Private South Coast Fire and Ice: Glacier viewpoint & Lava Show - Reynisfjara shows Iceland’s darker side

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 451 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) Our pick

Review of Hidden Iceland’s private South Coast tour, with waterfalls, black sand, Solheimajokull Glacier, Vik, and a live Lava Show.

“This experience was everything that was promised. Our guide, Estis (I hope I’m spelling her name correctly) was amazing. She was pleasant, professional and full of historical information. She made a long day excursion very enjoyable. And the icing on top of the cake is when she took us to a special coffee shop for coffee and hot chocolate in Vik. Hidden Iceland is amazing and everyone should book with them!”

I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially if you are new to Iceland.”

“Everything was amazing. Our guide was so awesome and helpful and made us feel at ease, not to mention patiently herding us around like kindergartners getting all 5 of us into our gear. I was the only one wearing a westsuit to everyone else’s dry suit and I was kept pretty warm, except my feet. Going in January we were super lucky to not see too many people (well actually we had the whole place to ourselves, and we even had some sun!) I’m sorry I didn’t get our guides name but she was from Poland and so cool! Thanks! This mermaid really enjoyed herself!”
