1.3-Day South Coast Winter Tour with Ice Cave

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 171 reviews · 3 days · from $977Our pick

3-day winter South Coast tour from Reykjavik with Golden Circle sights, geothermal hot tubs, black sand, and Vatnajökull ice caving.

“My partner and I absolutely loved this whole experience! It truly is such good value for money. Our guide Hakkon was wonderful and provided us with information around all of the different locations/ spots we stopped at. He was enthusiastic and fun and made the trip unforgettable. We felt that we were not comfortable driving ourselves around in the winter weather so opted for this multiple day tour and we were not disappointed! We were also able to store our big luggage at the head office which was very helpful. Thanks again!”

2.Winter South Coast Day Tour by Minibus from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 109 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $180Best value

Winter South Coast from Reykjavik with Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, Reynisfjara, and a glacier walk, in a small-group minibus.

“Found this tour relatively soon as an alternative plan for the day fell through. This tour was 10000x more enjoyable than others. To begin, the sprinter van was so much more comfortable than the other "minibus" of other tour companies which are so uncomfortable & offer no leg room or recline - this tour bus had both. Anton gave us more history and fun facts of Iceland than any other guide and it is so clear he loves his job and Iceland. We never felt rushed at any stop and there were multiple stops for coffee/restrooms throughout the journey. Again, everything was great but Anton was the best part. Great…”

Private 9 pm Northern Lights hunt from Reykjavik with door-to-door pickup and flexible stops at Reykjanes Peninsula and Þingvellir.

“The day before, I went on a tour with another company, but it was the type of tour where you had to stop in one place and wait for all of two hours, so I didn't get to see it, so I quickly went on this quick tour the next day and ended up being very correct.Auto-translated”
