Having the Volcano Fagradalsfjall erupting fresh red lava as a background

This is not a bus tour or a quick photo stop. It’s a real hike to Iceland’s most active eruption zone: Fagradalsfjall, where new lava flowed as recently as July 2025. This experience takes you into one of Iceland’s newest volcanic regions, led by local guides who have followed the eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula since the first lava appeared in 2021. Hike across wide lava fields, observe steaming ground and crater formations, and learn how repeated eruptions have transformed this part of southwest Iceland. The tour also includes visits beyond the volcano itself, giving you a deeper understanding of the area and its recent history. Along the way, we stop in the evacuated fishing town of Grindavík and explore the surrounding sites. ✔️ Local guides with first-hand knowledge of the eruption area ✔️ Stops that show the wider volcanic landscape of Reykjanes ✔️ Small-group for the best possible experience ✔️ Relaxed pace so you can explore, ask questions, and enjoy the surroundings

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 😊

Golden Circle lived up to the name

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.

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!

This was a great tour!...

This was a great tour! For my first day in Reykjavík as a solo traveler, it was the perfect way to orient myself with the city. My tour guide Minty was very personable and took the time to get to know everyone in the group. He made the informational side of the tour engaging as well. All in all, the food was delicious and Minty had a lot of great insight to share with the group!

Golden Circle Classic Day Tour from Reykjavik

Travelling with a 2 year old on bus tours!

We are a couple travelling with a two year old from the UK. What you need to know about bus tours with small children in Iceland is that they need to have a car seat, we brought one with us as we found the request for a seat doesn’t mean the bus turns up with one. No car seat, no bus tour. The bus was easy to locate at the bus station and the guide, ours was Albert and drivers name was Bartek, were friendly and professional. My 2 year old immediately made friends with Albert. The bus was clean and comfortable but there were signs for no eating or drinking on it which wasn’t necessarily ideal for a young child but there are opportunities to eat lunch off the bus. The actual tour destinations and drive to get there were scenic and spectacular although as to be expected very busy with tours. For those, like us who were not really sure what to do and are first time visitors here then it’s a good way to get some of the popular tourist destinations in with someone else doing the driving!

Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik

Ruth_R, Mar 2026

Do it, you won't regret it!

Great whistle stop tour of Thingvellir National Park geological attractions, mid atlantic ridge, fissures, Geyser and other hot springs, gullfoss waterfall. Our guide Dillon was attentive and knowledgeable. Well paced with educative and folklore history. Really liked that he used a visual time sign for when to return to coach, especially good for those who don't speak English or are ND. Snowmobiling was great fun. It takes lot of strength to control in the wind, with the leaning side to side so you do need to have a basic level of physical fitness. Warm overalls, buff, helmet and gloves were provided on the day. So glad we had taken a bungie to keep the phone/camera safe whilst filming as its a very bumpy ride. Exhilarating and absolutely breath taking scenes on the glacier. It was stunning! Highly recommend lunch at the Geyser visitor centre, one of cheapest we found was self service canteen. There is a water refill point in here too. Toilets available at every stop so no idea to worry when heading out for the long day. Coach was comfy, well heated and had usb points for phone charging. A bonus compared to other companies.

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

Brenda_M, Feb 2026

Must do in Iceland

Andrea and our driver were absolutely outstanding! Andrea gave us an unforgettable experience from start to finish. She was incredibly kind, patient, and engaging, and she shared so many fascinating facts about Icelandic folklore, mythology, daily life, and the rich history of the country. You can truly feel her passion and knowledge in the way she tells every story. Our driver was equally fantastic, making the journey smooth, safe, and enjoyable the entire time. Tour started at the Thingvellir National Park, then we went to Gulffos Waterfall, the Geysers and the Crater. Every place was mind blowing! Icelandic nature is amazing! We even had a quick stop to see some icelandic horses… definitely a nice surprise! Pickup was on time and the buses are labeled, so you can’t miss them. This tour exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend booking with this company. You won’t regret it!
