“We had our tour with Klaudyna and it was fantastic. Once she checked all our medical safety details she put us at ease and looked after us to get prepared. We had a really warm van to change and get the first layers set up. She knew exactly the right size if suits we needed and got us ready. She was confident and made sure we were comfortable with the equipment. Once we got in the water we were put at ease and were able to really enjoy the spectacular colours on the water and the views in the fissure. It was absolutely beautiful. I get cold easily and I…”
Chase the Northern Lights from Reykjavik with a small guided group, hot drinks, warm blankets, and a guide who captures your aurora photos.
“Best tour for northern lights in Reykjavik. We were lucky to have Christian as our guide. He has extensive knowledge about the aurora borealis, very patient and accommodating about the picture taking. It's best to go with a smaller group like ours (maybe 30 or 40?). And definitely look for a tour that includes photos taken by someone who is experienced with taking aurora photos. He also has a good camera, not just a cellphone. Our driver was also great, she served hot chocolate on our trip”

“This was a great small bus tour. The guide (Bjorn) was local and he entertained us with stories, and educated us about Iceland. He was great! We started off going to the waterfall. We had some time to get out of the bus and wonder around in the gift shop and 2 viewing areas. It was incredible! Next we stopped on the side of the road to see some Icelandic horses that were up against the fence and we got to pet them. Then we saw the geyser and stopped across the street for lunch. It was a perfect grab and go lunch that we could take along in the…”

Once we picked everyone up, he explained what the night was going to entail. Then whilst on our way out he was giving us many facts about Iceland, northern lights and other things. We were lucky enough to stop twice to see the northern lights and the stars were amazing too. On the second stop we had pastries and hot chocolate and then once everyone was finished with their photos we got back onto the van and drove back…”

Snorkel Silfra from Reykjavik in a dry suit, float between tectonic plates in clear water, and get included underwater photos.
“The 20 minute snorkeling element of the trip was amazing. Swimming in crystal clear water between the tectonic plates is a unique event and the photos taken by our guide were great, but there is an awful lot of waiting about (barely dressed) in the cold whilst everybody gets kitted out. Initially, we were asked to remove most of our outer garments in the minibus to speed up the preparation process, and although we were split into groups of 6 with a very good safety diver/guide, there were almost 30 people participating in total and as there are no covered changing facilities (completely understandable due to National Park rules) we…”

“It was an amazing experience. Our guide Kaja was great and the snorkeling in the pristine clean and icy cold waters of Silfra was unforgettable. It was not just the snorkelling itself it was the whole experience of being able to whitstand the elements. We were really lucky to pick a very nice December day that was not too cold and had no wind either. Having the experience with ice cold water swimming before I knew the feeling of extreme happiness aferwards. It just makes you laugh.”

“Day 2 of hunting for the lights with this company and it was once again amazing. This time our guide was Emil. Once again, an explanation was given as we drove, this time towards the national park. Although there was high activity, there were also clouds and the light of the moon that were against us, but Emil just didn't stop. We caught a glimpse around the park (took pics and had hot chocolate), but then drove back to Reykjavik since the clouds were forecast to break in the area. We made it just in time to catch the breathtaking fireworks and turn around to catch an amazing view of…”
