We had a really amazing time on the South Coast Wonders tour. The excursion lasts all day and you're never lacking for things to do or things to look at. The tour guides (ours was Hershey) are knowledgeable and friendly, and tell history, folklore, and other stories about the area along the way. They care sincerely about safety while also still making the experience fun. Highly recommended if you want to see some of the most iconic places in Iceland and learn about the land from people who care about it.
Amazing experience! Hershey did a wonderful job!!
