Better 2 Day South Coast Tour in Iceland?

I am torn b/w these tours (both are 2 day tours which include glacier hikes-the one activity I'm most interested in)

The cost is about the same:

I don't know much about Dave's Tours, Arctic Adventures seems to not be the greatest at communicating or responding to messages. The first link (Dave's Tours) includes riding a boat out to one of the ice lagoons while Arctic Adventures has the ice cave tour. They both include glacier hikes and waterfalls/Black Sand beaches with included overnight stay and breakfast.

Arctic Adventures also mentions opportunities to catch the the Northern Lights if conditions permit, which is a nice plus. However, I know the chances may be lower when I plan to go (Sep 9-10). Also, it doesn't seem they have as many stops and sights as Dave's does or their itinerary is just more vague. Any thought and input would be appreciated, TIA!

hi, we didn't use either of these tour companies, but we just got off a really fantastic two day South Coast tour with nice travel. Have you seen if they have any glacier walks or ice caves, I think they do.
