Location: Skaftafell

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Fosshotel Baron or similar

Meals Included: Breakfast

You will be picked up from Reykjavík, and from there, set out to explore the countryside, heading towards the South Coast of Iceland.


Seljalandsfoss


The adventure begins when we pick you up in Reykjavík in a small and comfortable minibus before heading straight to the South. Our arrival is announced by the powerful theatrics of Seljalandsfoss. Bring a raincoat and you’ll be able to make the short hike behind the falls. The scene behind the fall and the trembling ground from the power of the falling water makes for an automatic Instagram blockbuster!


Skogafoss


Further east along the coast is Skógafoss waterfall. Skógafoss is an incredibly picturesque sight. Tucked in a little gorge, the river Skógá tumbles down a 60 meter cliff before continuing down the landscape towards the Atlantic Ocean. Alongside the gorge a staircase can take you to the shelf above the waterfall for stunning views. See if you can count your steps on your way up.


Glacier Hike in Skaftafell (and Blue Ice Cave during winter)


We will hike an outlet glacier spawning from the largest glacier in the country, Vatnajökull. After meeting our highly trained glacier guides and strapping on your safety and glacier equipment, including helmets, harnesses, crampons and ice axes we hike on the ice for an hour and a half. A spectacular experience and opportunity to learn more about this breathtaking and increasingly rare natural phenomena. Skaftafell area has been used as a filming location for many famous TV shows and films, such as Game of Thrones, Interstellar, James Bond, and others… Follow the steps of your favorite characters onto the glacier!


During winter


The journey continues with the blue ice cave exploration. we recommend wearing waterproof hiking boots that cover your ankles and have a hard sole. Iceland’s nature is dominated by glaciers and it is only possible to explore them with a certified guide and safety equipment. Your guide will share with you his expertise about the ice caves, allowing you to truly appreciate this amazing natural phenomenon – spoiler alert… it will be blue.


Day 3 : South Coast Tour Day 2

Location: Jökulsárlón

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Fosshotel Baron or similar

Meals Included: Breakfast

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

Starting the second day, you’ll head to Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, a 200m deep glacial lagoon fed by Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Europe’s largest glacier. Enormous icebergs come from Breiðamerkurjökull all year round so the lagoon is usually filled with ice that floats south. We will give you the opportunity to book a boat ride between the icebergs during summer time and get a closer look at the millenary ice. If boating is not your thing, then we walk alongside the glacier lagoon enjoying the magnificent views and dead silence of Icelandic nature.

Diamond Beach

On the other side of the road the icebergs from Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon float into the Atlantic Ocean where they are quickly thrown back to shore by the tide and winds. This black sand beach is full of smaller ice rocks in all shapes and sizes, sparkling like diamonds in the daylight. The ice itself comes in all shades of white and blue forming beautiful contrasts, guaranteed to make your Instagram account pop!

Reynisfjara, the Black Sand Beach

Heading further west, we visit the black sand beach of Reynisfjara where the massive waves of the Atlantic meet the unique basalt columns in the cliffs above the sand. Rock pillars in the water and the cliffs of Dýrhólaey are seen in the distance. This area of the south is also a paradise for bird lovers, as puffins and dozens of other unique species nest on top of these cliffs in the summertime from June to August.

Gullfoss Waterfall

The melting water from Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull, falls into a deep canyon forming the majestic “Golden Falls”. On a sunny day, you can see the glacier Langjökull in the distance and enjoy a rainbow in the mist of the waterfall, an Instagram blockbuster waiting to happen!

Þingvellir National Park

We visit the place where the two tectonic plates, the North American and the Eurasian plate, are moving away from each other. Few places in the world offer a better and clearer view of this massive geographic activity. The biggest natural lake in Iceland is also located at Thingvellir National Park and hosts a great variety of fish and bird life. Thingvellir is also an important place for Icelandic national history. At Thingvellir Icelanders founded their parliament in 930 a.d. where the chieftains had their annual meeting every summer.

