Glacier lagoon cannot be missed - This is a long full day tour with lots of time on the bus, but it is so worth it to see the Glacier Lagoon. Taking a boat through the icebergs is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience and wonderful tour guide Dennis - The waterfall is very nice. Glacier Lagoon is very pretty. The boat ride in Glacier Lagoon is a must. A different yet very satisfying and amazing experience than seeing them on land. Our tour guide Dennis is wonderful. He explains a lot and is very enthusiastic on all the attractions he brought us to. Makes the whole bus ride and the tour much more lively and enjoyable.

Day full of experiences - Our guide Runar was excellent! He was very personable and friendly. A proud Icelander with lots of knowledge. Our driver Peter was very safe. He delivered a nice smooth ride. This is a very full day. 14 hours. Well worth every minute. The glaciers, waterfalls and countryside are all breathtaking. Do yourself a favor and take this tour.

Amazing South Coast Tour with Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach, Moss covered Lava fields,Turf Church and one of the waterfa - Our tour was ver long but so worth it and we didn’t even get tired at all. We got picked up before 730 and didn’t get back till 1030 but it was all so amazing! It was an unforgettable experience and it was mostly thanks to our outstanding tour guide Runar and our very capable driver Peter. We learned so much from Runar who was a fountain of information. Everything went smoothly from all our stops to all our meals. I would highly recommend this tour company and would use it again given the opportunity. If you read this, Runar and Peter, our deepest gratitude for an unforgettable excursion.

Great tour with a great agency. - Great tour with a great agency. Everything was perfect: the pick-up, the comfort of the bus, and the expertise of the guide. Although weather conditions did not allow us to reach the glacier lagoon, the contingency plan provided us with the opportunity to explore the South Coast in detail, and, above all, reminded me of why I chose Bus Travel Iceland among the many tour agencies in Iceland. I fully agree with the decision made by our guide, as safety should always come first

Jökulsárlón Lake: Tour from Reykjavik with Boat Ride - BusTravel Island confirms itself as an absolute guarantee for excursions in Iceland. We stayed in August and returned at the end of October and the excursion to Lake Jökulsárlón was absolutely the most beautiful experience! Fantastic Monica, an affable, prepared, witty and engaging person who made our wedding anniversary unforgettable! He didn't miss an opportunity to give the whole group several extras, including the most important, asking Tomak (fantastic driver) to pull over on the way back to watch the Northern Lights! Thanks again to Monica super, super guide! Absolutely recommended tour! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tour on 10.31.2023 Massimo and Alessandra Palermo / Italy 🇮🇹

Amazing day trip with top guide! - This tour took us to fascinating landscapes, waterfalls, beaches and glaciers on Iceland's south coast. The tour was perfectly organised. The long driving time was made very entertaining and enjoyable by great stops and especially by the competent, friendly and entertaining manner of our tour guide Jóna. A really highly recommendable tour on which you learn a lot of interesting facts about the country and its people! Had a great time and would book again and again! :-)
