Went on a tour on Nov 29,...

Went on a tour on Nov 29, I wish I could remember who my tour guide and bus driver were (maybe Hindrik?) as they were amazing and knew so much stories about Iceland. The stories were so engaging and funny. While the volcano hike was a little strenuous, our guide made sure to check on us! Seeing the erupting volcano from afar was a story I tell everyone!

Such a cool experience

Omar was our tour guide and he was amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and a great photographer. The hike itself was beautiful but I wouldn’t say it was easy. Pretty steep so keep that in mind. The sites were amazing and it was very cool to see the lava.

Amazing!

This tour got changed to a different hike and the hot river and it was amazing. The guide we had was so friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. I can't remember his name but if we went back, I would love to request him again. Highly recommend!

Overall a good day out!

Walking around the Meradalir volcano was an enjoyable experience. I really liked seeing the new lava fields and using them to warm back up (they're still so warm!) as the day itself was very cold and windy. However, our guide was not that concerned about keeping the group together and as a consequence two people from our tour wandered off and we had to wait on the bus for over an hour before they could be found. There's also no toilet facilities near the volcano so that meant another hour before we made it to a toilet stop. Our guide for the Northern lights tour was the master of managing expectations. We didn't see the lights and didn't have time to rebook for another night so alas maybe our next trip to Iceland will be more fruitful. The hot chocolate and fire pit were very much appreciated though.
