Perfect Day in Every Way!
What a marvelous day we enjoyed with our guide, Bjarni! The weather was outstanding, the itinerary was packed solid with some of the most captivating wonders in Iceland, and Bjarni's engaging commentary added depth and rich texture to our experiences. The active bubbling, steam, and unexpectedly bright-colored landscape at Deildartunguhver made for a delightful multi-sensory experience. And the friendly resident dogs who greeted us added an extra element of fun. The manmade ice cave was also a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime experience, made all the more special by the kind, helpful staff members. However, the highlight of the day for us was the unique and absolutely breathtaking Hraunfossar lava waterfall! The trail connecting it to neighboring Barnafoss was well-maintained, safe, and afforded a new view of the captivating falls at every twist and turn. The sturdy observation platform and bridge were excellent vantage points from which to photograph both waterfalls and better experience the exciting power of Barnafoss. On the drive back to Reykjavik, Bjarni continued to inform and entertain us with his masterful storytelling (his detailed descriptions of the preparation/consumption of traditional Icelandic delicacies were especially noteworthy) and delighted us by making an unscheduled visit to a hot dog stand, so we could sample the typical Icelandic version for ourselves. This day tour, and Bjarni's role in making it so special, significantly exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend it!
Response from the operator: Thank you. Regards Bjarni

Journey to the center of the earth or glacier!
Bjarni was our guide and he made sure we were ready for a tour that included cold temperatures and winds! It was a fun day and since we had returned from a northern lights tour at 2am we had little time for sleep. Our first stop was at the waterfalls which were like falls we had never seen before. The water was from the glacier and was moving at warp speed! It was beautiful. Then we were on our way to the ice cave. We were prepared for what to expect and after a warm bowl of tomato soup we were fitted for boots and boarded the bus. The trip to the glacier took about an hour and a half and there were markers along the way showing where the glacier was in 1955 1969 and on to today. The glacier has definitely shrunk. The wind and the temperature on the glacier were bone chilling, but once inside the cave there was no wind so things seemed a little warmer. Learning about the glacier and seeing the depth of the ice was fascinating. It gives you lots to think about with global warming. Our trip back to our hotel was made quicker because Bjarni was not only a great guide but also a very talented storyteller! Great tour, exceptional guide
Response from the operator: Thank you. Regards Bjarni

Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $735 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 West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 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 West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 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 Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave 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 Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour?
+
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 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave 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 Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour?
+
Included: Trip in a specially modified glacier truck on Langjokull glacier to the Ice cave and tunne; Comfortable vehicle with Wifi; Certified local driver guide; Private transportation; and Entrance and English speaking guidance in the ice cave and tunnels. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 83 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private West Coast Waterfalls and Ice Cave Tour offered in?
+
