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.

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!

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!

An amazing experience, especially for young children. The guide lady speaks excellent English, is friendly, and has a great sense of humor. My family really enjoyed the trip. We saw puffins from the boat, and they are super cute. My 9- and 7-year-old kids loved this boat trip. Highly recommend!

We suddenly weren't able to rent a car, so I searched for a way to visit the places we had originally planned to see and found this! At first, I was worried about whether the bus would actually come, so we arrived at the meeting point 30 minutes before the scheduled time. The bus arrived a bit late, and they called out names so we could board. It wasn't full and there were plenty of empty seats, so we were able to spread out and relax! I slept through most of the travel time. When we arrived at each destination, we were told what time to be back, and off we went! The stops were generally set to about 30 to 45 minutes. Of course, we felt short on time at a few places, but since we could use the restroom, this was probably the best timing overall. We were told that food purchased at tourist spots could not be brought onto the bus. Well, everyone secretly snuck food in and ate it anyway, haha. Since driving to Diamond Beach requires a very long distance, being able to sleep on the way made me really glad I chose this tour.

Great trip! Our guide was a retired Icelandic man who is very knowledgeable. I have brought some snacks with me and decided to skip the dine-in lunch. The guide arranged me to take a scenic hike trail around the town of Arnarstapi. Highly recommended!

So many similar buses come to the meeting place that it was hard to tell which one was ours. After about an hour on the bus, we arrived at a pitch-black location! At first, there were quite a few clouds, and I think we all pointed our smartphones at the sky for about 10 minutes trying to see something. Around that time, they handed out cocoa, and refills were available! Just as people were starting to head back to the bus, saying we probably wouldn't be able to see anything, someone shouted that they caught the aurora in a photo! We all ran over there and took pictures✨ A green aurora showed up in the photos, but to the naked eye, it looked like white wisps! Still, as an experience of seeing the aurora, I am extremely satisfied!

most common day tour in Iceland. our guide was knowledgeable, obviously they operators requested all guides to be prepared. whilst the crater was so-so, the Gullfoss Falls was magnificent and stunning. we also managed to hop by a small form and pet a few of the horses in Iceland which are so adorable. hopefully the price can be little lower.

What to know before visiting Reykjavik

Quick Reykjavik snapshot and what draws visitors

Reykjavik’s top bookings on Klook are led by tours and outdoor & sports activities, with museums and events also popular — the city’s seasonality shows clear busy and quiet periods throughout the year. Demand peaks in March while May sees the lightest booking activity, so the city alternates between lively peak months and much quieter stretches. Expect most bookings to be for guided experiences and outdoor pursuits that follow that seasonal rhythm.

Best times to visit based on demand and prices

Klook data shows demand is highest in March and at its lowest in May. Prices trend lower through late summer into early autumn and are typically lowest in October, while April appears as the priciest month on Klook. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower prices, aim for October or the quieter months after peak season; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere and don’t mind higher costs, March and April deliver the busiest feel. Overall, demand and prices mostly move together around the spring peak and autumn dip, with April noticeably expensive even as demand starts to fall from its March high.

Tips for travellers from Australia planning Reykjavik trips

Many travellers from Australia book around a week in advance on average, with some last-minute options available a day out for flexible plans. If you’re travelling in the March–April peak, try to lock in popular tours and outdoor activities earlier (around a week or more) to secure spots; for October and other quieter months you can often be more flexible. Use Klook to compare options and reserve the specific tours or activities you want without having to over-plan.
