Things to do in Thingvellir National Park

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

relaxing day trip. Guide (lady) was friendly and accomodating, answered all our questions and added stops when we had time!

Faxafoss was a nice surprise, a smaller waterfall with almost no crowds, and a good spot for photos. Our guide knew all the quiet stops. Great day trip from Reykjavik.

This day tour combined the two most popular sites—the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon in one day. The price add-on for the Blue Lagoon is actually cheaper than arranging the transfer from the airport or Rekyjavik and entrance by myself. Maybe less exciting than the South Coast or Snaefellness Peninsula, but a good introduction to Iceland. I am glad that I did it on my first day out of Rekyjavik.

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.

We were suddenly notified the day before that our Chinese-speaking tour was changed to an English-speaking tour. We hope that if there are any changes to the itinerary, we can be informed a bit earlier so we can evaluate alternative plans. Everyone was told to arrive at the meeting point half an hour early to wait for the bus, but the bus arrived later than the scheduled meeting time, and there was no proactive notification, which made the participants anxious. Other than that, everything else was quite good, and some of Iceland's scenery is truly magnificent and beautiful!

we really enjoyed it. he really worked so hard to give us a great experience and view of the northern lights!

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.

Guide Skarp is wonderful. Throughout the entire tour, he didn't stop explaining—from details about the passing villages to thorough explanations of each point of interest. Also, thank you for checking in on me when I was by myself. Even though it was a very large group, it was a fun and enjoyable experience. Even if you aren't fluent in English, if you record and use translation tools or GPT, you will understand 100% (even the jokes). Just keep in mind that the Secret Lagoon is an older place, so try to overlook its flaws haha.
