Review of Reykjavik’s Midnight Sun ATV Adventure, with mountain views, rough trails, gear, pickup details, price, and booking advice.
“A once in a lifetime exhilarating experience! If you come to Iceland and have the time, do it! The weather didn't cooperate as planned (it was drizzling & cloudy), but we got to ride for (over 20) miles on backroads/trails (and sometimes public roads to get us there). We had some amazing views overlooking the valleys of the area outside of Reykjavik. To know that we were out until almost midnight and being able to see the sights was amazing. Weronika, a sweet young lady from Poland, who has a passion for motorcross biking, was our wonderful guide for the evening (tour operator - please recognize her accordingly). She was…”

Review the Reykjavik midnight sun whale-watching tour, with practical details on wildlife, boats, warm clothing, value, timing, and booking advice.
“Booked the regular midnight boat tour but got a call as not available and offered the RIB tour. Very polite customer service. Amazing. Saw puffins; Minke, Humpback whales and dolphins. The dolphins up close. Great service, pleasant crew and captain. Superb, highly recommend. Clearly they cannot guarantee a sighting but we were lucky. If on the RIB boat, if you have a bad back or knees, sit at the back. Great fun at the front but like a rollercoaster on the RIB. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!”
Review of Reykjavík’s small-group midnight-sun whale safari, with puffins, whales, gear, route details, price advice, and practical tips.
“This experience was breathtaking and memorable for sure. Late in the evening, we were on a small boat, going fast, and chasing dolphins, wales, and puffins far away from the shore. Amazingly we got to see all of them. The only unhappy person on the boat was my son, who became very sea sick. Unfortunately, he had to suffer for the duration of the trip because there is nowhere to go. If you are prone to sea sickness, I would not recommend this trip.”
