Tours & Excursions in Iceland

An highly recommended day out. This recent trip was the 2nd Golden Circle Tour for me this year. The first was back in January. For the most part the August weather conditions were good right up until the last stop when it started to rain hard. An unexpected stop at a local farm was the highlight of the day for me as we were able to feed some Icelandic Horses. Mia and Tomasz were great hosts on the day as well. Love the little stories and facts about Iceland between stops.

We enjoyed our day with our guide, Omar(I hope the spelling is correct). It was a long day but we had fun visiting several places in south coast of Iceland and took lots of amazing pictures. Weather was on and off with hail and wind but it was still enjoyable and made our day memorable at the end. Our tour guide was a really sweet and knowledgeable guy! He made extra few stops on the way going and coming for us to take pictures with different scenaries. Me and my friend would strongly recommend this tour, it is certainly worth the money, even more!!

The trip was amazing. Transfers were perfect. I went to the information desk inside the BSI and they were fantastic on advising me how it worked. Only thing I felt lacking was the information on the ticket. Didn’t say how to get on the transfer what company transfer we needed to get on and how we get back and how that worked.

Our Golden Circle tour was with Nice Travel. We had a fantastic day. All timings were spot on. Our guide was David, who was extremely knowledgeable, fun to be with & made the day flow well, especially with his additional stops. He clearly shared all important information & was a real character! Coach very comfortable. Small group. Bonus of great free wifi

The Sky Lagoon is an absolutely amazing place to visit. It's so relaxing to just soak in a very large geothermal pool, that is carved into the volcanic rock landscape, while gazing out at the Atlantic Ocean. This spa is beautifully designed to blend with the Icelandic landscape. Upon entering the facility you receive a rubber bracelet that opens a locker for your belongings. A credit card can be loaded to the bracelet, for any purchases and to buy drinks at the carved in rock bar. The 7 Step Ritual is a unique pampering experience. We were so comfortable soaking in the lagoon, that we didn't want to leave. Don't miss the Sky Lagoon, it's a once in a lifetime experience!

We had a wonderful time seeing the beautiful landscape. The guides kept us entertained throughout the journey with interesting facts and trivia about Iceland, its geography, history and folklore. The absolute highlight of our entire trip, however was the snowmobiling at the end of the Golden Circle tour. My only complaint would be that this part was too short...one hour seemed to fly by. The scenery at the top of the glacier absolute magical.

We scheduled our visit to the Blue Lagoon for 8 am on the day we left Iceland. I was advised to do this as the Lagoon is only like 10 minutes from the airport. Let me tell you this, it is worth the drive to Reykjavik and back to be able to spend as much time here as you like. I only got to spend about an hour and I could have stayed all day! I went early and would recommend doing so as it fills up quickly, the mud mask is very nice as are the changing facilities. There are hairdryers and wet bags and shampoo and conditioner. Definitely listen when they say to put conditioner on wet hair because it is hard to comb through it after the Lagoon. Take a wet bag for your phone because you will want pictures!

An experiential day to see a few sights and sledge to the Longjökull glacier. The break at the Geysirs could have been a little longer and we would have had time to eat. Now I had to buy bread in a hurry and eat them in a cramped bus. The guide JoJo was a professional guide with a good sense of humor.
