Witnessing real molten lava at the Icelandic Lava Show, where the heat of the earth’s core is brought to life in a mesmerizing display.

“Dramatic and unforgettable landscapes - Amazing trip. Picked up on time, luxury mini bus and taken off to see the magical landscape of the South. Our guide Atley was fantastic and seemed to enjoy it as well. It’s a long drive to Vik to start but then everything is on the way back and day flew by. Lava show was fun, albeit wife having nightmares about Ketla going up. The curry fish soup was unbelievable! And then the landscape…so dramatic and unforgettable. Walk around the waterfall….you don’t get that wet! 😂Thank you.” - Reviewed at 2024-09-23

“Wonderful day! - Booked our tour with South Coast Summer Day Tours, because I wanted a small group, turned out to just being the two of us. Company messaged me to see if a small vehicle would be ok, I said fine with us. Antone our driver picked us up at the hotel at 8 right on time. He was very nice, asked if we needed to be back at a certain time for dinner reservations, which I thought was very considerate. He was very informative, and funny, we had a great day. Being just the two of us, it was perfect, and catered to our needs.A stop for coffee, bathroom break if needed, and lunch in Vik which was excellent. I had looked at a lot of tour companies, and I’m very happy I chose South Coast Summer Day Tours! Thank you Antone for a great day!
