Top Iceland Sightseeing Tours - page 46

Most Iceland tours take you on a whistlestop journey around a set list of attractions but this private full-day tour from Reykjavik allows you to see Iceland your way, by visiting only the places that interest you the most. You decide the route and activities and you guide takes you wherever you want to go, whether thats glaciers, waterfalls, restaurant, or thermal pools—or all of the above.

Many visitors to Iceland visit the island's famed waterfalls but this private day trip from Reykjavik takes you off the well-trodden tourist trail to explore some of Iceland’s hidden waterfalls—stunning, lesser-known gems that most travelers miss. As you make your way to at least nine waterfalls, your guide shares insights into Iceland and its natural beauty.

With departure times around noon, this tour is ideal if you had a long day the day before. If you want to learn more about history and geology, you can upgrade the driver to one of our educated tour guides. During winter, the days are short, but we will take you to the sites in time so you can see and enjoy them before going on to hunt for the northern lights. As the name suggests, it is a hunt, which, with bad luck, may not be successful, but the thrill of looking out and chasing holes in the clouds while waiting for the lights can be an experience in itself. Remember to dress accordingly. Even though there are paths, sturdy shoes are advisable since they can be very slippery in winter, hence the name Iceland. A wind- and waterproof outer layer is also always a good idea over a warm layer, as you may be outside for a while waiting for the lights to show and, of course, walking between the tectonic plates.
