    Otto the Viking and an incredible trip!

    Our trip through Iceland was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to Otto the Viking. From the waterfalls and glaciers to the breathtaking landscapes in between, every day felt like something out of a postcard. Otto was a fantastic guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland, its history, culture and landscape, but what really made the experience special was his personality. He was authentic, funny, engaging and made the entire group feel comfortable from the start. He had a great way of sharing information without ever making it feel like a lecture, and his humor kept us entertained throughout the trip. Iceland itself is spectacular, but having the right guide can completely change the experience. Otto made an already amazing trip truly memorable. Our entire group had a wonderful time, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone visiting Iceland. If you have the opportunity to tour Iceland with Otto the Viking, do it. You won’t regret it.

    2 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3,800 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 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike 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 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike?

    +

    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 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike 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 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike?

    +

    Around 1 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 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike 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 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike?

    +

    Included: Safety Equipment; and Tour Guide. Not included: food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 2 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 2 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 2 Days Iceland Aurora and Golden Circle South Coast Glacier Hike if the weather is bad?

    +
