South Iceland and Glacier Lagoon: Jökulsárlón with Boat Tour

Mikki is the best guide ever!) Our tour was excellent, a lot of beautiful views 😍

It was amazing experience! Miki is a really good guide!

I just want to send my comments to the best guide and driver - BENEDIKT He is perfect time arranger and is really responsible for the customer safety and ensure everyone come to the pointed pick up Making me take the bus to hotel on time and safe More importantly, his explanation for the trip is really clear and we can know the history of the place Anyway, BENEDIKT IS REALLY AMAZING GUIDE the people who are in the trip also say he is a great guy We like BENEDIKT!

Bus did not arrive at pickup point and the later tour was sold out. No communication from the company on their app or by email. Can we give zero stars?

Nice highlights visited .The icebergs at Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach were amazing.

Mikki was an absolutely fantastic guide! He explained everything perfectly, gave us great advice, and on top of that, he’s an excellent driver. Thanks to him, we really enjoyed the whole trip. We can definitely recommend him to everyone!

Very well organised tour. Sights were amazing and our guide (and driver) Gudjon Jes was very helpful and knowledgeable, providing us with a lot of information and making the long tour really interesting! I strongly suggest the optional boat tour in the glacier lagoon. It was an amazing experience!!!

Gudjon Jes was an excellent driver and guide. He has a profound knowledge of Iceland (even about chess!) and a good sense for humour.

Our glacier and South Coast tour of Iceland was an unforgettable experience, packed with stunning scenery, exhilarating and interesting activities, and memorable moments from start to finish. The tour guide, Albert, was informative and comedic. The driver was also very good as he drives safely. It started off on a good note when the van that picked us up from the bus stop came on time, and the transfers were smooth, directly leading us to the bus. From there we went to a glacier from the period of the ice age. The glacier tour in the boat was breathtaking, and we even had the chance to witness icebergs (and even possibly saw fish that got trapped in the ice) and hold small chunks of ice that fell off the glacier/ iceberg’s. Additionally, the food stops were very good and had reasonable prices with lots of different options ( veg & non veg ). Also, the crowd size in all the destinations were minimal and enjoyable as we didn’t stand in line for an hour for food, admission tickets, etc. Furthermore, the journey was as beautiful as the destination itself, we witnessed lava fields, encountered live animals (sheep, horse, birds, ) and plain green land with lakes and mountains. Finally, the waterfalls at the end acted as the cherry on top, being able to go right next to the waterfall and in another one go behind it ( short ten minute walk from one another ) . However, one thing that could be improved is having more time at the diamond beach as we had very limited time (15min for diamond beach). Best for family with kids as they get to play around in the waterfalls (splash warning ‼️).

Recommend springing for the memorable boat ride at Diamond Beach. There were seals lazing on icebergs. You get a better view of layers of snow and ash in large calved pieces of the glacier and of various colors of smaller melting pieces. Guide relayed local lore, explained geologic features and historical impact of eruptions. You will have time to nap if you choose but so much to see and hear if you are into these subjects! You can’t do all the amazing things in this itinerary with a cruise ship tour or in a single day by car. We went 470 miles (not km) roundtrip. The guide mis-managed some of our time with a pointless ice cream stop just before dinner such that we had to rush to find food at dinner (so make use of good food trucks at lunch at DB). There was also a (civil) dispute w/the driver about his road hours which caused us a bit of stress about missing the falls at the end of itinerary-we didn’t and they were awesome. We all met in AM at bus station near our lodging so were unaware that all the many hotel stops at end would be before final bus station stop when we were already tired.
