Transport
We booked this trip via the app prior to arriving at resort. We arrived at the designated bus stop at 07.45 for a 8am pick up - waited 1.5hours in the cold for the bus which did not turn up. We have lodged a complaint as were looking forward to the trip very much and were very disappointed. This was a day wasted whilst we were on holiday and we paid for an alternative trip to do something else but this was very costly. We are still awaiting a reply from TUI for our refund and compensation
If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country's south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting.
You'll make a couple of stops at the area's biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you'll have enough time to take some photos. Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.
The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.
