    Christina made our Iceland trip absolutely magical!

    Iceland is absolutely gorgeous in its own right, but having the right tour guide is an absolute game changer. Christina was incredible!! Knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny, and absolutely showed us the experience. She would tell us great places to eat, and great advice for all our tour stops. She was kind and energetic and she is one of our favorite highlights from our trip. I cannot shower her with enough flowers, except to let you know if you miss out on Christina, you’re missing out on an amazing trip.

    The absolute best tour guide in Iceland!

    I had the most wonderful experience on the 2-day South Coast tour (Oct 2–3) with Christina. She is hands down the best guide I’ve had in Iceland! Christina is exceptionally kind, patient, and sweet. Throughout every single activity, she was incredibly thoughtful and supportive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. Her deep knowledge and passion for the country are unmatched—having Christina as your guide really feels like having the ultimate key to everything Iceland has to offer. Thank you, Christina, for making this trip truly unforgettable! Highly, highly recommended!

    Unforgettable Journey

    This tour was an absolute 10/10 from start to finish, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Every single sightseeing spot on the itinerary was breathtaking—truly stunning views at every turn. What really set this experience apart, though, was the incredible guides. Our main tour guide, Henrik, was simply fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the absolute best experience at every location, anticipating what we needed and bringing so much great energy to the trip. When it came time for the glacier portion, we were handed off to Thomas, who was equally phenomenal. He took us to explore some incredible spots, including guiding us safely inside a glacier hole using harnesses and ropes. His expertise and helpful attitude made what could have been an intimidating activity feel safe, thrilling, and completely unforgettable. If you are on the fence about booking this tour, don't hesitate—it is worth every penny!

    2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does 2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $559 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 205 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour?

    +

    Around 72 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2-Day South Coast w/Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon - Small Group Tour?

    +

    Included: English-speaking Guide; Free Wi-Fi & USB chargers on the bus; Pick-up and drop-off; Breakfast; and Boat tour on the glacier lagoon (if option selected).
