VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

A pleasant surprise

Bad weather and very windy conditions! They had to get us the most sturdiest bus in the fleet! The driver did an excellent job however. The guide spoke a bit too much about the flood that took place a few days earlier in my taste but he was very knowledgeable and friendly nonetheless. Our main destination for the day: Jökulsárlón! This blueish lagoon with its drifting icebergs is something unlike you've ever seen before. It is something you have to see in real life, pictures I've seen don't really do it justice. The boat tour surely added to the experience, we even got to taste 1000 year old ice! Is 1 hour at the glacier lagoon worth a 15 hour day trip? It depends... I for one was very pleasantly surprised!

Great Tour

Veltra made the tour easy with a simple booking process, without any problems once we arrived. The pick up process at the hotel was smooth. Our tour guide told us about Iceland's culture, geology, and history as we made our way to the Jökulsárlón lagoon - everything from the old ways of the settlement to modern language and custom. Although the grayline tour bus was a little uncomfortable (without much leg room for a long ride), the waterfalls, glaciers, mountains, coast, and countryside were amazing and we were otherwise well taken care of during the trip - a "must see" experience of ice and water. It was a good way to introduce us to Iceland and to entice us to come back when we have more time to explore on our own. We would not have missed seeing it all. Again, Veltra made it easy.

South Coast

Amazing siteseeing all in one long day, from amazing waterfalls to a ride on the glacier lagoon. Well worth it! Enough rest stops to use the bathroom and buy something to eat. Comfortable coach with very knowledgable tour guide. Weather was great and got to see the glaciers and waterfalls I'm their full glory, as well as the black beach at Sellfoss. Started on time and finished in Reykjavik on time. Dropped off at the hotel which is a bonus after a long day. I would definitely recommend this tour to someone who only has a few days in the country and want to see as much as possible. I will definitely be back.

Fantastic Iceland day tour excursion to southern glacier lagoon

My trip was going to the South Coast and Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon. I am looking forward to this trip because I like to have sight seeing on the natural view in Iceland, especially for the Glacier Lagoon.
On the whole, the trip was quite good. The pick-up service was on time and the driver was very nice. When the bus arrived the meeting point, the bus driver helped me to pick up the luggage. Also, the tour guide could explain the history of Iceland clearly. Her spoken speed was moderate and her voice was soft. I could understand what she was talking about and I were familiar with Iceland culture afterwards. During the bus trip, the environment was quite nice. The air condition made me feel comfortable and I fell asleep easily. Also, there was electric plug for the travelers to charge their electric devices. These are the good point to travel with this bus. However, the bad thing is that the wifi signal in the bus was unstable. Sometimes I could connected with the internet but sometimes I could not. I think the bus company should improve this as soon as they can. On the other hand, the weather was not good unfortunately. It was raining and cloudy all the time. The most regrettable thing was that I cannot see the Glacier Lagoon under the sun and I cannot see any seals there. Also, I would like to travel the lagoon by speed boat rather than an amphibian boat because speed boat can move closer to the iceberg. I hope that the tour can let customers to choose which type of boat they travel by in future. And about the stop in waterfall, I think the time was not enough for us to explore about the waterfall. If the time can extend longer, it would be much better. In addition, the stop for dinner and lunch is not necessary because we supposed to bring our own food so that the trip can be shortened and smoother. Overall, the trip is worth for the travelers to participate especially for those who want to see the amazing glacier lagoon and the wonderful waterfall.

I enjoyed the trip. It was very interesting.I do no t know how you can improve the quality !
