The Viking Story Night at Efri-Úlfsstaðir is unlike anything else on the South Coast. A candlelit saga barn, a local storyteller, Icelandic horses, and a tasting of shark, dried fish, and smoked lamb. Not a show. A gathering on a working farm that sits on the land of Brennu-Njáls Saga. Starts at noon. No early alarm, no rushed breakfast, no pre-dawn departure. The South Coast in the afternoon light, the Viking farm in the evening dark. Gljúfrabúi - the hidden waterfall most South Coast tours miss. Inside a narrow gorge, a few minutes from Seljalandsfoss. Most visitors walk straight past it. Walk behind Seljalandsfoss. One of the rare places in the world where a path leads directly behind the falling curtain of water. Entirely private. Your guide and vehicle belong to your group alone for the full day and evening. No shared passengers, no fixed pace. Private sedan for 1-3 or private minivan for 4-8. Right-sized vehicle, exclusively yours from noon until return.

Ice Cave by Katla Volcano Super Jeep Tour from Vik

Jeanette_G, Jun 2026

Exploring the ice caves...

Exploring the ice caves on the glacier on an active volcano was a once in a lifetime experience! Hawk, our tour guide, was great! He was very knowledgeable about volcanoes and ice caves and took the time to answer questions so everyone left with a better understanding of both. Fantastic tour!

Katla Volcano Ice Cave - Super Jeep Tour from Vik

Jenny_A, Jun 2026

Unforgettable Katla Cave

The Katla Ice Cave tour was one of the most magical experiences of my entire Iceland trip. The landscape itself was incredible—standing inside a natural ice cave, it felt like stepping into another world. Every turn revealed something new, from the textures and colors of the ice to the dramatic glacier scenery surrounding us. What made the experience truly unforgettable, however, was our guide, Helgi. He was knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and clearly passionate about Iceland's glaciers and natural history. He had a wonderful way of making everyone feel comfortable while also sharing fascinating information throughout the tour. One of my favorite memories was when he helped us create glacier rainbows in the ice. It was such a simple but beautiful moment that perfectly captured the wonder of the experience. Those little moments are what transform a great tour into an unforgettable one. Helgi's enthusiasm, sense of humor, and genuine love for what he does made the tour even more special. By the end, it felt less like following a guide and more like exploring with someone who was excited to share one of Iceland's greatest treasures. And I definitely recommend you try the water. Thank you for an amazing adventure. Of all the incredible things I experienced in Iceland, the Katla Ice Cave remains one of the memories I find myself smiling about most.

Thorsmork Super Jeep

Joyce_O, Jun 2026

The most magical day!

This tour far exceeded our expectations! We visited 5 beautiful locations and each one was better than the last. We absolutely loved getting to see places we wouldn’t have been able to experience without a super jeep and a guide! Thorsmork is beyond beautiful. The guide Simeon was wonderful - kind, knowledgeable and took great care of us. Lunch boxes (ordered separately from Midgard) were delicious and we highly recommend. We also had a great dinner at the base camp after the tour!

The cave was so cool, our...

The cave was so cool, our guide was really knowledgeable and having a moment to sit in the darkness without the lights was so trippy but fun. Then going to the silfra fissure snorkeling was amazing, the water is so clear, and having hot cocoa with marshmallows after hit the spot!

Katla Ice Cave Tour from Vik Small-Group Guided Adventure

Petrus_D, May 2026

Definitely do it if the opportunity arises.

We were out and about with guide David for 3 hours. He told us a lot about the culture and customs of Iceland. Upon arriving at the ice cave, the formation and disappearance of the ice caves were clearly explained to us. It was a fun and interesting excursion, well worth it.

BEST Glacier Hike Tour in Iceland! 10/10

His instructions and information were very clear and we learned a lot from him. It was perfect 10/10 experience. Can’t imagine it being any better. This was one for the record books. Would definitely recommend!

Quad Bike Tour on Black Lava Sands from Mýrdalur

sue_G, Apr 2026

Not to be Missed!!

This was Fabulous! Our family loved every minute of riding ATV’s across the Black Sand Beach & over river crossings! We even got to see the old US dc3 plane relic left on the beach and learned about its history! Teen Boys loved it as did my husband! I was the princess backseat rider and enjoyed it all so much. Highly recommend!

Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss

Emily_W, Mar 2026

Amazing trip!

The trip was incredible and I really enjoyed the whole experience! Our original time got cancelled due to weather warnings but the team were very helpful at resolving this and offering the earlier slot. We did get stuck out in the snow for a while but this was bound to happen with the weather conditions and we all got back safely and only around an hour and a half later than expected.

Lava Show Vik Admission Ticket

Leslie_T, Feb 2026

Land of Fire and Ice

Lava show in Vik (guided by Luis) introduced us to volcano science and Katla geopark. It was a nice way to learn a little about the area and its relationship/history with the volcano. We were going to explore the Katla geopark/glacier the following day, so the show gave me more appreciation for the landscape, the history, and the residents. Plus it was nice to sit back, share a beer during the show and remove some layers due to the rising heat of the room. (And the soup next door is pretty tasty too).

Private Golden Circle Tour by Luxury SUV from Reykjavik

Theresa_P, Jan 2026

Amazing private Golden Circle Tour

Our group of six had an amazing time on our private Golden Circle tour with BR Tours, booked through Viator. Every stop on the tour had the most incredible stunning sights. Our driver/tour guide Siggi was very informative, accommodating & friendly as well as an excellent, safe driver. Siggi never rushed us. We were able to tour all sights at our own pace. We also had a wonderful relaxing lunch at the cute and cozy tomato/ horse farm. Jon from BR Tours was my initial contact and responded to all questions without delay. Jon actually met up with us at the waterfall area of the tour to provide our group with crampons so that we could safely walk on the icy pathways. We really appreciated BR Tours going above & beyond which made for a most memorable experience.

Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike & Ice Climbing Intro - Small Group

Shady_D, Dec 2025

Truly amazing!

Truly amazing experience! Did you know that far less then 1% of individuals experience this in the whole world?!? That’s crazy! The guide is very knowledgeable about how the glaciers have receded in years past, how to keep you safest and also making sure you are comfortable learning the process. As my tour bus driver said though “watch out for snow snakes, they aren’t like normal snakes…they tend to be your buddy Allen who throws a snowball at you.” What a truly great time! Activity level wise not as hard as I thought but you will be hiking a bit along with using your leg muscles, back and arms a bit. You will be sore the next day if you are a wimp like me 😂

Puffin and Volcano Tour with Ebbi

Minkwan_K, Aug 2025

100% Good chance to watch puffins

I was not sure to watch puffins because it was already mid August and heard that there was little chance to watch them in main Island. However we really enjoyed to watch many many number of them in Heimaey Island. Of course it is also good chance to know history and challenge of Heimaey Island. Ebbi provided good explanation of the island.
