He told us stories about the name Katla cave, why it’s called like that, everything about the mountain there and the area all around. Just perfect! I wish I could know his name, to recommend him to others. We had a lot of fun!”

“Driver: John is very knowledgeable about the many different types of landforms and the history of Iceland and its people. We appreciated learning as much as we did about geography and geology and the changes that are affecting Iceland and that will affect us all. Tour: We saw so much and we were happy to have someone else driving us so we could take it all in and enjoy it. We do not believe we would have been able to do this on our own, and we were glad to enjoy the vistas and the sunny days that we were lucky enough to have. The views of the Northern Lights…”

There are plenty of stops to use the toilet and have a snack, but be prepared to stay busy the whole three days. The hotel was simple, but the rooms were clean, comfortable and the restaurant at the hotel had something for everyone. I would definitely recommend this trip.”

6.Katla Ice Cave & South Coast Day Tour from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 272 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $300

A guide-led glacier walk, crampons, Super Jeep transport, and selected hotel pickups are included. Guides such as Helgi, Nils, and Kari have earned especially warm praise for safety and personal care.

“This was one of the highlights of my Iceland trip. We saw two dramatically beautiful waterfalls as well as the black sand beach. And the most exciting part of this tour were the ice caves. You're actually climbing on a melting glacier (it can get slippery and tricky at points; I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who isn't moderately good shape). The caves were surprisingly small, but very beautiful. And the entire experience was awe-inspiring; if felt like we were on a different planet. I had only one day in Reykjavík, and debated long and hard between this tour and the Golden Circle. I'm so glad I choose this. The…”

Guides such as Laura, Robert, Alex, and Sindri are known for glacier facts and helpful photo tips.

“From Reykjavík, it took 5 hours to drive to the location of the meeting point. But that was the only bad part of the whole experience. Another 30 minutes in a bus and we were at the ice cave location. You couldn’t see much from the parking spot but other sightseers coming from the cave. The host gave everyone a pair of crampons which made it easy to walk across the terrain. There are several spots where you have to duck your whole body to get through and you have to constantly look up and down so you don’t slip and fall on loose gravel and sizable rocks. Oh the…”

8.Golden Circle and Glacier Ice Cave Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 244 reviews · from $325

Spend 11.5 hours visiting Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss before heading to Langjökull for a snowmobile ride and man-made ice cave visit. You get a local guide, bus transport, ten-language audio commentary, and winter gear. Weather can cancel the glacier activities, so dress warmly and pack lunch.

“If you are traveling to Iceland and want to explore the beautiful nature this country has to offer you need to book this trip. The day is very long and you have to be prepared to walk but the cherpy tour guide keeps you amused throughout the driving time. We got to see the volcano erupting from a distance and watched the sunrise in the national park. Then went on to experience the gizers before heading in a big monster truck to the glacier for snowmobiling. The ice cave is like something you’ve never seen before! We then made our way back to the see the waterfall just before sunset.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 205 reviews · 11 hours · from $301

“The time spent for each location fitted nicely together for the whole trip, but was still enough to immerse in the breathtaking beauties of Iceland’s South coast. The guides on both legs of the tour (Monika from Bus Travel Iceland and Daniel from Gravel) were knowledgeable about the places and had great sense of humor. We were even able to squeeze in 2 extra stops along the way due to the favorable weather and everyone’s punctuality. Overall, highly recommended!”

You’ll see Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach, and Reynisfjara. Guides such as Kuba, Johan, Stefan, and Hjalmar are praised for care and clear local insight.

“This tour was fantastic. Not only did we hit all the stops listed on the tour page, but our driver added several side excursions to break up the long bus ride and to let us experience different parts of the coast. Our guide, Kuba, was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. Additionally, the bus pick-up and drop-off areas were conveniently located to our Airbnbs and the downtown area of Reykjavik. The only minor issue is that the Viator site said that we could rent hiking boots and waterproof pants, but I'm not sure how or where - I guess that's something you'd have to communicate to the tour company in advance, because…”
