    This beach is nice you feel like your walking on a nice sand as in Spain the pools are cozy and hot it's really close to the ocean so it's so nice to jump in after a cold take in the ocean which is nice and refreshing in the usmmer the place has an shop so if you want an ice cream it got you've covered! I recommend and it's so nice to go there and lau on your towel there wether it's in the sand or on the little hill which is part of the zone! The showers are good cozy and big it's really nice! :)

    What a great service!! We rented hiking boots for our family of five (2 adults and 3 teens). The boots were sturdy and comfortable - extremely useful for our excursions around Iceland. Highly recommend checking them out. Would definitely use them again.

    Our tour of Iceland included a well-curated and well-paced series of remarkable sights, great adventures, great food, and great fun!! The Hidden Iceland team (Nina, Scott) worked hard to craft our itinerary and assure our enjoyment…considering and resolving so many details. All of the hospitality and service providers were a pleasure. Our guide, Robert, was a highlight of our trip. His personality and expertise were a perfect fit for our group. All through our adventures, Robert enthusiastically shared his knowledge about the lava fields, the flora, the glaciers, seismic and
    volcanic activity, the flow of the rivers, the geothermal and hydroelectric systems, the industry, the history, the weather, and more. As I mentioned, we started with a great itinerary. However, along the way, Robert added stops that he knew would enhance our experience. We also appreciate that Robert captured many wonderful moments for us in photographs and videos. Thank you for your help in creating this wonder-full adventure.

    I haven’t gone on any tours yet, my review is in regards to trip planning with Guide to Iceland. I engaged in an hour + chat with Ann, a wonderful and knowledgeable customer service rep, who researched options according to my timetable, interests and budget. She was so patient and friendly as well as helpful. I haven’t booked anything yet, but I am well-prepared to do so with confidence!

    A once of lifetime flight over the highlands, Landmannalaugar, glacier tops and waterfalls.
    Stunning landscapes, landings in beautiful unique spots in the wilderness. Absolutely fantastic.
    Great pilot and great services.
    Highly recommended.

    My girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience! Originally we were booked on golden circle and Fontana baths, but due to an issue (before we even flew) the operator upgraded us to golden circle and secret lagoon.

    Christina and Herman kept us company during the golden circle. Christina was an amazing guide and super funny, while also keeping us all on time. Favourite stop was definitely Gullfoss!

    We were then dropped off at the secret lagoon for a fantastic experience. It was so relaxing, really nice atmosphere and perfect to have a soak after such an early start.

    We were picked up from secret lagoon by Darren and helgi, who made us feel welcome immediately and were so helpful to us figuring out where their new additional passengers needed to be dropped.

    We were very lucky to have not one fantastic but two fantastic tour guide and driver teams.

    Everything was very clear throughout the process - the only difficulty we had was the pick up bus said blue lagoon and airport which was confusing but a quick word with the bus driver and that was all sorted.

    Thanks for helping us to make so many amazing memories!

    I feel terribly for those of you trying to get your money back as we did tour with these guys twice, once without kids in 2011 and then last May/2018 with our 3 kids and they were wonderful, the most knowledgeable and respectful of the environment and of the history of Iceland. Real guardians of the country and maybe that's why some of the other groups were targeting them and just want to collect a buck. Too bad these guys are gone.

    We had the absolute pleasure of being guided around Iceland by Dofri a true Icelander who's knowledge of the areas, locations, terrains geology and stories is unmatchable. It was truly a remarkable experience. We all met initially as strangers, but I can confidently say, left as friends. It's a time I will never forget and there isn't a single bad word to say.
    We opted for a unique itinerary that was catered to our desires. As we are familiar with the main attractions of Iceland, we asked for a different kind of tour that included places we haven't seen, and it was delivered beyond our expectations.
    We saw some of the most spectacular and awe inspiring locations, that I had never even heard of prior to this tour.
    The ride in the vehicle itself was comfortable and there was enough room for all our bags every practicality was met. There was even an option to have his adorable dogs come along too and meet his real Icelandic horses! Just an added benefit.
    There's a truly personal touch to these tours that I haven't experienced anything like before. If I had the option to do this again, I would in a heartbeat. The tour and the guide has made me fall in love with a version of Iceland that I never knew existed on a much different level of appreciation than I had prior.
    My words and photos can only express so little and definitely do not do these phenomenap, surreal landscapes justice. Take my word for it, you'll just have to experience it for yourself.

    We highly recommend Luca's Raven tours. Luca is an excellent guide. His knowledge and manner make him the perfect guide. We wanted a family tour (me and 2 teenagers) so we could go at our own pace, get lots of local knowledge and not worry about driving conditions. We got that and more on the 2 separate day tours we booked with him. If we'd had more time we would have done another one. Thanks so much, Luca.

    We took a tour with Beyond Reykjavik in the Summer of 2022. Our group was 9 people ranging from age 9 to 81, including four kids under 18. Jon arranged a customized five-day itinerary for us that included Snaefellsnes, the Golden Circle, the South Coast, and the Westman Islands, and he even let us explore Reykjavik on our own (with suggestions, of course). Along the way took many stops, and each one was more incredible than the last: waterfalls, glaciers, icebergs, and Diamond Beach. etc. We hit everything you would want, and Jon had all of the pertinent information about each site. From the time he picked us up at the airport, until the time he dropped us off at the end of the week, we felt like Jon made us a part of his family, and we had the time of our lives.

    Niko and Simon did a great job. The tour is long but worth it - the nature and views are awsome, Island is really showing off :) Niko had a lot to tell and also answered all questions, so it was not boring during the drive.

    I had the most wonderful 14 day tour of Iceland with Jean Yves.

    He's a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about Iceland.

    Jean Yves arranged everything - the transport, the accommodation, the itinerary, I just had to show up at the airport!!!

    Iceland was absolutely magical and I hope to return one day.

    I can highly recommend Jean Yves as an Iceland tour guide.
