All South Iceland Tours & Excursions in 2026

This lagoon is great if you want to get away from the tourist traps. The price is phenomenal by comparison and the pool and changing areas were perfect. We loved it so much we went twice in a row and still paid less than one visit to the other more touristy lagoons!

This was an incredible experience, and I am so glad my husband and I did it despite the weather. Walking on a glacier and learning its history was an amazing experience we will treasure, but it's not an easy activity. You should be comfortable hiking moderate climbs with extra equipment. On a very wet, windy day, we hiked up the glacier. Monique led the hike, and we learned about the glacier, its ash color, and the changes it undergoes during the seasons. Because of the rain and the wind, the hike was a bit rough as we climbed uphill in muddy, wet conditions. The hike is about 8 km, so it can be challenging if you are not used to hiking, especially with the extra equipment (Ice pick, crampons, and a safety harness) that you have to carry. If you've never used crampons, it is a new experience that can be challenging, as it was for me. I ended up falling because we had to put the crampons on before getting on the ice, and I was not used to walking on it. That said, once I was on the glacier I felt very secure in the crampons and walking around.

The location of this cave made it clear ice with black volcanic ash…. It’s beautiful, but it is not the blue ice that you hear about. Nonetheless, the ride out and the incredible stories you hear from your guide make this excellent way to spend your morning or afternoon! It’s pretty impossible to even explain the vastness of these volcanic eruptions, and knowing that some of these happened thousands and thousands of years ago, and yet remain mostly unchanged is something I will never forget!

Black Sand horseback riding was a beautiful experience. There were first time riders in our group as well as experienced riders. It is not an all out “do what you want” ride but rather a group experience. The horses are well cared for and very sweet. You do have an opportunity to experience the Icelandic sokk. Their personalities were unique and the tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful.

Annsophie presented our show and she did a wonderful job of showing us not just the lava, but the history of the area and even the science concerning lava. It was really interesting and it's done in a small group, so everyone can see. While we had seen lava in some cracks at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, we had never seen a larger quantity like this with it flowing. This is the closest most of us are ever to going to get to lava and it's pretty cool, so you should do it.

This was a really fun experience! From the black sand beach, to the crashed plane, to the many streams you get to cross, it lets you see parts of the island you might not have otherwise. All with the beautiful backdrop of the mountains and glaciers. I would definitely recommend wearing their boots if you want to avoid wet feet. We wore our tall waterproof hiking boots which should have been fine, but got water in them anyway. If you wear your own boots, make sure to lift your feet up as high as you can while going through the streams, it will save soaking your socks! I would recommend bringing extra socks and an extra pair of pants since it seemed some of the coveralls were a little leaky and some people's pants got wet. Our guide Hinrik was great - very knowledgeable and entertaining. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Not sure what I expected, but this surpassed everything. From the superjeep ride across the surreal lava field, walking up and across the glacier, and of course walking in through and around some ice caves. The views.are spectacular. The experience is from another world. Highly recommend, despite the steep price.

Floating between North America and Europe im some of the clearest water in the world is every bit as amazing as it sounds. The guides (specifically Nail) were knowled-eeâble, patient, and did a wonderful job helpine everyone feel comfortable in the cold water. The visibility was unbelievable, and seeing the fissure from the surface felt like floating over another world. I may have accidentally consumed a few complimentary mouthfuls of Silfra water while adjusting my mask, and I can confirm it was very fresh. The aquatic plants, however were an unnecessary garnish but still the best 🥰. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. It was one of the most unique adventures I've ever had and a memory I'I treasure for years.
