A Magical Trip

Iceland is a magical place! We had a fabulous time exploring different parts of the island, and had a well-curated list of attractions and experiences. Our travel agent put together an excellent itinerary for our very active family, with lots of varied options to choose from. He also made himself readily available for questions, and handled a near-crisis beautifully when our upcoming accommodation had a plumbing problem - he re-booked us at a fantastic hotel before we even knew there was an issue. I would have liked a trip summary page simply with location names, drive times, recommended visit timing, and map links (note that these items were included in the longer, detailed itinerary). However, as we discovered, Iceland is very easy to navigate. Our accommodations were excellent, and restaurant recommendations were spot-on.

The Best Family Trip

Our travel expert planned out an amazing trip for my family and didn’t leave out any details from the car service at the airport, wonderful hotels, tours and activities that fit me and my husband and our two teenagers. We only had 6 days in Iceland and every day was well planned. We had a wonderful guide and he was thoughtful about what we needed during our 4 day tour with him. He went out of his way to add in stops along the way that were special to our family. We felt like we got a “locals” perspective on Iceland, it’s people and history which we would not have received if we were driving ourselves. This really made the trip special.

Spectacular Trip!

Iceland was spectacular and our tour guide and tour group was 5-star. Our 14 day trip to Iceland was a complete success thanks to the knowledge and hard work of both the agency and our incredible guide. Every step of the trip was well planned! The suggested itineraries were sensational and we (family of five) felt that the trip was customized for us and allowed us to get an amazing feel of the country and its people.

An Amazing Family Trip!

We had an amazing trip and felt very taken care of by the staff at our travel company. They went above and beyond. The itinerary gave us days that were full of thoughtfully planned, unique experiences. Every day felt fulfilling; we saw beautiful sights, had adventures, delicious food, and great hotel experiences, all while our wonderful guide shared his knowledge of Iceland with us. His passion for this beautiful country was contagious. We truly had the trip of a lifetime and are very grateful to have found our travel agency.

Great Trip

Iceland exceeded all our expectations! It is an extraordinary place with an incredible culture. The country boasts amazing natural beauty and the food scene is diverse. The entire experience was unique.The travel company hired a private guide who was beyond amazing. We experienced the country from a local and tourist perspective, enjoying some of the traditional sites, along with several local spots.

Absolutely fabulous. Chiara the tour guide was brilliant, funny and very knowledgeable. Loved her many stories! Piotr (hope that's how you spell his name) our driver was also excellent, friendly and drove so well considering the very long day. The boat ride on this tour is a must among the icebergs.

Iceland South Coast - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Tour Highlights

  • Lying at the heart of Golden Circle, Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most majestic waterfalls. The awe-inspiring two-stage fall drops from a height of 32 meters into a dramatic narrow canyon.
  • Jökulsárlón is the country’s deepest and most stunning glacier lagoon. Because of its surreal beauty, it has been used as a filming location for numerous Hollywood movies.
  • Reynisfjara is the name of the iconic black sand beach the stretches south-west from the village of Vík. The volcanic beach features mesmerizing black grains, basalt columns and other intriguing rock formations.
  • Nestled in the Haukadalur Valley, Geysir is Iceland’s most famous hot spring area. If you’re lucky, you just might get to witness the jets of boiling water as they gush from the ground.

Travel Tips

  • Since public transport in Iceland isn’t massively developed, the most convenient way to explore the South Coast is by car. However, there are tour buses that operate to major attractions; most of them can be found in Reykjavik. Check out our guide on some of the best car rentals in Iceland
  • July and August are Iceland’s warmest months and most tourists visit the South Coast during this period. Winters offer the opportunity to view the magnificent aurora borealis; however, the temperatures can get brutal, days are extremely short and access to certain attractions may be restricted.
  • The Golden Circle is one of the most popular tourist routes for exploring southern Iceland. The 300-kilometer-long stretch of road gives easy access to numerous mountains, geysers and waterfalls. Have a look at our selection of Golden Circle Tours.
