Two days on Iceland’s South Coast with hotel pickup, glacier lagoon, Diamond Beach, and a Blue Ice Cave superjeep visit.

“We were caught in a snowstorm during the tour and I’m so glad our tour guide/driver, Lori, was super calm and experienced. We sat in the first row and literally could not see the road ahead of us because of the snowstorm, but Lori was super calm and collected and made the scary drive okay. Someone in the tour fell on the ice in the parking lot of the ice caves tours and probably broke her arm through her own negligence. Lori and the other tour guides quickly did some first aid. Then she and her friend still opted to do continue the ice cave tour and beach stop before…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 93 reviews · 2 days · from $718

2-day south coast tour with a blue ice cave, Skaftafell glacier hike, Jökulsárlón icebergs, black sand wildlife, and aurora chances.

“Our guide (Gum-may) really made our 2 day trip memorable. He was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure everyone had a good time. Although conditions weren't right to see the aurora lights he still tried to see if there was a chance even though another couple complained about him not going out of his way to make this happen as their app said there were viewings. We had a fabulous trip and totally enjoyed ourselves. It was long trip so maybe we should have taken the 3 day instead of the 2.”

It was an intimate group setting with 9 of us total and we were able to freely ask Frimann anything. He played us traditional Icelandic music the whole trip as well as tell us the history, customs and traditions and squeezed in a few off the beaten path pit stops. Out of the whole trip Vik beach was my favorite. The stunning lava stone beaches and ominous waves were mesmerizing. The glacier lagoons and waterfalls were also just amazing. The hotel we…”
