    Felt like I was in GOT. Magical experience. The waterfall was breathtaking. You have plenty of time to nap in between activities so you won’t be too exhausted.

    We had a wonderful time on Langjökull! It was a sunny day and it was a lot of fun to pilot the snowmobile! I have to thanks our amazing guides Hákon and Viktoría!

    Such an amazing day!

    This was a brilliant day out that we will never forget.

    The Superjeep was so cool and extremely comfy. Group sizes are small and our guide was chatty and informative, about both the physical and human/political geography of Iceland.

    We loved seeing the geysirs and waterfalls of the Golden Circle Tour.

    I found the snowmobiling both terrifying and thrilling - to drive over the glacier was a really special experience and my teenage son and I took turns driving and I know he will never forget having had this opportunity. I personally wouldn't have been confident that my children could have held on securely enough to be safe 'co-pilots' until they were 11 or 12 as you go quite fast, the glacier is not flat and you go up and down slopes and over small streams at speed etc but there were people with young children on the tour after ours who presumably managed.

    Thank you for adding so much to our memories of Iceland - we will definitely use this company again.

    Great tour! Styrmir made sure to get us to plenty of beautiful stops along the way! He also kept us laughing the entire way. We had an amazing trip! This is a great way to see a lot of the beautiful country in a short time.

    The drive to the glacier was very bumpy and took quite a bit of time. Once we were there we geared up and the snow gear (included) kept us super warm!

    They gave snowmobile instructions outdoors where it was cold and very breezy so it was hard to hear. Wish they did some of that indoors because we missed some very important details

    We had to follow the group when snowmobiling for safety reasons so we weren’t free to do our own thing, but still fun. It was a littler short though, and a little pricey for what we got.

    The ice cave was closed which was a bummer but they gave us a refund on that portion.

    Was cloudy at first and then opened up and was beautiful! The guides were awesome and made the time a blast, I come from a snowmobiling background and they let me have some fun on their sleds!

    Did this day tour with Activity Iceland. They picked us up in a huge off road 4x4 super jeep.
    Off we went for a few hours to to a glacier for snowmobiles.
    Once kitted up off we went out into a pretty harsh and wild environment saw nothing as far as the eye could see all around. Stopped after 25/30 mins for photos then headed back.

    Next up was Gullfoss Waterfall which was absolutely amazing to see icy water carving through the ice.

    Geysir was very good again amazing to see all the snow and ice them an eruption of dyes and water.

    All in al a great day.

    Amazing trip! Would be best in winter though with more snow. Peter is an absolute unit, pretty sure I saw him squatting the snowmobiles.

    So well organized! They outfitted us in gear and arranged a beautiful safe tour and opportunity to drive snowmobiles. There were great photo ops too. One of the highlights of our trip to Iceland!

    Flosi was very detailed with history and site seeing of Iceland. He was very kind with timing and made sure we spent a sufficient amount of time at each location.

    We did the Golden Circle tour with Snowmobiling which was an amazing day. Bart, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and was an incredibly good driver. It can be daunting going up the mountain and it can be very bouncy (take travel sickness tablets if you're anything like me), but Bart made me feel confident in his skills the entire time. All the gear was provided and even though it was windy and snowy on the mountainside, I didn't feel that cold. The snowmobile could be a little challenging to handle but we had a good amount of time on it and got some amazing photos.
    The whole trip was organised really well and I felt like we got a good amount of time in each location. The car was also really comfortable and it was always a small group so it felt nice and relaxed. Would recommend!

    Our trip to Iceland was absolutely stunning and Charlie the Traveler curated an amazing and adventurous trip for us that kept in mind all of the attractions that were on our list and many other gems this beautiful country has to offer. We hit a few roadblocks with our tours due to weather conditions and volcanic activity in the area, but Charlie The Traveler and his team were on it at every moment and were able to provide us with alternative tours that did not take away from the overall experience. His team is led by individuals that truly cares about your experience. If you need a perfect trip planned then Charlie the Traveler is the way to go. This trip has been absolutely perfect and can’t wait to come back and explore it again.

    We picked this combination tour so that we could visit key locations in the South Coast including Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Skogafoss Waterfall, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach and Reynisdrangar Basalt Sea Stacks. The pit stops were relatively short but we didn’t mind it too much as the highlight for us was the Solheimajokull Glacier hike which was around 3 hours. For the hike itself we would recommend proper hiking shoes with good ankle support and then adequate clothing (we went during winter so we had to layer up). The Artic Adventure staff at the glacier are ever so friendly and it just topped off the experience. They help you check your clothing and provide hiking crampons and a pickaxe. We would just say that the hike is although relatively manageable it still involves hiking up and down crevices and at times steep slopes. The views at the plateau of the glacier are absolutely breathtaking in winter and definitely worth the visit - We’ve never seen something quite like this!

    In terms of things we felt could have been improved - the website itself says lunch is not provided and to bring our own food, but when we got to the Black Sand Beach there was a little cafe that was serving hot food which we would have preferred especially in the cold. The biggest downfall for us was our driver/tour guide. There was a huge difference from this experience compared to other companies we used during our stay in Iceland where others shared local anecdotes, history and facts to make the trip more interesting, whereas our tour guide was more of a driver bringing us to point A to B. I understand we were running on a strict schedule which was probably more difficult to maintain with poorer driving conditions in the snow but he did make it very obvious he was frustrated with some of the other group members. At times we asked questions he came across rather unfriendly and it did ruin the experience for us but thankfully the glacier walk made the trip worth it. The website also sells that the tour includes highlights to see the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier / Volcano view and the Hekla Volcano view which we didn’t have as part of our tour. Im unsure if that was because of bad weather and visibility during winter but it would have been nice to know if this wasn’t possible.

    Unfortunately our northern lights tour had to be cancelled which we already expected that evening due to the aurora forecast but thankfully we managed with another tour company earlier in the trip.

    All in all we would still recommend this trip if you’re keen on visiting the South Coast and doing a glacier walk as not many tours provide this (as far as we could find) as it is definitely worth it, but as long as you’re aware of what we’ve mentioned above.

    We have just got back from a full day of activities- we started at 7.30 in the morning and didn’t get back until 7.30pm. We had four stops, including an amazing afternoon snow-mobiling with Nico! Our tour guide was called Emilia. She was wonderful! Full of energy, super kind, gave us so much information and the day went to smoothly. Thank you to Emilia for making our trip so much fun.
