Top Iceland Half-day Tours - page 13

We had beautiful weather for a great day visiting so many sites along the Golden Circle. Our guide/driver, Andre, was interesting and informative. We were given sufficient time to enjoy every stop and we especially appreciated the pick up/drop off service at our hotel. The Secret Lagoon was uncrowded and just wonderful for relaxing after so much walking at the other sites. You can rent a towel there if you can’t bring one. Order an adult beverage at the bar and sip while soaking in the warmth. Seeing the Langjökull Glacier so clearly as we drove along was a delightful surprise. Godafoss did not disappoint. Highly recommend this tour!!

It was a fun tour, good amount of time for experiencing the lava tunnel. Transportation to and from went very smoothly. I would classify the walk into the tunnels - easy to moderate as there are parts of the walk that are uneven. Tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, and knew how to read the crowd.

Fantastic sea fishing trip! Caught many Cod and haddock. All rods and tackle were set up and the crew were extremely helpful and friendly. Really let you just enjoy fishing and the environment. And they cooked up the fish immediately, we feasted like kings! Many thanks to the crew Samual, Livia, and Patrick. They were helpful and super friendly, took lots of pics and made sure everyone had a good time. Would absolutely fish with this crew and company again. Thanks!

Our airport transfer was as expected it should be except for the final stop. Effecient and comfortable to the main bus depot. We were delivered to Reykjavik in a large bus and transfered into smaller buses for the trip through the city. You are not actually dropped off at your hotel. In our case it was a 4 to 5 minute walk and fortunately it wasn't raining, hard. Probably not a big issue if you don't have a lot of luggage and/or are able to make a wee walk. I am not sure one has an alternative unless you opt for a more expensive option. Based on the cost of other options we would most likely use the service again.

Fantastic way to get to know the main area of Reykjavik and enjoy different foods and hot spots of the city. Our guide, Helgi, was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable not just about food but the history of Reykjavik and its culture. He was welcoming, personable and entertaining! The different foods were incredible… even the shark!

Snorkeling between 2 tectonic plates is not something that the normal person can do. Usually snorkeling consists of a warm water island and seeing a lot of fish. Snorkeling in Iceland was very different. We had "dry" suits that kept us afloat and kept us dry. Doris, our guide, was excellent. She told us what to look at underwater and took many photos of my family and I with the GoPro she had. The water was cold, but it was crystal clear. You could see down to the bottom no matter how deep it was. The amount of time you actually stay in the water was about 30-40 minutes. It seems like a long time in cold water, but it passed very quickly. Even if you do not snorkel, you will be able to do this tour. Especially since the suit keeps you afloat. If you are going to visit Iceland, book this tour. The people are great, especially Doris.

The glacier lagoon is nothing short of extraordinary—an otherworldly landscape that feels entirely unlike anything I’ve encountered before. Walking across the glacier itself was a rare and memorable experience, offering a tangible connection to one of nature’s most powerful and ancient formations. Our guide brought the environment to life with a deep understanding of glacial formation, answering every question with clarity and a touch of well-timed humor that made the experience even more engaging. The ice caves, while smaller in scale than some might imagine, are remarkable in their own right—intricate, ever-changing formations shaped by the forces of nature. Approaching the visit with realistic expectations is key; these are not vast, cathedral-like caverns, but rather intimate and striking natural features. With that perspective, the experience is deeply rewarding and well worth it.

Lagoon experience was amazing. Bius Tickets - we and the transport staff were however unclear where to get paper/device tickets transferred but bus staff and lagoon staff proved helpful. It was unclear what the correct bus company was, even with barcode in hand. Some improved instructions on the confirmation would be useful but regardless, of the hiccup, staff were lovely and very helpful, it was an amazing experience once we got there. It would have only been better if the bus operators weren’t confused by whose bus we should be on. The confirmation didn’t state the bus company and provide the correct references. Both bus drivers were very confused. Paperwork info needs broadening to include bus company details in case of issue. So please check with the operator before you leave and get written confirmation details . We wasted a good half an hour - 15 mins both ends, with people not knowing if we were there customers. This meant we kept getting moved from one bus to another by drivers. It was slightly embarrassing.
