Popular Tours in Southern Region, Iceland

Our tour operator, Tiddy, was incredible. He narrated the trip with so much interesting and entertaining information. I learned so much! We were foiled by weather in the Jokulsarlon area our planned second day, so he rearranged our schedule, found us another ice cave to visit (and we even got to climb a glacier!) And brought us to all sorts of bonus places to see along the way. He was a complete professional and a very calm, friendly, funny person. ...The itinerary for the trip is just breathtaking and stunning. The black sand beach of Reynisfjara is one of the most astonishingly beautiful I've ever seen in my entire life. Also the tiny village of Hof where we spent the night is charming and at the foot of this striking mountain. ....GO ON THIS TOUR! So good.

Our excursion was actually changed in advance to only a snowmobile trip due to flooding in the ice cave :( We were given the option to cancel, but what fun would that be? The guides were very knowledgeable and the snowmobiles and outdoor weather gear were in good shape. The guides were helpful and very careful to keep an eye on all members of our group. Since our group included people with varying skill levels, we were only able to explore a small section of the glacier in the time allotted. It would be great to be able to join a group with only more advanced riders in order to make the most of the day.

The destinations were incredible and our guide, Matt, made the day extra special with his infinite knowledge, witty repartee and interesting anecdotes. Following on from our trip the previous day, which covered the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon, this trip was a great extension of our exploration of Iceland. A fantastic day out. At each location, Matt ensured we were fully aware of the history, folklore, changes due to global warming etc. He also had an eye to safety issues.

Breathtaking views of the Glacier while driving the snowmobile. The cave is a natural one made by the water (not man-made like others). After leaving the Glacier we went to the Golden Circle and saw much of it... we did so much that we had con change the next day tour that was going to take us again to the Golden Circle (change it for the Norther Lights instead).

The tour allowed me to see some great highlights in Iceland since I had limited time. We stopped at great places and the guide was flexible with the schedule and rearranged visits to make sure it wasn't too crowded. He provided information about Iceland and was clear about our schedule, which gave plenty of time at each stop. Recommended on your stopover!
