Which Tour Should I Choose?
The South Coast, Golden Circle, and Snæfellsnes Peninsula tours offer distinct experiences.
The South Coast tour is perfect for those seeking an adventure amidst glaciers, featuring more walking activities.
Opt for the Golden Circle tour to explore the Silfra fissure, involving snorkeling between tectonic plates. Alternatively, you can skip snorkeling and visit an Icelandic farm with homemade Ice Cream!
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour is tailored for less adventurous travelers, with fewer physical activities. However, it offers a glimpse into the highly volcanic region with some of the most breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife, including wild seals.
Frequently Asked Questions

Iceland has its magical, mystical feelings all year round, no matter in which season you are traveling. If you are coming during the summer months, expect the never-ending midnight sun and nature blooming in any direction you look. If you are coming during winter, you can expect the scenery to change into the white mountains and the darkness. However, the snow always brightens Iceland up, therefore it does not feel as dark, once the moonlight and northern lights shine above the snowy terrain.
If you are passing some beautiful place that you got to know about and it's not in the itinerary, you can always ask your guide to make an ''extra'' stop. The option of adding a stop however depends on a few things - whether we have enough time to make the extra stop, and whether everyone is fine with the extra location you would like to visit.
However, feel free to ask your guide while on the road :)
