I have to put 4 stars because the volcano hike was shorter than what was written in the itinerary. I really like the hike for the volcano but the time spent is too short in my opinion. This tour is also split into 2 groups after the volcano hike, one for blue lagoon and the rest to Reykjanes area, which I think it's not very time efficient considering the time spent for each location is also short. For this, driving is recommended than joining the tour.

The tour guide was extremely professional, placed great emphasis on everyone's safety, and shared information and history about the glacier. I was initially worried that I wouldn't have the stamina for the 6-hour tour, but actually, after every stretch of walking, the guide would stop to share various information, which gave everyone a chance to catch their breath. The scenery is truly beautiful and well worth a visit.

This is the best day trip among other 4 day trips I had in iceland. It is a small group tour operate by big bus tour using jeep entering the highlands through f roads n river crossing. Laudmannalaugar is hiker paradise with different hiking trails from easy, moderate and hard. Our group split into 2 teams when some experienced hikers go for moderate trail by themselves, while most of us choosing easy trail and our guide bring us go and take care of us well. The hike is not hard, most are flat terrain with few steep up and down. But highly recommend to wear hiking shoes with mega grip. Normal person without any medical condition will have no issue with the hike. it's 4km and we spent 2 hours to slowly walk and take photos as the scenery is too beautiful, it is like in another planet. Our guide is very good. We continue to other stops to see canyon, waterfalls, viking house without any hurry. This tour is a very long day tour but absolutely worth it ended 9pm+. Definitely recommend it.

A great experience (particularly the ice climbing) and well organised day. The guide for the ice climbing, Steven, was knowledgable, safety concious and thorough in his explanations that gave me the confidence to push myself into some incredible situations on the glacier. Were it not for his professionalism and attention to detail, I doubt I would have had the same experience. Highly recommend this for an adventure seeking day up close to the glacier, especially if Steven is at the helm!

Good experience thanks to Alessio, captain and crew from special tours - managed to see 2 humpback whales & 2 mica whales! Thankfully the captain was skilled and reversed when the whale was near us, unlike other smaller boats who charge towards the whale...

We were picked up on time, but the local bus driver was quite casual and might change your drop-off location based on traffic conditions. On that day, instead of being taken directly back to the bus terminal to transfer to the shuttle to the hotel, the driver suddenly announced along the way that it was too late to go to the terminal and canceled the trip there. Everyone was dropped off at a bus stop in the city center that the driver deemed convenient for returning to the hotel (though it was still a 20-minute journey from our hotel). Only after we asked did he drop us off at another closer bus stop (which was still a seven-minute walk back to the hotel). Although this saved the time of transferring and waiting at the terminal, the actual experience felt like we almost paid to be abandoned halfway (especially since you didn't even know where you were). It felt like their transportation service is handled quite casually.

This is my first time ever to go horse riding. it's an amazing experience. the Iceland horses are a little smaller than regular horse and they are very gentle. the coach guided the whole team well and have them remain in a line. really recommend this activity to enjoy horse riding while also seeing the scenic Iceland!

Great guided tour! This excursion featured a 1 hr car ride to the glacier, 15 min walk to the glacier itself, and roughly 30 mins of touring the cave. Please be mindful of the area and keep with your group since there are several other companies that share the same route and have the same orange helmet safety gear for its visitors. The meet up spot was with a car labeled artic adventure and check in was pretty easy and prompt!

It was pretty good! The flow of people at the site was very smooth, and before getting into the water, they briefly explained the swimming route. The guide initially said that if you got tired, you could rest, and verbally told us which areas we couldn't go into (because they were too deep). I thought it would be fine to just follow the guide, but he barely stopped, so if you don't keep up with him, you'll fall behind. You pretty much have to keep swimming until you reach a crevice where he'll take a photo for you, and then you'll loop back to another landing point. It's about a 1.5-hour swim with few breaks. Once you get out, they give you an energy bar and hot chocolate. The guide was very nice. If I had more stamina, I would have enjoyed it even more! Also, one of my companions had water get into their drysuit and was very cold halfway through the swim, so if possible, remember to bring an extra change of clothes and some cold medicine.

What to know before visiting Reykjavik
Reykjavik at a glance and what people book
Reykjavik draws most bookings for Tours, Outdoor & sports activities and Museums, with a year that swells and eases rather than staying flat. Demand peaks in November and falls to its lowest point in May, so the city’s rhythm alternates between busy shoulder periods and quieter months.
Best months to visit for crowds and prices
Klook booking data show November as the busiest month and May as the quietest. Prices move separately from demand at times: they are typically lowest in September and reach their highest point in March. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in September or the quieter spring month of May; for peak-season atmosphere aim for November when demand is strongest, though prices are not at their highest then.
Tips for travellers
Most experiences here can be planned within a flexible window — travellers typically book about 12 days ahead, with some last-minute availability around 2 days out and earlier planners booking up to about 49 days in advance. If you prefer flexibility, many tours and activities can be reserved shortly before travel; if you’re visiting in November’s busy period, booking earlier gives more choice. Use Klook to compare available tours, outdoor activities and museum options and lock in the ones that suit your trip.
