Traveler's Reviews

Northern Lights Hunt Tour

The tour is perfect if you are looking to cover major attractions of Iceland. It is value for money and recommended if you are travelling to Iceland for the first time. The accommodation provided is excellent and the guide and the bus throughout was very very comfortable and guide was always available in case of any questions. Please book a tour guide with Ellert who is absolutely fabulous. I would recommend this trip to everyone who are visiting Iceland for the first time.

Fantastic, well organised tour that showed how amazing Iceland really is!

A really well organised tour that took us to all the best spots! We managed to see so many amazing sights that were so much better than I expected — glaciers, icebergs, waterfalls, geysirs, diamond beach etc. Even though we saw so much it did not feel too rushed, and we always had the right amount of time to walk around the area. The hotels they picked were both good quality and in great locations. The hotel near Vik was especially great with amazing food, beautiful location and a sauna, hot tub and gym. The guide gave us lots of interesting facts about the history, sights and culture of Iceland. This tour was way better than I expected and I would recommend to anyone who has this amount of time in Iceland.

5 Day Northern Lights & Glacier Lagoon Feb 2025

We travelled 13 - 17 Feb and had a great time, arriving late afternoon to Rekjavik gave us time to explore the sights and lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. The following days were full according to the well planned itinery, allowing enough time to see everything but not feeling rushed, nor feeling that we were hanging around. Our driver (Peter) was great, knowledgeable, informative with a wonderful sense of humour filling travel time with personal stories. Hotels were absolutely fine for the time we were there and great location (Hotel Klettur in Rekjavik and Hotel Katla in Vik) Food and drink was expensive but we knew to expect this. Would just advise against visiting the IceBar, it's an absolute waste of time and money with poor ice sculptures and cheap fizz that tasted awful. Can see that most reviews for ice bar are of a similar vein. But that didn't affect our overall enjoyment of visitngIcsland, we answered why people retun time and again.Don't hesitate- just book it 😀
