Excellent

Long day but definitely worth the effort. The places are amazing, particularly the boat ride on the glacier lagoon. Our guide Sven and Yusuf were very helpful and made the hours go by quickly with their excellent commentary. Very informative.

Wow factor 10/10.

What an amazing trip! We learned so much about Iceland and were able to experience some of the most magical things I have ever experienced. Our tour guide was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. Shout out to our (very cute) driver as well.. 14 hours behind the wheel is not easy. I highly recommend this tour,

Icelandic glacial wonder

You cannot leave Iceland without having seen the Glacier Lagoon, a truly magical and unique place. I highly recommend taking the boat tour to see the icebergs up close, apparently the same but in reality each one different from the other.

Excellent experience

Walking along Diamond Beach filled with pieces of glaciers, going on a boat tour through a glacier lagoon, and walking underneath a waterfall were experiences my family will never forget! This tour is well paced and Kristi, our guide, was very informative!

Tour worth taking -but bad bus.

The Bus Driver and thebtour guide Kristy are excellent. Even though Kristy has an accent, her English is OK and 95% could be understood. But she is a very good tour guide. The scenes and places are nice. But the bus itself is very bad. The manaement and the bus company wants to make more money at the cost of the passengers. If they can knock down one row of seats completely and make some leg room for the passengers, the management will not be at loss. Very cumbersome seating, especially for the elderly, pregnant and handicap people. Once you sit. you are stuck and there is no wiggle room at all. For those on the little heavy side it is nightmare. For me with normal build it was a hell.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the guide, driver, and scenery. We are sorry the seating felt cramped and uncomfortable, especially on such a long journey. Our coaches meet the required passenger-capacity standards, but we understand that comfort can vary between guests and appreciate your comments.

Many diamonds at Diamond Beach in August 2026!

Kristi was an excellent tour guide. We were early and got to spend more time at the diamond beach, which had a ton of “diamonds”. The day was beautiful and we saw amazing scenery. The lagoon boat tour was also spectacular. Highly recommend!

Don’t miss this tour - simply amazing

I did this tour with Kristi and Tomek. Kristi was extremely knowledgeble, like an encyclopedia. I learned so much in one day. The glacier lagoon and diamond beach was something unreal. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.