16-Feb-2025

I joined the Suite Euro package tour in Iceland, and it was an amazing experience. The accommodations were great, and the travel itinerary was well-planned. At the beginning of the trip, the weather was so bad that we almost couldn’t visit some of the planned destinations. However, thanks to our driver Josip, who did his best to make sure we got to see everything, we were able to visit Kirkjufell. The wind and rain were so strong that we could barely stand, so we had a quick look from the parking lot before heading back to the hotel. Suite Euro tour guide and Josip also shared useful travel tips about Iceland and was always kind and helpful. Even when our schedule was delayed by a day, Jo kindly offered to take us to the airport (thank you so much!). We had such a fun conversation on the way. A huge thanks to both our tour guide and driver for ensuring a safe and enriching journey throughout the trip! ...more ...less

04-Oct-2022

We just returned from a 14 day self-driving tour organized for us by Marina Travel. They provided access to a 9-passenger van, hotels w/breakfast and a itinerary/route with numerous points of interest along the way . Everything they did for us worked out very well, and we're very happy with our experience. I particularly liked staying at the Fosshotels. We encountered a weather concern, and discovered that they operate their offices 7 days a week, which is very comforting in a foreign environment. I'd give them an A+. ...more ...less

Waited for them to show...

24-May-2022

Waited for them to show up for 3 hours in the snow with 3 kids. They never showed up, and then claimed that they did so that they wouldn't refund us. Save your money and buy your own tickets to whatever event, and book your own taxi. We had to do that in the end anyway. Edit: their response is a lie. They never showed and we paid $200 for a taxi to get us there and the chargeback went through, so luckily I did get a refund, just not through any good customer service, only by forcing it through. I think I'll go find a few more places to inform customers about your horrible service with more reviews, right now. ...more ...less

I loved the blue lagoon...

11-Jan-2025

I loved the blue lagoon such an amazing experience however I just wouldn’t do it again with Marina tours. There’s no need. They just pick you up from the hotel and drop you off at the general bus stop and then you get on another random bus that takes you to the resort. You can easily do this with a normal bus with normal prices! We paid over €500 for the experience and I now know I could have gotten it much cheaper and marina tours are just not helpful. They send out weird cryptic emails with confusing directions and then they just remain silent. There’s no “tour” aspect to it. ***EDIT SINCE MARINA TOURS HAVE REPLIED: You even said it yourself in the below email. you sent me a detailed version on the 27th WHICH WAS THE DAY OF MY TOUR and you literally sent it to me while i was queuing up at the blue lagoon! You cannot take criticism for some reason which is astonishing considering you get SO many complaints. I want you to email me with a proper response to my complaint. I should not have to reach out to you. AGAIN. ...more ...less

EDIT: It’s unfortunate to now...

17-Aug-2021

EDIT: It’s unfortunate to now see the owners tell me I am a liar. We did not hang up nor yell on the phone. Good business practice would be taking the time to speak with me and come to a mutual conclusion if I somehow was misunderstanding so deeply. It’s what makes people change their mind on reviews, etc. Plus - I wish I had a single driver ask me if I were going with Marina Tours. Probably wouldn’t have sat there for over an hour. Ah well. I think this place is a scam and doesn’t exist. Unfortunately, this place was as unprofessional as they get. We were not informed what time to pick up our tour bus and it took 3 calls and 1 email to get ahold of a single person. They told us finally to meet at 8:30am at our bus stop. We got there at 8:20, and asked every single tour bus driver if they were part of Marina Tours for blue lagoon and had our party name on the list. 100% of them said no. We called Marina Tours and the woman said that some driver kept calling for us - look, there were 3 people looking. It never happened. They said they’d send another bus to our stop at 9. Then at 9:30. No one came (only a bus for a troll tour and for a horse tour). Called again, they said they were looking for us - never happened. Said we weren’t at bus stop 3, we took a picture of the stop. It was 3. Now they won’t give us our refund because we “didn’t cancel 24 hours before” - kind of hard to know that a tour company will never show up or do what you paid for 24 hours ahead. We kept our cool and the lady just ended up hanging up on us. So, beware. I’m not sure this place is even real. ...more ...less

Booked a day tour for our big group with Marina travel five month before our tour and paid 50% deposit. They canceled our tour 2 month before our trip due to their operational issue. unacceptable reason!! Spent time and more money to find replacement in a short time. It was very intense and upsetting. Not a reliable company, watch out when you book. ...more ...less
