“Such a wonderful day. My daughter and I saw sights we shall never forget. Tour guide was brilliant too. Long day, 12 hours in all but so worth it.”
Explore Iceland’s Víðgelmir lava cave with a guide, helmet, and headlight. Get practical tips on cold, footing, timing, family rules, and value.
“This tour was led by young, enthusiastic and very informed guides. There clearly enjoy their work, and engaged a pretty large and diverse group very effectively. The opportunity to see the "inside story" of lava activity and just enjoy the unique setting is really captivating. We even had a couple of people who were somewhat claustrophobic and our guides sensitively and expertly walked them through the experience in a way that allowed them to enjoy the entire expedition.”
Review of the 5-hour Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour from Grundarfjörður, with Kirkjufell, black beaches, sea cliffs, Búðir Church, and practical tips.
“We were an hour late leaving because of our cruise ship. Everyone was so thankful that they waited for us to get to shore. A few stops were cut short but we had a beautiful, clear day with incredible sights. The guide and driver were very entertaining and made sure that we made it back before the last tender.”
Ride a snowmobile across Langjökull and explore its ice tunnel on this guided three-hour Iceland adventure from Húsafell.

Kayak beneath Iceland’s iconic Kirkjufell, spot seals and puffins, and enjoy dry suits, hot chocolate, and small-group guiding.
“Kate was a kind and informative guide. I appreciated that it was less of a tour and more of an experience. She gave us a lot of great local information and was happy to discuss questions we had. We were lucky to have good weather so it was very relaxing. No other parties booked the tour at our time, so we had a nice small group experience on the 4pm tour.”
Review the Husafell Canyon Baths Tour in Iceland, with a scenic hike, geothermal pools, local guide, price, weather tips, and practical advice.
“We had a private tour led by Andre. It was so interesting and very calming and relaxing. Andre shared lots of history and interesting geology facts. Changing rooms and showers are quaint and comfortable. Very true to nature. Would have given 5 stars if the baths were a bit warmer. They don’t heat the water - it is piped in from a geothermal well, so not sure they can control this, but hotter would have been better. Would give 4.5 if possible!”
Paddle beneath Iceland’s midnight sun beside Kirkjufell, with small groups, warm drysuits, local stories, seals, birds, hot chocolate, and cookies.
