    The pick up was straight forward and hosts were good. We were fortunate to get a very clear night and the lights were very active that gave such amazing views and photo opportunities. Was bit cold with biting winds but the hot chocolate and blankets provided helped a lot!

    Had the best time whale watching in Iceland! Very knowledgeable guide who pointed out the two different whales we saw and made it a fun group activity. So happy to be able to see animals in their natural habitat. Also loved seeing the crew get excited about whale encounters.

    The tour is well worth a day of your time! Iceland is all about getting out or Reykjavik and seeing the astounding natural wonders. There are walks up to a mile or so at most stops.

    They pick up close to each hotel, ours was the Hotel Reykjavik Centrum at Bus Stop 1, near City Hall. Our driver/guide was Anastasia and she was great.

    Sights include:

    - Historic first government annual meeting place from 900 AD - Pingvellir
    - Waterfalls
    - Geyser (this one started the term Geyser)
    - Icelandic Horse feeding and petting
    - Secret Lagoon thermal pool dip

    The time in the newer comfortable bus was nicely balanced between Anastasia’s narration/tips/guidance and pleasant music.

    If you like nature, history, or a relaxing well managed dip in a heated man made hot water pond this trip is a win for you.

    Excellent tour! Perfect to see many great sites and attractions if you have limited time in Iceland. The tour was run very efficiently. Easy pick up locations;bus was on time. The time spent at each location was perfect, not too long or too short.
    Absolutely fantastic guide! Mikael was fun, engaging, and very knowledgeable. He was happy to answer questions and had wonderful stories and histories about the places we visited as well as Iceland in general.

    Heimir is the ultimate Northern lights expert. He shares with you his genuine love for his home country along with his expertise, enthusiasm, generosity and all the trimmings.. warm jumpsuits, Islandic snacks, hot chocolate and deck chairs). If you just want to relax and enjoy the show you can, but Heimir will also show you how to make the most of your camera no matter what you are shooting with. This tour was worth every cent and was the ultimate way to fulfil my Northern lights dream. Thanks Heimir for two nights I will never forget!

    Nice experience. The Northern Lights were out and looked beautiful. There is a bar on the boat for hot chocolate or spirits. Also, the suit for added layer of warmth was amazing. Would definitely recommend

    My family and I had so much fun on the Lava Tour. The horses are all very calm, so you can just sit and enjoy the ride. The guides were very competent and so friendly. One of the guides explained a lot about the lava fields. My daughter's guide taught her how to ride in an Icelandic style.

    I would recommend this trip to anyone especially if you have the tour guide Matt. Each stop was brilliant, beautiful and interesting but the fun facts and information from the tour guide made the trip better and made 8 hours seem like 4.

    Fun fact to pair with the polar bear fact: A human cannot eat a polar bear liver, if they do it can send them into toxic shock and kill them.

    Picked up on time at hotel. Driver:guide very friendly and informative. Took us off road to find the Best Northern Lights!! The sky came alive with the Northern lights. Stunning. Had warm hot chocolate, traditional treats and had blankets for the chill. Dress in layers - nothing is too much.
