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.

Skógafoss & Seljalandsfoss Waterfalls 🌈 Freezing cold, howling wind, and pouring rain. Witnessed the natural beauty of light refraction. Caught a rainbow at both! 🌈 ReynisfjaraBlackSandBeach The conditions at Reynisfjara were awful, and despite keeping my distance, I actually got dragged in by a sneaker wave. In that exact moment, I thought, 'If I die right now, at least my family gets 12 million in insurance.' #CloseUpGlacier Looking closely at the glacier, it's far from the ordinary white I know. Instead, it's a natural white with light refractions, mesmerizing from every single angle.🌟 #

Our guide (Ari? I am not sure the spelling) but he was awesome! Gave us detailed introductions to the sites and also Icelandic history as we drove to each location. He answered questions and shared funny stories. I like that he shared some of the views of Icelandic people. It’s a good tour for solo travelers

We enjoyed the fullday Golden Circle Tour on Oct 16 at 10am! The weather wasn’t very sunny but it was still good enough to enjoy most of the sights! The tour felt quite rushed tho. Some stops had around 30 mins which felt insufficient if you wanted to take photos, enjoy the scenery & truly appreciate the place without constantly worrying about being late. It sometimes felt like we had to rush back to the bus. would have loved a little more time at each stop. Our favorite was the Geysir! We waited for the geyser to erupt several times just to capture the perfect photo & it was absolutely worth it. special mention to our guide MARGERIT, who was incredibly knowledgeable and told stories so vividly that I could almost picture things she described. Some of her stories genuinely inspired me to dream about returning to Iceland. That made the experience special! ✨ Overall, a great tour with beautiful sights and an excellent guide. I just wish the pace were a little more relaxed!

I took three day trips from Reykjavik and it is my favorite one. You will have the opportunity to see some of the most iconic sights in Iceland, such as Skogarfoss and Reynisfjara Beach. Highly recommended!

There are numerous local tour groups, so it is best to inquire in advance about the vehicle's logo for easy identification. This tour covers many attractions with plenty of time for taking photos, the tour guide provides clear explanations, and we returned to the city over an hour later than scheduled.

What to know before visiting Reykjavik

Reykjavik at a glance: what to expect year-round

Reykjavik’s Klook bookings are dominated by Tours, Outdoor & sports activities and Museums, so the city suits travellers keen on guided sightseeing, nature-based experiences and cultural stops. Demand peaks strongly in October and is much lighter through late spring and midsummer, giving the year a clear high-and-low rhythm. Most activity types show a mix of budget to mid-range options, with outdoor experiences tending to sit at slightly higher price points.

When to visit: crowds, prices and the best windows

Klook data shows the busiest months are October and the autumn run into November, while demand drops to its lowest point in June and is also low across May through August. Prices drift up and down separately: past bookings were typically cheapest in September and ran highest around May, so peak demand in October does not perfectly match the priciest month. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for September or the quieter late-spring to early-summer months; if you prefer the peak-season atmosphere, visit in October or November when demand is liveliest.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia book roughly a week in advance on average, with early planners locking things in about a month ahead and last-minute options often still available a day before. For travel during October’s busy period, consider booking in advance to secure popular tours and outdoor slots; for trips in quieter months you can be more flexible and still find options on Klook.
