Fantastic 5.0
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.

The entire experience with pickup is about half a day, you only spend less than an hour in the water. The drive from Reykjavik is about 45 minutes, prep time of getting into the suits, and briefing is about an hour. When you finally get in the water you are treated to some of the most beautiful and drinkable water I’ve ever seen - don’t drink too much or you may end up buying your suit. If you are lucky to get some sunshine while you snorkel the water elevates to something mind blowing. The only downside to this adventure is that the area is inhabited by minges who are incredibly annoying so be prepared to constantly swat them or look silly so they don’t bother you. You end up in a small group with a guide which makes the experience even better. I would easily do this experience again.

Great 4.0
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...

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!

It was a pleasant visit to Sky Lagoon. The view of the ocean was incredible. The 7-step ritual was just OK (you can't go back to the ritual, including sauna and steam room; once you finish it, you must stay in the public lagoon area. I recommend the Ser Pass, which gives you a private changing/shower room. My only complaint is that the lotion ran out in two changing room (Ser Pass). I had to look for lotion everywhere. They should check and refill regularly.

What to know before visiting Reykjavik

Reykjavik at a glance: main activities and yearly rhythm

Reykjavik draws most Klook bookings for tours, outdoor & sports activities, and museum visits, with a steady spread of events and indoor options rounding out the list. Demand peaks in March and has a noticeable dip in May, so the city’s visitor rhythm alternates between lively high-season windows and quieter shoulder months.

When to visit: peak, off-peak and price patterns

According to Klook booking data, March is the busiest month while May sees the lowest demand. Prices, however, are highest in July and fall through late summer and into the following spring, with June showing the lowest typical prices in the available data. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower prices, consider travelling in May or early summer months; if you want peak-season atmosphere and more activity choices, aim for March or the summer months, keeping in mind prices tend to be higher in July. Overall, demand and prices don’t move perfectly together here — the busiest month is in spring while the priciest month sits in mid-summer — so pick dates based on whether you prioritise crowd levels or lower costs.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines book around a week ahead on average, with many last-minute options available a day or two out and early-booking behaviour extending to about a month. If your trip falls in the busy March window or in July, plan and reserve key tours and outdoor activities sooner rather than later; for quieter months you can be more flexible and still find good availability. Use Klook to compare schedules and lock in a few must-do experiences while leaving room to add spontaneous activities closer to your travel dates.
