Highlights
- Reykjavik - Our day tour will begin with our fast and efficient pick up service. We will come to pick you up you from either, one of the hotels in the center of Reykjavik or from one of the many pick up spots dotted across the city. When pick up is completed then we will leave the city and begin our journey along the southern coast of Iceland.
The South coast of Iceland faces the north atlantic ocean and as a result this means that this area often faces the most extreme weather conditions in the country. This has been a major factor contributing to the sculpting of the dramatic landscapes of this area where you will find glaciers, volcanoes, black sand beaches and acres of green lava fields. This contrast leads to extremely variated day tour that gives you bits and pieces of the best that Icelandic nature offers.

Most amazing tour of Iceland ever - Wow. This was an incredible and funny ten hour adventure. I booked this for myself and five friends and Johannes took us on a very personalized tour of Iceland after learning more about our interests. He answered all our questions and even added a stop for a school bus coffee shop. The stops were beautiful and Johannes was flexible with how much time we spent at each location. He had so many fun facts about Iceland. We even came to know about his sister’s music career — she met Bjork!

Favorite Tour - This was my favorite tour while in Iceland! Johannes was very informative and so down to earth. He let us deviate a bit from our itinerary and took us to a school bus cafe in Vik (definitely check out while in Iceland!) I would book a tour with him the next time in Iceland!

I wish it lasted longer! - I am eternally grateful for going on this trip since it was my very first time visiting Iceland and I had no idea what to expect. However, our guide Jóhannes briefed us on Icelandic culture and kept us amused for the whole trip to Vik and other fabulous places which im really thankful for! In Vik I briskly went to Black Crust pizzeria to try a true belter of a pizza. As for such a short time, we were able to tick off all must-see attractions of the south coast and were given enough time to enjoy the experience fully. Highly recommend Jóhannes and will definitely book some of his other tours!

Dont miss out on kvernufoss! - The south coast is the best part of Iceland!
We loved every stop, and the extra stop of kvernufoss which few other operators offer is probably the best stop of them all! There are less tourists there and you are able to take great photos behind the waterfall, the guide was very helpful and even took some photos of our group. So lucky we got to go on this tour on a clear day with a great guide, recommend!

Spectacular frozen waterfalls - It was a cold day, but we managed to embrace it. The frozen seljalandsfoss and skógafoss waterfalls were spectacular, and we were lucky to witness it i this condition.
The tourguide was informative and a great guide.
Overall a great trip and recommended.

My favourite tour of Iceland.. - My favourite tour of Iceland!
The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that she deserves a special thanks. We had two great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience.
The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to be surrounded by such a beautiful and peaceful environment.
Many thanks again and I recommend this tour to everyone!

Great trip … - Great day! The trip was taken at end Dec so we got a whole lot of weather in one day!
Johannes was a great driver, felt safe in the crazy blizzard conditions that came from nowhere.
Waterfalls (even half frozen) were truly spectacular, the beaches were snow covered (but a reason to go back In better weather) …
what a country …. what a trip … book it!
