The car had Wi-Fi and was very comfortable, and our guide Simon was very friendly and funny. The itinerary was packed, but we never felt rushed, with plenty of time to rest and take photos. If you're going to Iceland, you absolutely must join this tour.

It was absolutely a wonderful trip for us. The bus was so comfortable that we did not feel tired though the travelling distance was more than 800km. Geri who was our guide was a wonderful guide. We were able to see the iceberg and other natural heritages of the South Coast. Absolutely amazing!!!!

Jessica was a fantastic guide from Bus Travel Iceland-friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the trip. We were lucky to have sunny weather, which made the views along the road even more stunning. The tour was well organized, everyone stayed on schedule, and the experience was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended when visiting Iceland!

I think this tour you need to be brave to approach the guide on how to tie your crampon and request to wear your safety belt. if you shy or not ask anything, you will feel left out. not sure this tour worth or not. we meet the storm so skip one station, but overall I am satisfy because I make time to take photo for my glacier tour around 1 hour plus, you will go into a small ice cave. I feel a bit sad because stuck in snow storm for 3hour. the guide make effort to drive back to city, he himself take care 15 people's in small van. and lead us do hiking on glacier. pick up and drop at my nearby hotel. I'm a bit skinny, every time need catch up with other because the wind almost blow me away. gear provided:ok

This was one of the best day tours I’ve ever experienced, made truly exceptional by our fantastic guide, Sari. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing informative and fascinating insights throughout the day, while also keeping everything fun and engaging. We learned so much about Iceland and each of the incredible places we visited. Sari was patient, approachable, and had a great sense of humor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The sights were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire day was perfectly organized. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland!

Prepare to be mesmerized by the breathtaking Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, a natural wonder that captivates with its 60-meter cascade from the Seljalands River, fed by the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. What sets this waterfall apart is the exhilarating path that leads you behind the curtain of water, offering an unparalleled view and the refreshing sensation of mist on your skin.

Culture and History

Seljalandsfoss is a breathtaking natural wonder that is deeply intertwined with Iceland's geological history. The waterfall is nourished by the Seljalands River, which originates from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano glacier, a site known for its volcanic activity. In 1976, a flood reshaped the waterfall, creating a crevice in the ridge and altering its spread, adding a historical layer to its allure. This captivating site is a symbol of Iceland's pristine landscapes and holds a special place in the nation's culture and history.
