- The Northern Lights are a sightseeing and a natural random phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed by the operator. The hotels are in prime locations to maximise the chances of seeing them.

- Ice caves are a dynamic natural phenomena only accessible during wintertime when temperatures drop. Each year new unique caves are formed in different areas of the glacier. We visit a naturally formed ice cave during this tour. The photos are from this winter season, but the cave and other formations we visit might have changed due to the nature of formations.

Traveler reviews
Best tour and best guide!
100% recommended! This was the best experience ever, largely thanks to our guide, Rocky. He is incredibly fun, deeply experienced, and felt more like a friend than a guide.
Rocky was the best guide!
We had such a great time! Rocky was the best guide. He made us feel like we were out with a friend, not on a tour. Super friendly, really funny, and he explained everything along the way. His stories were the best 😂 and the music always matched the places perfectly. The tour covered most of the important places and everything was so well organised. Would totally recommend it!
A truly wonderful experience with an excellent guide and beautiful country
We had a truly, truly amazing time on our tour. Our guide, Rocky, was absolutely fantastic. He was very funny, informative, energetic, and organized. He went out of his way several times throughout the tour to ensure we had a top notch experience, and managed to find us perfect spots to catch the northern lights, which we were lucky enough to get to see! His curated music playlist with songs fitting the experiences we were currently going to or leaving were a very charming touch as well. The spots of the tour were also just breathtaking. Every place we went to was just mind-blowingly beautiful. It’s such a magnificent country and the tour really highlighted all the different parts of it and what makes it such an amazing place. The ice cave, the waterfalls, and þingvellir were all standouts, but no spot felt like a waste of time or unnecessary. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the wonder of Iceland without any of the stress of driving yourself around for hours. We had a truly excellent experience with our guide and our tour!
Happiest!
Rocky was absolutely amazing and so much fun! He made my entire three-day trip full of energy and enjoyment. The whole itinerary was very well organized. I’ll definitely come back to Iceland, and I hope to have Rocky as my guide again next time!
An Unforgettable Icelandic Adventure with an Amazing Guide
I had an absolutely amazing experience during these three days in Iceland! Thor was our tour guide, and he was truly spectacular. The experience couldn’t have been better. Thor was incredibly knowledgeable and generous in sharing his experience and knowledge with us. He was kind, friendly, and genuinely made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. He went above and beyond what was planned for the tour and made sure we had the best possible experience. One of the things I appreciated most was how perfectly he adapted our itinerary to the changing weather. He managed everything so thoughtfully and made adjustments when needed to give us the best experience possible. Thanks to him, the trip was not only beautiful but truly memorable. I would absolutely love to come back to Iceland, and I would definitely book a longer trip with Thor. He was an amazing guide, and I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Iceland!
