“I was so disappointed to miss this tour. I had booked it for 10:30 AM, but the tour operator changed the time to 9:30 AM and sent me an email on the morning of the tour.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 163 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $217

“Beautiful landscape, very nice bus and great tour guide from Spain. Loved seeing the waterfall. Our drop off point was nice and close and we even had time to shop a little and grab a drink and donut. Visiting the Turf house was unexpected and interesting. Forest lagoon is very nice. Can definitely get crowded as it is a fraction of the size of Blue Lagoon. You can see that they are expanding and that will probably help with the crowding. I would highly recommend this tour and a visit to beautiful Iceland. It is so unique!”
