Great 4.0
I took away a star because of half hour of false fire alarm preventing sleep.

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...

On the way there, we stopped for a 15-minute break to buy lunch, then headed straight to Vik. From there, we transferred to a Super Jeep for about half an hour to reach the glacier, where we put on crampons and helmets. We then walked for about 10-15 minutes to enter the ice cave. It was extremely cold due to heavy rain/snow. The ice cave wasn't very big, but it was beautiful and definitely worth seeing. On the return trip, we stopped at two waterfalls before heading back to the city.

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.

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 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.

It was absolutely a wonderful trip for us. The bus was so comfortable that we did not feel tired though the travelling distance was more than 800km. Geri who was our guide was a wonderful guide. We were able to see the iceberg and other natural heritages of the South Coast. Absolutely amazing!!!!

What to know before visiting Reykjavik

Reykjavik at a glance — tours, outdoors and culture

Reykjavik’s top bookings on Klook cluster around tours, outdoor & sports activities and museums, so the city works as a base for guided sightseeing, nature-focused adventures and cultural stops. Demand follows a pronounced seasonal rhythm, with a clear summer peak and far quieter months in early autumn.

Best time to visit — crowds vs prices explained

Klook booking data shows July as the busiest month and September as the quietest. Prices across the year don’t exactly mirror demand: although July is the peak for visitors, Klook’s past bookings typically show July among the lowest price months while June tends to be the priciest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, target September or the shoulder months when demand eases; if you want peak-season atmosphere and the busiest summer offerings, aim for July. The mismatch between peak demand and peak prices means you can often enjoy a lively summer vibe without the very highest activity prices.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States book around ten days in advance, so planning a bit ahead helps secure popular tours and outdoor activities, especially in the busiest month of July. Last-minute options do exist — some experiences can be booked a day out — but if you’re travelling in peak season consider locking in bookings earlier. Use Klook to compare available tour and activity options and grab tickets once your dates are set.
