Ride from Reykjavik, hike colorful highlands lava and canyons, and soak in Landmannalaugar hot springs on a small-group day tour.
“Excellent trip to an area with incredible scenery, totally different to anything else I’ve seen in my trip to Iceland. Would highly recommend.”
Snorkel between tectonic plates at Silfra and explore Iceland’s lava tunnels plus Thingvellir. Gear included, small-group day in South Iceland.
“This tour was our favorite. Hiking in The cave was a lot of fun and very interesting. The Snorkerling was the best. We were all a little nervous about Snorkerling in near freezing water but it was fine. The views were incredible! It’s the clearest water ever and you can drink it. I highly recommend…”
Golden Circle small-group day trip with pickup, WiFi, geothermal sights, waterfalls, geysers, Þingvellir, and time-saving transfers from Reykjavík.
“The tour was cancelled by the operator the day before because not enough people signed up. Poor excuse and we had to scramble to get another similar tour from a different company.”
A small-group Super Jeep day from Klaustur to Lakagígar volcano terrain, craters, Fagrifoss waterfall, and Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon.
“Highly recommended, this area of Iceland is amazing and David the tour guide was awesome! Each hike was fantastic and unique.”
Ride a snowmobile on Langjökull from the Geysir area with guided safety, glacier gear, and a super-jeep transfer in about 4 hours.
“Excellent tour and really out on the glacier. It took us about 45 minutes to get there but well worth it. The guides were great and taught us how to master the snowmobile. Really enjoyed this.”
Visit the Hellisheiði geothermal exhibition in South Iceland with a self-guided audio tour, interactive displays, and free parking.
“Ok to visit if within proximity or close by. Very close to MegaZipline, so doable. Good educational experience for kids”
Hike the classic Laugavegur Trail in South Iceland over 4 days, with minibus transfers, luggage transport, and camp meals included.
“I recently completed the awe inspiring 6 day Laugavegur & Fimmvörðuháls Trek with Artic Adventures. Artic Adventures were so organised and absolutely everything was so well catered for. Great food (nothing dyhydrated), as though you had cooked it yourself ( grilled salmon, roasted lamb, lamb soup, pancakes, snacks galore,...) Dietary requirements were extremely well catered…”
One-hour horseback ride from Hótel Eldhestar in South Iceland. Beginner-friendly paths and meadows, small-group tour.
“Overall, it was a fine experience. The guide was friendly and briefly explained things well and gave a little history lesson about the horses and area. Iceland is a beautiful place. That said, I would have enjoyed this more if we had left the sight and sounds of the highway and explored the countryside more.”
Ride Icelandic horses across lava and geothermal country near Hveragerði, with free pickup, waterproofs, and an English-speaking guide.
“Absolutely wonderful! The experienced riders were happy and the inexperienced taught and looked after perfectly.”
Three-day Icelandic Highlands hike near Landmannalaugar with crater lakes, rhyolite peaks, hut meals, and Reykjavik pickup.
“We had a fantastic time. A great tour. Very active. Lots of hiking and many things to see. Iceland is beautiful. We also did the ring road 6-day tour. Tour guide Vjeran was absolutely superb, no one could have been better. I'd recommend asking for him by name. He was very knowledgable but also fun.…”
