Private South Coast Fire and Ice: Glacier viewpoint & Lava Show

1.Private South Coast Fire and Ice: Glacier viewpoint & Lava Show

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 451 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) Our pick

Spend about 11 hours with a private English-speaking guide exploring Skogafoss, Reynisfjara, Vik, Solheimajokull Glacier, and Seljalandsfoss. The tour includes a guided glacier-valley walk, a real molten-lava demonstration, hotel pickup in Reykjavik, and a luxury minivan. It is scenic, active, and not a glacier hike.

“During our tour, we enjoyed everything. We happened to see two puffins at the falls. We also saw people hang gliding at the black sand beach. The lava show is very interesting, and we were allowed to take cooled down lava samples home. Robert, the tour guide is extremely friendly and ready to answer your questions.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 343 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $206

Spend about three hours at Iceland’s famous Blue Lagoon, soaking in 98 to 102°F mineral-rich water amid black lava fields. Choose Comfort or Premium entry, then add a shared or private transfer from Reykjavik, a cruise port, Keflavik Airport, or selected accommodations.

“Highly recommend taking your own water shoes and getting the premium ticket. Go early and leave early to avoid the crowds. The buses back to the city start leaving around 1pm be at the pick up location with 10 to 14 before departure. The facility has shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and hairdryer. I decorating your own face moisturiser and other necessary toiletries. The food there is very expensive so be prepared to pay more for basic food items. If you can I would recommend eating somewhere else if you are traveling on a budget. You are not allowed to be in the lagoon area without a bathing suit.”

“This was a magnificent experience. Driver picked me up right on time. Everyone at Sky Lagoon was so friendly and helpful. You received private changing/shower accommodations and a locker - plenty of towels and everything very clean. If you want to keep your phone, I recommend you purchase the waterproof phone case they have on site for purchase. The views were incredible and the seven step ritual very relaxing. The sauna overlooks the water through a wall of glass. The swim up bar had ample offerings and they have a restaurant/bar/cafe on the inside of the premises. A different experience than the blue lagoon, both great in their own way.…”
