Gorgeous way to see a lot in one day! Viktoria was an energetic, enthusiastic guide and Lucas was a safe & speedy driver. Truly a bucket list experience kind of day. Thank you both!

Fantastic day with Matt, our guide, and Tomek, our driver—hands down one of the best excursions I’ve ever experienced! Matt was incredibly informative throughout the day, sharing so many interesting and fun facts. It’s clear he put a lot of thought into making the day as enjoyable as possible. Tomek was also fantastic, fitting in several bonus stops so we could see even more sights. Although it was a long day, it didn’t feel that way because Matt kept us engaged the entire time. The views of the glacier lagoon were simply breathtaking, and walking on the black diamond beach was unforgettable. Highly recommend!

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.

M Dawg and T Money were amazing! M Dawg is full of knowledge, interesting facts, and historical information which he shared throughout the entire day. He is very passionate about the tour and all Iceland has to offer. This was one of the most informational tours I've ever been on. The sights were amazing; they even stopped at other spots to make up for the lack of sight at one of the scheduled sights. I thought this personalization showed how much they wanted to ensure you got the best tour. M Dawg also shared recommendations at the end of the tour within Reykjavík, another added bonus he was not obligated to do. Highly recommend!!!
