Silfra: Snorkeling Between Tectonic Plates - Meet on Location

Holly_L, Apr 2026

Favorite activity in Iceland!

Wow! This was such a unique and cool experience. We drove through a yellow weather warning to get here from Rekjavik but it was not terrible as it wasn’t windy just snowy. Super worth it. Our guide, Quim, with Dive.IS was wonderful. Though the conditions were snowy and cold, the vans where you change are warm and they have a smooth system setup. This was the favorite activity for 3/4 of our family and definitely an incredibly unique and thing that you can only do here! Very Highly recommend!

This was my first time...

This was my first time ever doing a food tour on a trip and had a great time!! Our tour guide Day was freaking awesome and made the experience very fun! Despite the heavy wind today I almost backed out on going but glad I didn't!! Highly recommend doing this food tour, especially with Day!

Golden Circle Classic Day Tour from Reykjavik

Kirsty_G, Apr 2026

Fantastic & breathtaking trip. 10/10 recommend

What a fantastic trip, I’m so pleased we booked the golden circle as it was certainly one not to be missed! Our driver was Anna & we felt so safe with her driving especially with the road conditions but I guess they are used to it! Our guide was Lena who was so full of knowledge & kept us updated with everything. My favourite part was probably the waterfall, it’s probably the prettiest waterfall I’ve ever saw in my life especially covered in snow & ice it’s just breathtaking! Watching Strokkur erupting was also a special moment not to mention the geothermal pools everywhere. I highly recommend this trip & arctic adventures!

Sky Lagoon Entrance Ticket Including 7-Step Ritual

Lina_H, Apr 2026

Sky Lagoon

Sky Lagoon was an incredible geothermal spa experience. The water was perfectly warm and so relaxing. The seven-step ritual is a must—it’s the best way to fully experience Icelandic culture. They also have drinks, food, and a great gift shop, and the changing rooms felt like a luxury spa. Definitely worth it!

Iceland South Coast Full Day Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik

Catherine_H, Apr 2026

A fantastic tour of...

A fantastic tour of approx 450 km which includes visits to a couple of spectacular waterfalls, a walk up to a glacier, a visit to the black sand beach and a lunch stop at Vik, the most southerly town in Iceland. Our driver, Guna, was excellent, extremely knowledgeable about Iceland, its history and geology. She invited questions from her passengers and was eager to share her knowledge. The stops at the viewpoints are adequate given the amount of coast covered by the tour. It did leave you wanting more at times because the sights are stunning. We took sandwiches on our tour so that we didn't spend time buying food at the restaurants. We ate our lunch sat on the dunes overlooking the beach at Vik. On the homeward journey we had to drive through a mountain pass where we encountered strong winds and heavy snow. Visibility was poor and the road was icy and covered in snow. A couple of articulated lorries were stuck on the hill which Guna had to drive around. She did a fantastic job in difficult driving conditions and we were soon driving back into Reykjavik which was in sunshine. Iceland's weather can be very changeable so be prepared with adequate warm layers. We had a brilliant day which we will never forget. Thank you Guna 😊

This was so much fun! We got the premium experience and loved being away from the heat and getting a little bit of extra knowledge and Q&A dropped on us. The lava handlers are very friendly and knowledgable and really add to the entire experience. Our entire group loved this and would recommend everyone should check it out!

Fantastic tour of the golden circle in Iceland! We got to see so many beautiful sights and it was nice to not be on a huge crowded bus like the cruise lines provided! We had a fantastic guide and he was both patient and knowledgeable. Blue Lagoon was also a treat -- what an experience! Would definitely recommend.

Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik

Leah, Mar 2026

Highlight of our trip

Did this with our 6 year old and so glad we did! It was so much fun and so beautiful on the glacier. Definitely takes all day but would recommend to anyone coming to iceland! The tour guide told us at the beginning that this was mostly a snowmobiling experience with a little bit of golden circle. Not much time at the stops before snowmobiling, but enough time to get some pictures (and enough time for the attention span of a 6 year old). Would bring snacks for the bus ride.

Small-group Golden Circle Classic Tour from Reykjavik

Wint_K, Mar 2026

Wonderful trip to see waterfall, crater, hot springs, continental divide

Excellent guide, Guna(?). Awesome person and excellent driver. Was able to fully see all the listed sites, and a bonus stop to see the Icelandic horses up-close. Weather was clear as well. Con: It would be better to start maybe half an hour early so that we could spend at least 5-10 minutes more at each site.

The Original Classic Whale Watching from Reykjavik

chloe_c, Feb 2026

Amazing!

Definitely recommend this tour. There is loads of room on the boat for indoor and outdoor seating. The boat was massive so although other tours had cancelled on the day we went on the boat you couldn’t feel the waves. The boat was well staffed with a marine biologist providing fun and engaging commentary about the wildlife, they even took pictures and emailed them to us after the trip. We saw the whale banana and he came up to the surface so many times it was magical! 100% recommend this tour.

Golden Circle with Kerid Volcanic Crater Day Tour from Reykjavik

Jonathan_S, Feb 2026

Golden tour adventure with bus travel iceland and Andrea

Our Golden Circle adventure with Bus Travel Iceland was unforgettable — largely thanks to the hilarious and insightful Andrea. From standing between continents at Þingvellir National Park, to dodging geyser fake-outs at Geysir and Strokkur, every stop felt epic. Gullfoss soaked us in mist and drama, while Kerið stunned with volcanic reds and blues. Andrea’s storytelling, humour, and Icelandic music turned geology into theatre. We discovered many “Golden Circles” — history, weather, snacks, and song. Educational, chaotic, magical. Five stars. Would stand between tectonic plates again. 🌋🚌✨
