What are people saying about Reykjavik

Malinda_F, Jul 2026

The Best Time!

Wonderful experience. Horses were very well taken care of. Owners/staff were very friendly! Best time! Staff will help you on if needed. Riding these horses was my main reason for coming to Iceland. The scenery on the ride was breathtaking. These stocky horses are amazing. The history of this magnificent breed is truly astounding. It is different riding English instead of western but the basics are the same. It was my dream to ride these horses for a long time and the entire experience made that dream come true. I could never pay them back for what this ride meant to me. Please plan your next ride with this farm and you won’t be disappointed!

Classic Puffin Watching Cruise from Downtown Reykjavík

DANIEL_L, Jul 2026

A Really Fun Little Tour!

We rode on a comfortable decent-sized (with toilet) boat to 2 small islands near downtown. There were a ton of Puffins and other birds with much activity and a lot to see. The young tour guide, Janiek, (pronounced yannick - I think...) was a doll. She answered a lot of questions, explained everything, gave us binoculars, and was very courteous and professional. This tour really exceeded our expectations. And we had a lot of fun! I highly recommend it.

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

Lava Tunnel Tour Including Transfers from Reykjavik

Christine_K, Jun 2026

Got great pics of lava tunnels!

We decided to do this tour end of May in lieu of lava show - great decision! Pick up was on time at bus stop #17 Maritime Museum and we transferred to another bus at the bus station. Tour guide was excellent and had so many interesting facts about lava and lava tunnels. Wear hiking boots with good traction because of metal stairs and slippery, rocky paths. They provide a helmet with head lamp for safety. Highly recommend!

Red Lava Horse Riding Tour From Reykjavik

terese_c, May 2026

Amazing Memorable Experience

Absolutely phenomenal tour! The three young women who ran the day were professional, friendly, helpful and skilled. The horses were well trained and patient with all of us inexperienced riders. We felt very safe and in good hands. We had a generous amount of time on the trails. And the red lava scenery was amazing,……like out of a movie. This was my most memorable excursion on the trip…..and I’ve had many wonderful excursions to compare it to.

Golden Circle Tales, Tomato Farm & Kerid – Small Group from RVK

Linda_K, May 2026

We were a group of 3...

We were a group of 3 (sisters). The whole tour was perfectly timed. Pickup in the morning was prompt. We felt like there was plenty of time to see the determined sites. The tomato farm was a wonderful addition and the soup and bread were well worth the cost. Our driver was fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.
