Things to do in Kerid Crater

An indescribably wonderful trip and the best day tour I have ever taken. First of all, the bus tour guide himself had white hair and wore a traditional Icelandic patterned wool sweater, looking like a Viking stepped right into reality and instantly creating a strong sense of immersion. Along the way, we saw the magnificent daytime waterfall shining brightly under the brilliant sunshine. When taking the boat tour of the glacier lagoon, the captain gave each of us a piece of transparent, thousand-year-old iceberg to hold for photos. The apocalyptic feel of Diamond Beach was then brought to life with a ray of bright sunshine. We enjoyed delicious volcanic rock black pizza and endless refills of soup in a bread bowl in the town of Vik. We saw the Seljalandsfoss waterfall at night, surrounded by stars and the aurora borealis amidst the mountains—a rare and wonderful experience in a lifetime. On the way back, we were very lucky to encounter a major aurora outburst. The guide said that according to the rules, he was supposed to return the bus on time without stopping, but he felt we shouldn't miss such a gorgeous aurora, so he decided to take the risk to give us a lucky moment! He finally found a super viewing platform, and we all stopped to capture the most stunning night of the northern lights. It was an extremely memorable journey. Plus, there was free Wi-Fi throughout the entire trip, and the heating was so warm that wearing just a single sweater inside the bus was more than enough. The guide not only introduced every attraction to us, but before parting ways, he also shared his favorite local itinerary as an Icelandic native, including municipal hot springs, sculpture art, and the whale museum, among others. All in all, it was a perfect journey combining nature and culture, entirely deserving of a full score. If you are staying in Reykjavik, taking a tour like this means you won't miss a thing on the South Coast.

Great trip! Our guide was a retired Icelandic man who is very knowledgeable. I have brought some snacks with me and decided to skip the dine-in lunch. The guide arranged me to take a scenic hike trail around the town of Arnarstapi. Highly recommended!

Faxafoss was a nice surprise, a smaller waterfall with almost no crowds, and a good spot for photos. Our guide knew all the quiet stops. Great day trip from Reykjavik.

relaxing day trip. Guide (lady) was friendly and accomodating, answered all our questions and added stops when we had time!

Skógafoss & Seljalandsfoss Waterfalls 🌈 Freezing cold, howling wind, and pouring rain. Witnessed the natural beauty of light refraction. Caught a rainbow at both! 🌈 ReynisfjaraBlackSandBeach The conditions at Reynisfjara were awful, and despite keeping my distance, I actually got dragged in by a sneaker wave. In that exact moment, I thought, 'If I die right now, at least my family gets 12 million in insurance.' #CloseUpGlacier Looking closely at the glacier, it's far from the ordinary white I know. Instead, it's a natural white with light refractions, mesmerizing from every single angle.🌟 #

Our guide (Ari? I am not sure the spelling) but he was awesome! Gave us detailed introductions to the sites and also Icelandic history as we drove to each location. He answered questions and shared funny stories. I like that he shared some of the views of Icelandic people. It’s a good tour for solo travelers

We were suddenly notified the day before that our Chinese-speaking tour was changed to an English-speaking tour. We hope that if there are any changes to the itinerary, we can be informed a bit earlier so we can evaluate alternative plans. Everyone was told to arrive at the meeting point half an hour early to wait for the bus, but the bus arrived later than the scheduled meeting time, and there was no proactive notification, which made the participants anxious. Other than that, everything else was quite good, and some of Iceland's scenery is truly magnificent and beautiful!

Guide Skarp is wonderful. Throughout the entire tour, he didn't stop explaining—from details about the passing villages to thorough explanations of each point of interest. Also, thank you for checking in on me when I was by myself. Even though it was a very large group, it was a fun and enjoyable experience. Even if you aren't fluent in English, if you record and use translation tools or GPT, you will understand 100% (even the jokes). Just keep in mind that the Secret Lagoon is an older place, so try to overlook its flaws haha.

This day tour combined the two most popular sites—the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon in one day. The price add-on for the Blue Lagoon is actually cheaper than arranging the transfer from the airport or Rekyjavik and entrance by myself. Maybe less exciting than the South Coast or Snaefellness Peninsula, but a good introduction to Iceland. I am glad that I did it on my first day out of Rekyjavik.
