This is a must do while in Iceland. A a tour that offers a variety of natural wonders and stops that makes the day one you will not forget. Visiting the family at Efstidalur farm is not offered by most tour company's but we would not want you to miss it for anything. Faxi waterfall is a hidden gem you will most likely experience all by yourself. The tomato farm is simply a magical place to stop and have a quick bite or a drink, or both!

Step into the ancient viking parliament Althing before visiting erupting geysers and magnificent waterfalls. We recommend a lunch stop at Efstidalur farm restaurant, where all the produce is made on the farm, or Fridheimar greenhouse, with home made tomato soup. Your private guide will make sure you have a memorable experience.

We had 9 people in our holiday party and this company was perfect for what we needed. Before we even booked, if I messaged them they replied promptly and were extremely helpful. They picked us up at the airport in a massive van with a trailer so all our luggage fit. Coming back they picked us up at 4am in the morning and the whole process of getting to the hotel and back to the airport was hassle free. Our plane came early but they were still there on time. The transfer wasn't the cheapest but it was worth it for the service and reliability. No waiting around. It was worth the extra dollars.

Our most popular tour. Our first stop takes Hveragerði, town sent in geothermal areas, where people work with energy. Next stop on the Kerið, the volcanic crater. Skálholt church historical sites, the is next stop place which is peaceful and informative. Next, you will visit the Geysir area in Haukadal where you can see the geysers, hot springs, steam vents and creepy blue algae. Churn is one of the largest and most powerful geysers and erupts almost every 5 minutes. Our last stop takes us to Thingvellir, where the Icelandic parliament was established first in the world in 1000. At Thingvellir, you will see how the earth is ever so slowly pulled apart by the North - American and Eurasian tectonic plates and you will be able to stand where Viking settlers stood for centuries the ruling law of the land.

My wife and I were supposed to go on tour with this group on Thursday, 13/05/2021 and we recieved an email the day before stateing the tour was canceled due to covid restrictions. This is odd as there were still tour groups doing tours, and had this been the real issue they should have told us sooner than a day prior. This short notice cost us a large amount of money in setting up a tour with a different group.

I decided to visit Iceland again when I heard about the eruption at Geldingadalur and contacted Discover Iceland. Georg took me on amazing private tour adventure around Reykjanes peninsula and we did 4 hours hike to Mt Fagradalsfjall and to experience the eruption just blew my mind. To see that lava spouting up from the earth and flowing down the mountains is an out of this world experience . Iceland is the land of Ice and Fire and Mountain Man Georg was full of knowledge, humour and passion for his country !Thanks I will be back again soon.

The nature lover´s paradise including Super Jeep action. Thorsmork or Þórsmörk lies in between mountains and glaciers carved out by weather and natural disasters through centuries. It is truly a paradise worth visiting. The Super Jeep helps getting you there safe and sound on its big tires. The Super Jeeps are specially modified here in Iceland to get you to remote areas regular cars can´t go. Nowhere else in the world you have the opportunity to get in one of those Jeeps and traverse through rough terrain and splashing in glacial rivers. Don´t let it slip you by!!!

We went to Iceland on the 17th March for 4 nights, on the 18th March we went to search for the northern lights as it was a really clear night. At first there was nothing, and our tour guide, Gunnar, said we would leave at 12 if the lights didn’t appear because people were getting tired and cold. Like magic, at 12 they started to show and got stronger and stronger, they were really visible and looked amazing! After everyone had taken pictures and enjoyed the lights, we all got back in the van to leave, when Gunnar shouted for us all to get back out again, when we stepped out of the van the sky was literally covered with dancing lights, it was so magical! Gunnar really wanted to make the experience the best he could for us all, and he took pictures of everyone under the lights. Making our trip even more special, my partner asked me to marry him under the lights and even though Gunnar had packed away his camera, he didn’t hesitate to go and get it back out again to take some personal, special pictures of me and my partner. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour and tour guide, thank you Gunnar!
