Tour Packed with Experiences
Absolutely fantastic trip. Loads of variety, new experiences and sights. Our guide, Bart, was brilliant, knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour. Good hotels too. Saw loads; very different beaches, lovely waterfalls, icebergs, seals on icebergs (great photo opportunities), etc, etc. Would definitely recommend NiceTravel

Unforgettable Iceland tour
This tour was life changing. We saw so many amazing sites - just looking out the van window while driving was phenomenal. Beaches, waterfalls, ice bergs, glaciers, canyons, volcanoes, seals, rainbows, cows, mountains and even the northern lights. Bart was an amazing tour guide, sharing his knowledge, stories and humour with us as well as adding bonus ice cream stops!! The hotels that were booked by Nice Travel were great and food at hotels and stops along the way was good too. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We could not recommend this highly enough.

Best way to see iceland
Both Sami and Addi were great they both have memorable qualities and we really enjoyed our tours. The sights speak for themselves and Addi even woke us up to see the aurora borealis. All has been great!

Superb 3 day tour
We had an absolutely fantastic 3 day south coast tour. The coach is really comfy and the hotels, eapecially Ork, were great. Our guide, Filip, was a brilliant host. Interesting, funny and very friendly. With a playlist to go along with the tour. The weather on the second day was pretty wet so he changed the stops, finished early (with all of us agreeing) and then started earlier and finished later on day 3. This meant we still got to see and do everything, but in better weather conditions (day 3 was dry). He also went over and above to add in a couple of extra spots for us. I think it will take a long time for the amazement of what we saw and did to wear off. Thank you Nice Travel. It was really a bucket list trip!
Response from the operator: OMG! Thank you for the NICE words!

3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does 3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $969 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 3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 54 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 3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat 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 3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat Tour?
+
Around 19 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat 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 3 Day Tour Jokulsarlon - Golden Circle - South Coast - Glacier Hike - Boat Tour?

Not included: Lunch and Dinner – we make scheduled stops so that guests can buy lunch and dinner during. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
