Reykjavík

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.

Wspaniała wycieczka! Nasz przewodnik to emerytowany Islandczyk, który ma ogromną wiedzę. Przyniosłem ze sobą przekąski i postanowiłem zrezygnować z obiadu w restauracji. Przewodnik zorganizował mi malowniczy szlak turystyczny wokół miasteczka Arnarstapi. Gorąco polecam!

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!

najpopularniejsza jednodniowa wycieczka po Islandii. Nasz przewodnik był kompetentny, najwyraźniej operatorzy poprosili wszystkich przewodników o przygotowanie się. Podczas gdy krater był taki sobie, wodospad Gullfoss był wspaniały i oszałamiający. Udało nam się również podjechać na małą farmę i pogłaskać kilka islandzkich koni, które są tak urocze. Mam nadzieję, że cena może być nieco niższa.

Wodospady Skógafoss i Seljalandsfoss, tęcza przy wodospadzie 🌈. Przejmujące zimno, wyjący wiatr i ulewny deszcz. Naturalne piękno zjawiska załamania światła. Byłem świadkiem magii załamania światła natury przy Skógafoss i Seljalandsfoss. Udało mi się złapać tęczę na obu! 🌈 #Reynisfjara czarna plaža warunki były okropne, mimo zachowania bezpiecznej odległości zostałem faktycznie wciągnięty przez zdradliwą falę (sneaker wave). W tym samym momencie pomyślałem: „Jeśli teraz umrę, moja rodzina dostanie przynajmniej 12 milionów ubezpieczenia”. #Lodowiec Przyglądając się z bliska lodowcowi, biel nie była zwykłą bielą, jaką znam, lecz naturalną bielą z refleksami światła, urzekającą pod każdym możliwym kątem🌟. Naturalna biel z załamaniem światła, hipnotyzująca z każdego jednego kąta…. # #

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!

Odbyłem trzy jednodniowe wycieczki z Reykjaviku i ta jest moją ulubioną. Będziesz miał okazję zobaczyć jedne z najbardziej ikonicznych miejsc w Islandii, takie jak Skogarfoss i plaża Reynisfjara. Gorąco polecam!

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.
