Additional Information
Embark on a 3-day expedition of the acclaimed Golden Circle and the South Coast Ice Cave Adventure, offering an in-depth exploration of renowned Golden Circle attractions, along with the spectacular South Coast. Included in the itinerary is a visit to the breathtaking Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and a natural ice cave. Simultaneously acting as your guide and mini bus driver, our professional guide transports you to some of Iceland’s most photogenic locations like the Fjadrargljufur Canyon. This adventure guarantees a personal touch by accommodating you in a small group. Your package also includes a two-night stay with breakfast at our select hotels. Transport for pick up and drop off from designated Reykjavik points is also covered.
- What to bring: Warm outdoor clothing, a waterproof jacket and pants, head wear, and gloves. Good hiking shoes are recommended.
- The order of the itinerary might change due to weather conditions. Your guide will have full power to make amendments to the itinerary when necessary.
- Minimum age is 8 years old
- This tour has the flexibility to make the most of the seasonal changes such as changes in weather and conditions. During the summer Iceland is characterized by energizing bright nights and midnight sun. Between August and May, if the forecast is suitable, you might even be able to spot the magical show put on by the Northern Lights. It is important to note that a guided Northern Lights hunt is however not included in the tour. Other wonderful and interesting possibilities can also come up during your south coast tour with us as Iceland is full of surprises.
- We use a couple of different ice caves for our 3 Day Golden Circle & South Coast tour. Ice caves are ever-changing and unpredictable natural phenomena. We usually visit the Crystal Cave at Breiðmerkurjökull during this tour but when the Crystal Cave is inaccessible we will most likely visit Katla Ice Cave. Which ice cave is chosen will however always depend upon the conditions and safety considerations on the day, sometimes a different ice cave will be visited. If conditions do not allow us to visit an ice cave a glacier hike will be offered as an alternative.

The best way to see Iceland! - An amazing itinerary with and equally amazing guide! Hjalti took us to all the best spots and was fun to talk with! He had a lot of great stories and facts and I could tell he really loved his job! If you aren’t adverse to a few moderate difficulty hikes you will get to see some of the best views on the island. As a solo traveler it was also great not having to worry about transportation and hotels. It all came included with the tour! I will remember this trip forever!

3 Day Iceland Tour Arctic Adventures - This was simply one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had. Vjeran was a knowledgeable, friendly, and adventurous tour guide that truly made sure we had the best experience possible, enthusiastically answering questions, sharing anecdotes, and making extra stops along the way when we had time. We got to see SO much of the country in such a short time - and so many places we wouldn’t have known to look for if we were on our own! I’d recommend this tour to anyone looking to have an adventure, see the country in a shorter amount of time, and learn about the landscape from a knowledgeable guide.

10/10 would do again - We were able to see and experience so much in just the 3 days. Our guide Freysteinn had a wealth of knowledge he was enthusiastic to share and we left with a tremendous appreciation for Iceland and its people.

A saga of natural phenomenon - We were blessed with passionate guides who were wells of information and sprinkled flares of humour between locations which brightened up the tour perfectly. I highly recommend this tour and out two guides Gunnar and Diddi.

Take the plunge and go! - I can't say enough about this trip! It was our first time to Iceland and Vjeran made our visit memorable. He was an amazing guide with loads of tips, information and incredible stories. The ice caves were INCREDIBLE - it was worth every minute in the rain and sloppy snow/slush. Even though we got wet to the core, we would do it again in a heartbeat. The glaciers and waterfalls were mezmerizing - Vjeran knew which ones to stop at, how long to stay and even included some "extra" sights because he knew they were worth it, even if they might have been a little off the beaten path.

Incredible Iceland Experience - This tour was amazing! Our tour was led by Vjeran, and he was absolutely a core part of the experience. He kept us on track with all of the listed activities, but whenever we passed a cool spot (and had the time) he went out of his way to stop and provide information about how the spot was formed or why it was so cool/unique!
This was supposed to be a once in a lifetime trip for us, but we fell in love with Iceland so much that we will absolutely be back again in the future! We would be thrilled to book again through Arctic adventures and we would follow Vjeran anywhere!

We saw so much! - Amazing trip. Vjeran was our guide and was passionate about his home country, Iceland. His stories about the landscapes he took us too brought them to life.
Would recommend this three day tour to anyone who wants to visit as much of Iceland as they can.

Big thank you to Björn and Arctic Adventures for an incredible trip! - My partner and I opted in for the 3 day golden circle south coast tour with Bjorn as our guide. If I could give more than 5 stars I most certainly would and this is primarily due to the added pleasant experience adapted by our tour guide. We experienced some unprecedented weather conditions (with Bjorns experienced driving we always felt safe!) which unfortunately didn’t allow us to see some of the items on the itinerary but Bjorn quickly adapted and added some great alternatives! We also didn’t get to see the northern lights but we never felt short of our experience. arctic adventures have a well thought itinerary and we wanted to personally thank Björn for making it even better.

Absolutely the worst vacation that I have ever taken! - The guide, Vjeran was terrific; very knowledgeable about volcanism and Icelandic history. The trip itself was the pits! Driving for hours at a time over the most barren and bleak landscape that I have ever seen in my travels about the world. Quick stops: here's a little waterfall, grab a photo and back on the bus. I would only suggest this trip to my enemies if I had any.
