They cover everything on the way. Southern Iceland tour was good and our guide was a knowledgeable lady with an experience of travelling to over 55 countries. Only request is to increase the duration of visit at destinations by 10-15mins at least. This can be done by reducing time spent at super markets and cafes.
Siggy was the kindest, most knowledgeable, most helpful tour guide. He knew Iceland and was kind and thoughtful to his customers. He stopped for bathroom breaks, made suggestions, asked our opinions and was so enjoyable. I would recommend him and this tour. We saw so much. Even though the tour started late we saw all the itinerary and more! One bonus was stopping to see a roundup of horses on the peninsula.
This unique expedition combines both glacier hiking and ice climbing. If you want to experience one of the natural wonders of the blue ice while working out, this is the perfect adventure for you!

This tour takes you to South Iceland travelling through lush farmlands with views of powerful volcanoes, glaciers and thundering waterfalls.
First in a series of natural landmarks is Skógafoss waterfall, arguably the country‘s most iconic waterfall and one of South Iceland‘s star attractions. Viking legends tell of a treasure buried in a cave behind the waterfall.
From Skógafoss, you travel east to Sólheimajökull glacier for a 1-hour easy walk in a spellbinding glacier landscape. The combination of expansive views, jagged peaks, cool blue glaciers and wide-open sky provide a steady stream of amazing photographic opportunities.
Heading back to Reykjavik from Sólheimajökull is the iconic Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where you can literally walk behind a curtain of water — certainly a moment you’ll want to capture on camera.
Traveled around south Iceland with Midgard Adventures. Guide Stephnir was oh so kind, funny, knowledgeable, considerate. Terrific operation and you can't go wrong with these folks.
Your South Iceland journey will take you through the country’s lush farmlands flanked by rugged mountains, glaciers (including the infamous Eyjafjallajökull) and volcanoes. Witness the stunning interior on one side and vast Atlantic ocean views on the other.
On this tour of South Iceland, you will experience the powerful beauty of Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Here, the Seljalandsá river, which originates under Eyjafjallajökull glacier, falls. Also see Skógafoss, one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland.
Just outside the town of Vík í Mýrdal (or just Vík to the locals) you will visit the soaring basalt rock formation known as Reynisdrangar and the black sand and pebble beach of Reynisfjara.
A written description is nothing compared to the lived experience. Let the guides at Gray Line bring South Iceland to life with stories, facts, science and history.
