One island, one list, strongest bookings first. These 15 run ahead of the field today. Every entry states its fare, the hours it eats and the sort of visitor it repays; anything not shortlisted waits further down the page for dates these cannot cover.
Reykjavik Golden Circle day trip by bus: Strokkur geyser, Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir rift valley, Kerid crater, plus Hveragerdi break. 7-8.5h.
“The tour was amazing, seeing the waterfall and geezer. wWalking along the tetonic plates was incredible. Our tour guide was so informative and we were able to ask questions.”
Reykjavik Food Walk is a 3-hour small-group trek with 8+ Iceland tastings, street bites, and city history, starting at Harpa.
“The hubs and I went on this tour our first night in Reykjavik. Mimar (M&M) was our food guide. Not only were all the food stops delicious, M&M gave us a mini history lesson while walking to each location. The weather that night was not on our side but none of us minded since M&M made the tour so much fun!”
Reykjavik evening bus hunt for the Northern Lights. 4 hours, photo stops, and a free retry if aurora stays elusive.
“Sunny was super cool! (And the driver who’s name I forgot to ask 🌹) 🫶🏻 It was a spectacular experience, 30 min of Aurora Boreale above our heads. Baked eye: white shimmering curtain crossing the sky (not yet night time, stars were showing, sun was setting). Through my iPhone 11 camera, wow colours and astonishment, truly amazing, green and purple, what a show. Wowowowowow thank you for this experience 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩”
A full-day south coast tour from Reykjavik with Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, black sand at Reynisfjara, Vík, and Sólheimajökull glacier ice.
“We rebooked this tour because the first time it was cancelled due to weather and a tour to the west coast was offered instead. You can check out that review bellow. This is about the south coast. Truly beautiful! The waterfalls are really impressive. I liked that I could get close to them. Bring waterproof clothes, you will get wet. The glacier was by far my favourite from this tour. Seeing it so close and seeing the newly formed lagoon and icebergs was unique. Our guide, Petra, was really kind and helpful. Loved it!”
3-hour whale watching from Reykjavík in Faxaflói Bay, with trained guides, heated cabins, onboard WiFi, and a good shot at whales year-round.
“Everything ran smoothly. Staff were friendly and informative. We saw humpback whales who made many appearances while we were out on the water. As a large family we used this company as it was such great value in having much lower child prices than the adult prices. Would highly recommend”
Sky Lagoon’s oceanfront geothermal spa in Reykjavik with a guided 7-step bathing ritual, private or shared facilities, and sunset views.
“Wonderful place and good staff. A very interesting experience!!!”
Full-day Golden Circle bus tour with Secret Lagoon swimming, Strokkur geyser, Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir plates, and Kerið crater.
“Wow! Just wow! A brilliant trip from start to finish. Wrap up warm whilst waiting for the bus to arrive, it was so cold. Our guide Ava was full of knowledge with a brilliant sense of humour. Snook in a couple of extra stops too. Particularly enjoyed Gulfoss & the lagoon. *Tip - buy a waterproof pouch for your phone before you go so you can take photos & videos in the water. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend. 🥰”
Small-group South Coast day trip from Reykjavik with waterfalls, Sólheimajökull glacier views, Reynisfjara black sand, and Vík. Wi-Fi onboard.
“While we did enjoy this full day trip covering lots of amazing sights, we felt our guide Joe (who was friendly and accommodating) could have provided a more meaningful and informative commentary throughout. Information was the bare minimum about each stop with no Icelandic background history or interestjng tidbits. Our other trips in Iceland were more fun and fact-filled.”
Small-group Golden Circle, Kerid Crater and Blue Lagoon Comfort ticket from Reykjavik, with hotel pickup and onboard Wi-Fi.
“AMAZING day !!! Walter our bus president made this trip even more special . The knowledge he has is amazing he is the best tour guide we have ever had . All the stops where amazing and life changing . The blue lagoon is Wow we felt like new people after it .”
Soak in Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater with included mask, towel, and drink, plus sauna and steam rooms at Svartsengi.
“Overall great experience, can’t fault the place or the staff, both are amazing!! Both get 5 star! I would just say though it’s quite expensive and expect big crowds and lots of people trying to take the perfect instagram picture 🤣 we arrived for 10am on a weekday and it was already busy. We felt in the way all the time when we were there to relax and then people expecting you to move when you were trying to relax just to take a picture from a better angle. If you want a more authentic experience and you want to enjoy it rather than take loads of pictures I would…”
Golden Circle Classic from Reykjavik hits Thingvellir, Geysir and Strokkur, plus Gullfoss, with pickup options and guided stops in one long day.
“The Coach and Tour Comoany Jewel didn't show up to collect us at our hotel at 0930. They said they couldnt find the hotel. Contacted Viator who offered a 1200noon with the same company. We agreed to then be told it was full and not available. And book an alternative date. Unfortunately we were on our last day, which put a downer on our holiday. Viator made excuses for the Tour company which fell on deaf ears as thats what I do for a living in Ireland. Disgraceful treatment.”
Small-group Reykjavik walk with a local guide, covering Hallgrímskirkja, Harpa, old harbor, and City Hall in about 2 hours.
“Excellent tour around the city. Ari, our tour guide was fantastic and humorous. He shared so much information about Iceland and the capital city of Reykjavík. Excellent beginning to our vacation in Iceland. Would definitely recommend!!”
Swim between Iceland’s tectonic plates in Silfra, in a guided drysuit snorkel with warm gear, hot cocoa, and jaw-dropping clarity.
“The guides were super helpful with us getting into the gear. Good safety briefing and short walk to the snorkeling. Gave us plenty of time for viewing and taking in the adventure. Wow, so great. Loved every second! Thank you!!!”
