Brilliant day trip! If you want to see more of Iceland & it's environment then this is the tour! We had the lovely Hannes, our tour guide who was informative & had the perfect icelandic humour that we loved! It was a long day but we was able to go to the restrooms on every stop & get some treats down us! The tour itself is beautiful, I won't say too much as it's definitely a must on your trip to iceland! Thank you!

We did a Northern Lights tour with Jennifer and Augustin last night and it was absolutely magical! The two of them did everything they could to ensure we got the best view of the Northern Lights. It was a truly incredible experience✨

by Mairi B

I used this company twice - 1st on the small group northern lights tour and then 2nd for the South Coast tour. Both trips were fantastic with knowledgeable and friendly guides. Everything ran smoothly. We saw the northern lights, which was even more special for me as it was my birthday. Thank you to Omar for the great tour and for singing happy birthday to me in Icelandic and English 😁 Also a thanks to Dooley for his great tour of the South Coast too. I will definitely come back for more tours of the beautiful Iceland!
