepest glacier lagoon. It branches from Breidamerkurjokull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier. Return to Reykjavik, stopping at the gorgeous waterfall Seljalandsfoss. You will visit the Diamond beach with black sand, and there will be an additional stop in Iceland's southernmost village at Vík for dinner.
