Instead of relying on luck, a team of experts reviews the weather conditions, monitors the aurora forecast, and finds the best locations to spot auroras. If the skies are shy, try again free of charge as many times as you need until you see them!

What are people saying about Reykjavik

George_S, Jul 2026

This tour is nice nice baby

Lalli was an amazing tour guide. He covered the entire history of Iceland as we strolled around the centre of Reykjavik. His talk was entertaining and very well delivered, with nary a slip up. We got a tasty hot dog at an iconic stand near the end of the tour. It ran almost exactly to its stated 2.5 hour run time.

Reykjavik Walking Tour - Walk with a Viking

Ronald_R, Jul 2026

Walking with a well-informed Viking

Palli was so informative, had a good sense of humor and answered all of our small group's questions. We also enjoyed the stop in the flea market where we got to sample some licorice and caramel chocolate-covered candy and some dark bread with ghee. The group picture that our guide sent us will be a wonderful lasting memory.

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!

Wonder introduction to Iceland

This walking tour was great introduction to Reykjavik and Iceland. Ágústa was an amazing guide. She knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and history of the city, country and people. There was time built into the tour that allowed us to visit shops that we passed along the route. She also provided great recommendations of places to visit for drinks and dinner. I cannot recommend this tour enough for anyone who wants a quick yet thorough introduction to Reykjavik.

Puffin Cruise with Expert Tour Guide from Reykjavik

Tami_P, Jun 2026

Worth it - Lovely boat ride to see the puffins…and seals!

We booked this boat because it had a covered heated inside with window seating as well as outside seating. Perfect to stay warm to go see the puffins wearing our normal layered weather-appropriate clothing. Our guide and boat captain were friendly and knowledgeable. We got up close to the island, saw the adorable puffins, ducks, turtles, many other sea birds and an even a couple of seals. Some adults and kids volunteered to take turns driving the boat back to the marina. Thank you for making parking and this outing easy, fun and memorable!

The Lava Tunnel Tour - Raufarhólshellir

Katherine_C, Jun 2026

Touring the lava tunnels!

This experience was much better than I anticipated. The old lava tunnel was really neat to walk through, and our guide provided a lot of interesting facts along the way. It's so cool to experience the temperature changes, see the result of years and years of ancient lava flow and then be plunged into complete and total darkness towards the end of the tunnel/tour to see just how daunting it would be in a place like that without the use of headlamps or lights. Definitely one to experience if you get the chance!

I arrived too early, but that was my mistake. At opening they were hospitable and helped me navigate handicap routes. Loved the virtual volcano 🌋 and ice caves. The puffin exhibit seemed so real. Tried some beef jerky from the gift store. Regret not buying the licorice. Fun couple of hours.

Whale Watching Cruise on a Yacht in Reykjavik

Tim_F, Apr 2026

Many whales and bird species!

I booked this excursion on the day four the day I arrived in Iceland. The staff and the crew on the yacht were both fantastic! The yacht itself was very comfortable. They had drinks and snacks for purchase. The guide was very informative! We were fortunate enough to see Minky and humpback whales!! We also saw porpoise and a few puffins!! the cruise was very comfortable to the harbor. We witness many sites that you can’t see from the mainland! Also, we received a 15% discount at the local restaurant for meals and drinks! It was a great way to start my Iceland venture! I would absolutely recommend this excursion, it was well worth the price!!

South Coast Day Tour Black Sand Beach & Waterfalls from Reykjavik

Stephanie_L, Apr 2026

Beautiful

Very nice tour. This was very interesting and Eagle (Our tour guide) had a great sense of humor which made the tour more fun. He gave us recommendations on food, safes way to enjoy the black sand beach, and other tips like the water in the waterfall to freshen up. Iceland is beautiful but this side of Iceland really is sight to see. We want to visit again but in summer to better enjoy the landscapes with their green scenery since we went in wintertime. I have to admit that I was a little worried at first because of another experience with this same company where the experience was not bad but had a big room for improvement on service and I thought that every tour with this company’s was going to be the same but it turns out it was just one of those unlucky days since we had a great time and had no hiccups in this tour with Eagle. Thank you Eagle! Hopefully when we return in summer, we get this tour with you again. P.D. Always listen to your guide, there tips are always right, they definitely know best lol.

Reykjavik Folklore Walking Tour: Meet the Elves, Trolls & Ghosts of Iceland

Lauren_S, Apr 2026

Great stories and loop through a residential area we would never have explored otherwise

It was VERY cold and at first, when our guide said the tour would be 1.5-2 hours, I thought, “we will never last that long,” but the time went by quickly with the stories and exploration of a cemetery, a stop by a church, etc. I’m very glad we decided to do it!
