Top Iceland Layover Tours - page 3

Absolutely amazing! So glad we did this, as I’ll admit I was a bit dubious! Our guide Adrian was absolutely fantastic! He was so good with all of our group, making sure we were all water tight and the equipment fit well. He was attentive through out, making sure everyone was okay. I would highly recommend this trip, especially with Artic Adventures. Everything was great from pickup to drop off. Such a wonderful experience and the whole team were great!

Awesome experience for a girls trip. Staff is friendly and ensure safety is important! Shout out to Piotr for saving my friend’s life - she started panicking with the mask on and he saw her right away, grabbed her and helped her calm down and breath properly with the mask on. Highly recommend ! Fun group of operators.

We absolutely LOVED this tour! The sites on the Golden Circle were breathtaking. Our tour guide Bijarny purposely went counterclockwise to avoid the crowds. We were SO thankful for this when we had places like Kerid Crater and Thinvillir Park to ourselves. He also took us to the "outdoor bakery" where they bake bread in the volcanic soil, explaining the entire process. While the sites are beautiful, it is Bijarni that made this tour amazing. Within minutes of meeting him, he makes it feel like you've known him for years. He is native to Iceland and one of the best story tellers I have ever met. I would take a tour with Bijarni that went no where, just to drive around with him and listen to his stories. We always book tours when we travel and Bijarni is the best tour guide we've ever had. When we go back to Iceland we will be sure to book all of our tours with Bijarni.

Unique experience in a beautiful national park. A great tour company and Dory was an amazing guide! Even though it was a daunting experience, she was kind, helpful, and accommodating. She made my grandpa feel comfortable and it was a great experience for all of us. And the hot chocolate was a sweet treat as well. The water was so cold but it was worth it. Would highly recommend this adventure and this group.

I selected this tour for my 12 year old daughter and myself because of the reviews and because it offered transportation from our hotel in Reykjavik. Simply put, it was wonderful. The guide was also the owner of the Icelandic horses. She cared for and knew each very well so was able to match us to horses that we would each feel comfortable on. She started by learning about our riding experience then selected horses for us and had us groom them to begin to establish a connection. The horses were very friendly and responsive. I've never had such a smooth, comfortable ride. We rode around the field and on a horse trail that ran parallel to the road. The guide took pictures throughout so we could just concentrate on the experience and safety. We got to trot and tilt and had a much more relaxed, comfortable experience than you get on the typical trail ride. I would engage this business again and after this, 'm impressed enough to want to come back to Iceland just to go on a multi day riding trip (tho that is not something she does. For us, having a taxi sent by the owner to take us from and back to the hotel was worth it as she is apparently sometimes not found on Google maps and more connection between her and the driver can be needed.

My son and I loved it! I was warm so much warmer than I thought I would be. Even the water in my gloves was lukewarm. My 14-year old son had cold hands though. Both of our faces were numb however totally worth it for the experience. We kept drinking the water. It was so good. Lillian was a great guide. Funny and charming.

If I could rate this a 100/5 stars I would. This is a once in a lifetime experience. The lava tunnel team created an atmosphere that was educational while also adventurous. The snorkeling was so unique! My husband and I were nervous about the cold at first but if you listen to the instructors it’s really only your hands and face getting wet. The team breaks you into such small groups you feel like you’re getting a very personal experience with a professional team. I am so glad we booked this tour! It’s something we will always share as a must do activity with future travelers.
