Laura was a friendly guide
Laura was a great guide for hiking the glacier. She had a positive demeanor and made sure everyone remained safe throughout the hike. She told us a lot of interesting facts about the area and glacier

Good tour. Poor execution
Upon departure we waited 30 minutes extra for one single person , which then led us to be shorted at each stop “to make up time “

The tour is amazing. Our...
The tour is amazing. Our guide Bjorn is very nice and knowledgeable about the nature of Iceland. As we were hiking, the hiking guide was also nice and humorous which added a lot fun to the hike. Someone fell during the hike and the guides provided first aid immediately and assisted the participant to finish the hike. Everyone in Iceland is so nice!! I definitely recommend this tour to anyone else who is interested in glacier hiking!

Amazing Tour - A True Highlight
The Troll Tour glacier hike and South Coast small‑group tour was incredible. The glacier hike was truly phenomenal and such a memorable learning experience. Bjorn, our driver‑guide, kept us on time, kept us laughing, and showed us amazing sights like the waterfalls and the black sand beach. I learned so much about Iceland and loved every minute. Highly recommend a tour with Bjorn and the Troll staff as hike guides.

Why this scores 84

Glacier Hike and South Coast Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Glacier Hike and South Coast Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $201 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 Glacier Hike and South Coast Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Glacier Hike and South Coast Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 864 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Glacier Hike and South Coast Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik?
+
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 Glacier Hike and South Coast Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Glacier Hike and South Coast Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik?
+
Around 302 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Glacier Hike and South Coast Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik 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, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. 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.
