Beautiful Scenery
Tiara_A
, Sep 2021
My tour was led by Matt and Karl and it was an amazing experience. All the stops were great and the scenery during the drive there was breathtaking. It is a long day (at least 14 hours) but Matt and Karl made sure we had a great time even in between stops. I felt like I covered so much of Iceland in one day while also being able to sit back and get the relaxation that I needed.

Absolute highlight of my trip to Iceland
Dominika_K
, Sep 2021
This was an absolute highlight of my trip to Iceland. Exceeded all of my expectations! Very knowledgeable guide with a complicated Icelandic name starting with G and a very friendly, professional driver Maciek made the experience super enjoyable. Although a long journey, frequent breaks and stops to admire the best of Icelandic wonders made the trip go too quickly 😊 Glacial Lagoon is just gorgeous, I'd recommend getting the boat whilst you're there. Highly recommended, thank you xxx

We only took part of the trip: the Boat trip at the lagoon. The place is amazing (obviously), but I didn't like the boat trip very much. We were 20 people on the boat (plus employees), so we did not have any space to move or to see it peacefully. The tour was about 15-20 minutes. Honestly, I wouldn't pay for the trip. I'd rather walk around the lagoon.

awe-inspiring and fun

This tour was exceptional. The beauty and spaciousness of the landscape opening up to the majesty of the Glacier Lagoon, and the wonderful strangeness of Diamond Beach. I would do this tour again. Bravo to the bus driver (it was a long long day!) and our tour guide: funny, always available, informative.

Waterfalls, black sand beaches, diamond beaches, and blue glaciers with the dream team
Carrie_B
, Jun 2021
There’s a reason they call them the “Dream Team.” The trip started bright and early took us into another world for about 14 hours. Waterfalls, black sand beaches, diamond beaches, and the glaciers. Simon, the guide, was particularly amazing at timing each part of the journey, giving us more time when we needed it or moving us on. There were parts of this trip that would not have been the same without his wisdom. Knowing what to buy: pancakes; knowing what to wear and when. Originally, I did not buy the boat ticket. Again, Simon gave a great metaphor that made me realize how stupid I was not to go on the water. He took care to ask where the people in the group were from to interact with us better. The timing was perfect for this trip and as a bonus we saw puffins in Vik. Dreamy.

Amazing experience
Nina
, Jun 2021
Excellente day trip with our guide Mr Howser from Bustravel Iceland. We were bathing in Icelandic history and Sagas while driving through a beautiful landscape with stops at gullfoss and other waterfalls. Jokulsarlon is an amazing and unique place, what ever the weather might reserve you. And so is diamond beach. I highly recommend this trip.

Icebergs
Susanne_F
, Jul 2020
Another must-do in the land of fire and ice is to see the icebergs floating in Jökulsárlón, maybe a seal swimming or just laying on the ice too and then have a walk on the diamond beach where the contrast of shining pieces of ice glittering on the black sand of the beach will give You some of the best foto opportunities.

Great ride. With lots of stops for review photos. Waterfalls, lava fields, cozy places in the mountains. Well, of course, the Ice Lagoon itself. It is fantastic ! Special thanks to the guide and driver of our trip, Howser. He loves his job and is happy to share his knowledge. You will not regret if you choose this trip. Because the impressions with you will remain for life. And you, I'm sure. fall in love with this country. Vika

The glacier lagoon
lmichalos
, Jan 2020
I listened to the others reviews saying what you see on this tour in unlike anything you’ve ever seen - and they’re right - the glacier lagoon was incredible. However the tour itself was just “meh.” Our tour guide was nice, but constantly repeated the same fact 3, 4 times in a row. It was a long drive one the bus just to see the glacier lagoon. If i had to do it over again I would have gone in a small group or a Jeep. The other tours we did were small groups and we were able to make more stops along the way. This was way too structured for my liking. But if that’s your thing, go for it!
