★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 594 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $689Our pick

Review of Iceland’s 2-day Blue Ice Cave and South Coast tour, with waterfalls, glaciers, Diamond Beach, lodging, costs, tips, and cave caveats.

“Our guide Mika was absolutely amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable about Iceland even though he is originally from southern France. On day 1 the weather was not ideal for one of our stops, so he mixed up the itinerary to still give us the chance to see everything. We really appreciated that. Plenty of stops for bathroom and snack breaks. The Blue Ice Cave was unlike any place you could imagine. Definitely do this tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 197 reviews · from $725

Explore Iceland’s waterfalls, black-sand coast, glacier lagoon, and seasonal blue ice cave on a flexible two-day tour from Reykjavik.

“Absolutely Perfect. We lucked out and had the best weather you could ask for. Our group was able to indulge in the northern lights dancing above the night sky and every location we toured was absolutely amazing and well guided. Birkir was our tour guide and was very passionate about Iceland. A geologist and fantastic story teller. He shared the history of each location and loves questions, so be sure to ask about Iceland folk stories! 💞 10 out of 10 experience I wish this app advertised the 5 day tours with the company “NICE Tours” ..I would have absolutely extended from the 2 day tour.Read more”

Review of Troll Expeditions’ 2-day South Coast tour from Reykjavik, with waterfalls, glacier hiking, Jokulsarlon boat trip, lodging, and practical tips.

“I would give five star to this tour for the things they covered-The glacier hike was once in a lifetime experience, the guest house we stayed in near the glacier was awesome, The two waterfalls were great!! Our driver and guide was awesome! Our hiking guide was super great!! The only reason I’m giving three stars is they did not cover the plane wreck which they listed in there advertisement, they did not go to the Vik Village which was listed in their advertisement… that is not being honest”

Review of Iceland’s 2-day South Coast tour with glacier hike, waterfalls, Jökulsárlón boat ride, lodging, and practical booking tips.

“Our trip through South Iceland was nothing short of outstanding. Our guide, David, was one of the best parts of the trip. He was informative, charismatic, and talked about Iceland in a way that gave us an anecdotal look into the country and its people. The ice lagoon was superb - booking the boat tour is a must. This trip was an amazing way to see the country, and I’m very glad we decided on the 2 day trip instead of doing it all in 1. An easy 5 stars!”

I've seen a few reviews complaining about the size of the ice cave, but nothing can compare to the experience once you're inside. Every few feet, the group member I went in with and I stopped to exclaim at the beauty. One of my top experiences!”
