3-Day South Coast & Glacier Lagoon

Due to traffic restrictions in the city center, your pickup location may not be directly in front of your hotel or accommodation but rather the closest bus stop. 

It’s important that you provide the complete address of your accommodation when booking your tour and our convenient system will provide you with the closest pick-up location if direct pickup is not possible at your accommodation. 

A good example is Hótel Óðinsvé where you’ll be guided to Bus Stop 8 at Hallgrímskirkja. To make it easy to find we’ve put together locations of all city center bus stops.

All our vehicles are easily recognizable, displaying the distinctive Snæland Travel logo and a sign in the window with the tour name.

For the best experience, we suggest planning your multi-day tour to start at least a day after you arrive in Iceland. If you're landing no later than 06:30 in the morning, it's possible to join the tour on the same day. You can even add a private airport transfer with us directly. Just add the service during the booking process. 

However, keep in mind that any flight delays could result in missing out on the tour. If you wish to include accommodation in Reykjavík a day before and after the tour, have a look at the 5-Day South Coast Tour.

Yes, we’re happy to inform you that breakfast is indeed included. A plentiful breakfast buffet with fresh options ranging from fruits and vegetables to pastries and coffee.

A breakfast buffet is included at the hotel usually offering bread, toppings, yogurt, fruits, cereal, coffee, tea etc.

Your guide also makes sure to find a good place for lunch. Usually opting in for places with a wide selection of dishes on the menu, so there are options for everyone.

We end the day at the hotel restaurant where you can purchase dinner a la carte.

You can expect to spend around 4-5 hours on the bus each day. We drive on average around 300 km (186 miles) per day on our consecutive multi-day tours. During the day we do of course stop at multiple locations for sightseeing, activities, meal stops and bathroom breaks, so in total a full day with stops is around 10 hours. 

Admission for the Amphibian Boat Tour on Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is not included. You can add an admission ticket to your itinerary during the booking process. 

With an admission ticket you enter the boat on land and drive into the lake. An on-board guide tells you everything there is to know about the lagoon and glacier while you sail past floating icebergs and you might also see friendly seals that reside in the lagoon. It’s an experience you can’t miss.

For the best experience, we suggest planning your multi-day tour to end at least a day before your departure flight from Iceland as the tour ends in the afternoon. If you're flying out late at night, after 22:00, it's possible to make your flight the same day. You can even add a private airport transfer with us directly. Just add the service during the booking process.

However, keep in mind that bad weather or delays could affect your tour end time. If you wish to include accommodation in Reykjavík before and after the tour, have a look at the 5-Day South Coast Tour.

We do welcome participants of all ages, however we do not recommend consecutive multi-day tours for children under the age of five due to the long days.
