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!

Superb lagoon. Pity about the coach!
mark b
, Dec 2019
The lagoon and the stops on the way were superb, but all this was spoiled by an unbearably hot coach, making for a very, very uncomfortable 10 hour drive. The party on this trip was mainly Asian and apparently the tour staff said they have to keep the heating on for them! Which left the minority of European and USA travellers in melt down. Would recommend the trip if the coaches are not kept like a furnace. I did not think I would be coming to Iceland and be so hot!

Wonder Tour
DaGuai2010
, Dec 2019
We spent a wonderful day with Bustravel Iceland (booked through Viator) for this Glacier Lagoon tour. The pickup was right on time. Our bus driver and tour guide, Heigi, was well organized and experienced and made our long bus ride very comfortable. In mid November daylight was short. Heigi tried to make as many stops as possible for us to take breathtaking photos while getting us into the Glacier Lagoon in time. The views of the Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach were surreal and unbelievable and we enjoyed our tour very much. I would recommend this bus tour service whilst in Iceland.

We loved this tour. Yes, you get up early - but it's worth every second and every penny. The sites you will see are incredible and unlike anywhere else. Our guide was very good - he did talk a bit too much on the way back and wouldn't let us rest (when it was dark and you couldn't see anything anyway) - but otherwise, his knowledge of Iceland was wonderful and he did all he could to make our experience memorable. Tip: sit on the left side of the bus if you can - someone else wrote that and I took that advice and I'm so glad! Also, don't worry about the the time of year you take this tour - your experience will be unique. Even with little daylight, you can still cover so much. Some in other reviews wrote that the shops and foods were nothing to write home about. Well, you're in the middle of Iceland, not New York City - - and just come prepared. Bring snacks or there's plenty at the places you stop at. Ample time to use the washroom and stretch your legs, too. It's a long trip - but as someone else wrote - Just do it!! We're so glad we did!!
