Great experience
I went with Gidjon Jes and Maggi K Gidjon was the guide and Maggi was the driver.....both were excellent! Gidjon was telling us about the history and geography of Iceland. He also had stories about many things....he was very humerus and knowledgeable! It was sweet that both of them helped another tour bus that had problems get fixed...in the pouring rain! I find that true of all the Icelanders I have meet....they are so willing to be helpful!
Response from the operator: Dear Aine, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Gidjon and Maggi made your tour such a memorable experience with their knowledge, humour, and helpfulness. It’s lovely to hear that their kindness stood out, even in the pouring rain! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with them both. 😊 Warm regards, Patricia

An excursion to do! Only ~45min by bus from Reykjavik, you will be completely transported. And Konstantinos, our driver/guide was great!

Reykjaböð Hot Springs
This was one of my favorite hot spring/lagoon experiences of all time. Our guide, Konstantinos, was genuinely excited about it being the first week of this location being open. He pointed out some local highlights on the drive and gave fun facts and made sure we didn’t miss out on any features like the dining or sauna.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Reykjaböð became one of your favorite hot spring experiences! It's especially lovely that Konstantinos' genuine excitement about the newly opened location added to the day, along with his local insights and helpful tips to make sure you experienced everything on offer. We'll be very happy to pass your kind words along to Konstantinos. Thank you for choosing to travel with us! Kind regards, Inga

South Coast and Reykjaböð Hot Springs Tour from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does South Coast and Reykjaböð Hot Springs Tour from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $238 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 South Coast and Reykjaböð Hot Springs Tour from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 13.5 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 South Coast and Reykjaböð Hot Springs Tour from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 South Coast and Reykjaböð Hot Springs 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 South Coast and Reykjaböð Hot Springs Tour from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book South Coast and Reykjaböð Hot Springs Tour from Reykjavik?
+
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 13.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does South Coast and Reykjaböð Hot Springs 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, 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.
