My husband and I were so excited for this tour and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our driver/guide extraordinaire Jakob was so skilled and informative, he made the day so enjoyable. The drive in our super jeep across the highlands was an experience we will never forget, and we felt so safe with Jakob! We lucked out and had beautiful weather, enjoyed our hike and breathtaking views from the top. Our hike was around 45 min because of the time of year, but we loved every minute. Jakob also made lots of stops at waterfalls, caverns, etc. our photos don't do the scenery justice. Thank you for an unforgettable day Jakob!

My partner and I picked this trip out of the blue and had a fantastic time. Our guide Piggi was great, very knowledgable about the area but more importantly was passionate about the land and the special areas that he took us to. We felt honoured to have a local guide share what was so special to him, and as a result it felt really special for us. A short hike up the mountain to see the glacier and glacial lake was beautiful. We even saw an arctic fox near the cabins where we stopped for lunch! Piggi’s expertise with the 4WD was invaluable especially on some of the trickier river crossings.

We recently used Southcoast Adventures for two tours, booked through our hotel (Hotel Ranga). The tours were the Landmannalaugur super jeep tour, and the Thorsmork super jeep tour. The weather for both tours was quite challenging - for Landmannalaugur, an overnight snow followed by rain produced extremely challenging slushy conditions - the first route our guide (Ingemar) tried was inaccessible - even with super jeep, but he switched to a slightly longer route and got us there safely. Ingemar was very knowledgeable and focused on making our trip memorable. It turned out we were the only ones to make it to Landmannalaugur that day, and we enjoyed a private experience at the springs. The rhyolite scenery was amazing! The second tour was to Thorsmork on a super jeep. Once again we had challenging weather (heavy rain) but our guide (Elias) got us through safely, with lots of interesting knowledge about Iceland (we really loved the thirteen “Santa’s”!). Once again we were the only ones to get out to Thorsmork that morning, and it was an exciting trip. We were very fortunate that both tours ended up being private tours essentially since we were the only clients booked those days. Southcoast is very professional, and we highly recommend both them, and their guides Ingemar and Elias.

Most excellent adventure for a group/family with a range of hiking abilities!! The five hour Super-jeep tour dives past deep canyons, rugged washes, beautiful waterfalls and impressive glaciers with multiple stops to get out and explore. Hefty large-wheeled vehicles tackle imposing Thorsmork Valley road with a minimum of jarring vibration. At the end of the valley the rustic Lava Hut "cafe" served delicious soup-bread-cake lunch after a pleasant optional two(?)mile hike. Our guide (Elvar), personable and knowledgeable, patiently answered all my questions during the drive. Well worth every penny!!

This was without a doubt the best tour experience we had in Iceland. Biggi was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The other group cancelled so it wound up being a “private tour” with Biggi and by the end it felt like he was a family friend. He told us all about þorsmork and how it’s his favorite spot in Iceland and how his family travels out there each year. He showed us where he proposed to his wife and where they got married out there. The views were something I cannot put into words, truly stunning and unlike anything else. I will be not only recommending this tour to any friends/family who travel to Iceland but I will be insisting that it is a must do experience. Truly memorable and breathtaking. Thank you again to Biggi for being so amazing
