Silfra Drysuit Snorkeling Tour with Free Photos - From Reykjavik

Poonam_D, Jul 2026

Know your limits for this excursion!!

Its one of a kind experience and so unique. However, you should know the dry suit was really tight and uncomfortable so much that my friend couldn't do it. She was asked to come out of the water. I highly recommend this tour to anyone is who is good in snorkeling and not afraid of water!!!

Reykjavik Premium Puffin tour | Close Up and Personal

Jeremy_C, Jun 2026

Excellent experience from start to finish

Everything about this tour was excellent. We were worried about getting wet, but the suits they give you keep you both dry and warm. Our guide Mia is super friendly and had answer for all the questions we had. The boat ride out was exciting for the kids, but comfortable enough for their grandmother to enjoy as well. Thankfully the puffins were out and very active the day we went out. We had plenty of time to take all the pictures we wanted and made several passes of the breeding island. The fact that Mai took a bunch of photos that was provided to us was just an extra bonus. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Classic Puffin Watching Cruise from Downtown Reykjavík

Robyne_M, Jun 2026

Puffin lover

Our guide was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She made everyone feel welcome. It was really neat to see the puffin colony, in flight and on the water though we were still quite away from the island a camera is needed rather than a phone I think.

Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour Including Pick Up from Reykjavik

Kitty_H, Jun 2026

Excellent tour

I m not the first time riding horse but this is my most happy moment at your farm. The farm was very large, we spent more than an hour for riding. And the horses are not just slow walking but running. Although not very fast, we felt excited enough. So a wonderful tour. Hope i have chance to visit again in the future.

The Lava Tunnel Tour - Raufarhólshellir

Sridhar_P, Jun 2026

Tour experience

Tour guide and he his knowledgeable narrative in the short 1hrs tour was very good. The lava tunnel with the lights, walking platform, spectacular details inside, the silence mode at the end and preview to the extreme tour were all worth it. 1hrs goes by as it was 15min.. If you are not claustrophobic extreme tour might be life long memory. Tour is worth every bit of time and $$ spend

Snaefellsnes Small Group Tour with Homemade Meal from Reykjavik

Martin, our guide, was...

Martin, our guide, was fun, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable, he answered all of our questions with ease. The tour was great, and since we were ahead of schedule, we even got to make two extra little stops. The food at the horse farm was freshly made and absolutely delicious. Snæfellsnes is definitely a fantastic destination to visit in Iceland.

Snorkel for chocolate with Martin

Great unique experience even if you snorkel or dive; afterall it's between 2 "continents"! The team was terrific, kind, very professional and fun. Gear was all in great, clean shape. We were not cold at all. Martin our group's guide was wonderful and took great photos, a definite plus as we would not have been able to do this. We were partnered with 2 other ladies so only a group of 4, we lucked out! You snorkel as you arrive, there was no wait to assemble more people for a group. AND there's chocolate waiting at the end, will snorkel for chocolate! Enjoy! Thank you to our guides!

Wonderful trip!

FlyOver Iceland Admission Ticket

Angela_M, Mar 2026

Preview of Things To See While In Iceland

We really enjoyed the Fly Over Iceland experience. It gives you a snapshot of the country and basically a checklist of the things to do while visiting. If asked to provide a wishlist, I think it would be nice to add the Northern Lights, and an erupting volcano to the presentation. Those are two things you are not certain to see during any visit to Iceland so it would be nice to see them on the Fly Over experience. Otherwise it was great.

Sea Fishing Experience from Reykjavik

Mark_S, Jul 2025

Great first fishing experience in Iceland

Awesome first fishing experience in Iceland. Both my wife and I caught a lot of nice cod and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The mates, Otsgir (may have misspelled his name) and Samuel were both great and super friendly and helpful. They worked hard to make sure everyone caught fish, especially the kids, and filleted and cooked up the fish and some potatoes for everyone to eat on the trip back in. If I go back to Iceland, I will definitely fish with them again!
