Vik Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Other worldly! What a great experience. Our guide was fantastic. Not only did he show us the ice cave but he explained everything about them and how they form. He gave us history of the area, walked us around the foot of the glacier, and drove us to a scenic overlook where we were able to get some amazing views. He wrapped up the tour by driving us along the beach on the way back to town.

This was a highlight of our trip and even though I have had limited exposure to horses and I’m in my late 50’s I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt that the instructions and guides were amazing

We did this hike with an excellent guide. Denis Rosa led the way up the glacier and we saw some pretty incredible things. The glacier was uncrowded and we had a small group which was really special. Highly recommend recommended.

Had an amazing time our favorite part of our trip so far! Hinrik our guide was great, we highly recommend

Our second trip to the caves. We were here in the winter and it was crazy cold! September gave us windy and rainy. Family loved it! I was a bit terrified but did it anyway. Not for the faint of heart.

The young woman who were our guides did an excellent job.

The Solheimajokull Glacier Hike was one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. We were lucky enough to have phenomenal weather, and our tour guide Franco truly went out of his way to make our experience unique and memorable! My friends and I all agreed the four hour trip was the perfect amount of time to experience the glacier, ask lots of questions, enjoy the hike, and take photos without feeling rushed. Our group was 13 people, which was a fantastic size to still get one-on-one time and ask plenty of questions without feeling lost in the crowd. The hike itself still felt like a good workout, so make sure you are ready for a steep incline/descent. I absolutely would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland as it was truly unique and one of the highlights of our trip! Shoutout Franco for being such an incredible guide and making our trip so memorable!

We had a wonderful experience with Katla Track! Inês is an extremely kind and communicative guide. She’s also very knowledgeable about the glacier and volcanic environments.

It was an amazing and memorable trip to Iceland. The day trip to the diamond beach and glacier with the boat ride is definitely a must do! Our guide was Lina , she was our guide for the entire trip including airport transfers. She is very prompt in communication so it was very easy to connect with her on WhatsApp before we even landed in Reykjavik. She was very knowledgeable and narrated the significance and importance of each and every single site we visited. She was also very flexible and took us to some additional attractions as she drove us to the attractions

I cannot say enough about what an amazing trip this was. We were blessed with an incredible tour guide, Jon. He made the experience something neither my son or myself will ever forget.

We had a great time on the tour. Our guide Jagoda shared lots of info on Iceland, including thoughts about food and snacks. She also made adjustments to planned stops, so that we could see certain sites at the best times and made some bonus stops along the way to take in the scenery. I liked that she seemed to enjoyed seeing all the sites herself, even though it was probably the hundredth time she has been there. The transportation was roomy enough, with 10 people in a vehicle with around 16 seats in the back, although the empty seats were mostly stacked with bags.The Glacier hike and boat tour on the Glacier Lagoon were definitely the highlights. On the Glacier hike, I really like how she made sure everyone was properly equipped and also using the equipment properly.Regarding pickup, given the big window of 30-40 min, I'd recommend letting people know in advance how many stops there will be that morning and where they are in the order. Even better, it would be great if text updates could be given (e.g., pickup one done, on my way to number 2). We were the last ones to be picked up, so we were wondering at the end whether we were forgotten.

Very nice experience and magnificent views of the black sand beach, from the plane A lot of fun

Beaty was a fabulous guide! She was incredibly informative and so friendly. We had a blast getting to see the glacier and experiencing it first-hand, all the while getting to learn all about its history. Would recommend to anyone visiting Iceland!

Great guides and really fun adventure while taking in beautiful scenery!

Our guide Fricky was great...friendly, warm, very experienced...really made our trip! The truck ride was about 45 minutes there, of which 15 minutes on the highway and the rest on gravel road towards the glacier. We went to 2 caves (one small and one medium); each experience is different as the glacier is always changing. Once you get there, there are a LOT of tours and people all waiting to get in and out of the caves and you have to "queue". I would say easily over 100 people and 10 tour groups all there at the same time. Our group only had 9 people, but other tours had more like 15-20 people who would take a long time on the paths. I would rate the trip itself more like a 3 or 4 star due to the sheer volume of people, but since we had SouthCoast adventures and Fricky our awesome guide...I am giving this 5 stars because of him. Thanks Fricky!

We had a great experience with Michal on the Sólheimajökull glacier tour! We chose a private tour because my youngest is 7 and was not old enough to join up with the larger tours.It was a challenging weather day, but he kept us safe and led a wonderful tour! We loved the experience. It was one of the best things we did on our trip to Iceland!
