Golden Circle sights plus 1-hour Langjökull glacier snowmobiling, with coach pickup and gear included. Long day, big memories.

“Disappointing experience and serious safety concerns Our Northern Lights excursion was cancelled twice due to bad weather, which we fully understood and had no issue with at all. On the third night, however, the tour proceeded despite full cloud cover and an extremely low likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights. It was clear during the excursion that the drivers and guides were aware that conditions were unsuitable, yet the tour went ahead regardless. We spent almost two hours sitting at a filling station, where hot chocolate and cinnamon buns were provided, but this did not make up for the lack of an actual viewing experience. The most concerning aspect of…”

“Christina was a knowledgeable, entertaining, experienced, accommodating, savvy guide, who is passionate about the beauty of her country and the safety of everyone. Wonderful group of sights to see and well organized and in the right order to accommodate our comfort. Good music and rest options between sights. I should have brought or rented better boots, but they were available. It may benefit the group to lane the glacier hike more strongly as a moderately strenuous activity. Overall: 5 stars and I’ll bring my family back to enjoy in the future!”

“We really enjoyed this tour - Einar, our guide, was so knowledgeable and really cared that we had a good experience. He was also very punctual! We saw a LOT in one day and were lucky that the weather was perfect at Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon. I highly recommend if you have a full day (it was over 10 hours!). We went really far into Iceland that we may not have traveled to on our own. Please note that the time shown on the ticket for this tour is confusing and you need to read very carefully. If you're being picked up from your hotel, it's earlier than the…”
