    Awesome experience of the Icelnd’s beautiful south coast from waterfalls, walk on the glacier, to the black sand beach!

    Thomas was an awesome guide who took us to all the “don’t miss” locations of Iceland’s south coast! He was very knowledgeable about the history and ecology of Iceland which was a definite plus! He tok us out to walk the Sólheimajökulll glacier and we felt completely safe and was such a personal tour (and not bunched up with 20 other hikers). It was certainly the highlight of our tour. And unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend if you want to have that customized and personal experience touring Iceland without being rushed and herded onto a charter bus!

    A Private Tour that made my daughter a Perfect Day!

    Thomas our guide was fantastic. His knowledge of the glaciers and volcanoes was quite extensive. He was energetic, interactive and social. He told us about the history and culture of the places we visited in perfect detail. He adapted the tour to fit our wants and he went way out of his way to make sure we had the best day. My daughter went as far as calling it a perfect day. Waterfalls, glaciers, black beaches, he knew them all and showed us those that, though not as famous, were sometimes even better than the advertised ones. We even stopped off for ice cream I highly recommend them and when we go back, we will only use this company. I cannot say enough positive things about EV Travel!

    Adventurous and unique

    This was the most amazing Glacier Hike. Thomas made it perfect with adventure we were excited about! He had all the safety equipment and truly catered to our needs and wants! The sites after the hike were awesome. This was so well thought out as far as timing of our entire day!

    BEST Spring Break Trip Ever!

    We had a wonderful experience with Thomas and EV Travel. Not only was the communication prior to our arrival both prompt and professional but our experience in Iceland was superb. We booked multiple tours over the course of our stay directly with EV Travel. (The drop-down menu will only let me select one but we loved each tour we went on with EV Travel). Booking all excursions direclty with Thomas and EV Travel allowed us to be flexible with the tours to capitalize on changing weather conditions. I was traveling with my kids (ages 17, 16, 14 and 10) and truly appreciated the ease of pick-ups/drop-offs each day. Thomas was very knowledgeable and answered my children's many questions with grace and patience. They learned a lot during our week in Iceland about glaciers, volcanos, Icelandic history and culture. We all agreed it was probably the best vacation we have taken together. We are so appreciative that Thomas and EV Travel helped us plan and execute this once-in-a-lifetime trip.

    Private South Coast Tour With Optional Glacier Hike in Iceland: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private South Coast Tour With Optional Glacier Hike in Iceland cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1668 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 Private South Coast Tour With Optional Glacier Hike in Iceland take?

    +

    Plan for about 10.5 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 Private South Coast Tour With Optional Glacier Hike in Iceland worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private South Coast Tour With Optional Glacier Hike in Iceland?

    +

    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 Private South Coast Tour With Optional Glacier Hike in Iceland suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private South Coast Tour With Optional Glacier Hike in Iceland?

    +

    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 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private South Coast Tour With Optional Glacier Hike in Iceland 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.
