From Reykjavik, we drive to Raufarhólshellir, one of the most significant lava tunnels in Iceland, where a local guide will tell us all about its spectacular colors and rock formations. After an hour-long tour of the tunnel, we head to the beautiful Reykjanes Peninsula, home of the Reykjanes Geopark, UNESCO site and one of Iceland’s geological gems, a place rich in geothermal energy, seismic activity, and tectonic movements.

After all the sightseeing, we will make a stop at the Blue Lagoon. Here you will have time to walk around and take pictures or enjoy a coffee in the cafe overlooking the blue pool.

We booked 5 days private tour with Iceland Premium Tours, and we were hosted by none other than the CEO Orvar himself. He has been very accommodating towards our request, and provided his unparalleled understanding of Iceland itself. We have been hit by bad weather thru the week, he never stopped a moment to suggest alternate alternatives, without compromising of safety. When we were on the way to the airport, knowing that we did not managed to see the aurora, he took a last effort and drove us to a location for a last ditch effort. And we managed to catch a glimpse of it finally! Thank you Orvar!

In these uncertain times… When tourism became just a business. When all offered tours are overpriced and you became just a number in a crowded bus, when you want to feel special..

Unique landscapes, numerous types of volcanoes, open fissures and faults, geothermal areas and lava fields. You'll see inside out how whole process of land creation was happening. Unforgettable landscape, amazing forms, interesting history and subtle smell of mother nature. Amazing caves, steaming craters, hot pot bathing and nearly no tourists around us.

Took great care of us going through the lava tube and checking out some of the geysers and geothermal hot spots outside if Reykjavik. Totally above and beyond what we expected, highly recommend these guys to anyone visiting Iceland.

Like Ralph Waldo Emerson once said. Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Agenda is as simple as 2 + 2 first we’ll warm up hiking to our farthest destination, before descending into each cave we start with stretching, then exploration time and be ready for some squats, push-ups and more stretching ! More effort you put into these exercises more you’ll see and oh boy take our word for it, there is plenty to see ! Depending on your fit level we’ll see anywhere between 2 to 4 caves. So you’ll get some cardio/ work out day for sure. We do caving often and we know there is nothing better than warm bath after half a day spent underground in humid and cool environment but than again bath sounds sooo boring. Unless you are in Iceland where you can just simply submerge yourself in a natural hot geothermal stream... Found in a beautiful valley up in the mountains, enjoining tasty Icelandic style hot dog prepared with a help of hot springs!

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Fresh Icelandic style hot-dogs made on the spot, WiFi on board, Shiny gift to remember about us once you leave the island, Helmets, crampons, headlamps, gloves

This is a once in a lifetime experience you will never forget to an active volcano in Iceland! Join us on this unique experience to see the volcano at Geldingadalur, Iceland. You can expect a hike for about an hour and a half each way making this a combined hike of three to four hours through the rugged and raw terrain on the Reykjanes Peninsula. We focus on spending time at the volcano itself meaning we will stay by the eruption for at least two hours. We include photos on this tour, and try to view the volcano from different angles (weather depending).

Inclusions: Crampons (if needed), WiFi on board

Exclusions: Dinner

The experience of hiking to Fagradalsfjall was truly one for a lifetime, and James was the perfect guide....we did not know what to expect, but we couldn't have asked for more. James was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. From the minute he picked us up in Reykjavic, through the entire hike up to the volcano, James was truly the perfect guide. Once we got to the top viewing point for the volcano (and were in total awe of what we were seeing!), James even provided us with coffee. We hadn't even expected to go on this hike, but it ended up being the absolute highlight of our entire trip. If at all possible, book this experience with James/Glaciers and Waterfalls - there are two other big companies monopolizing tourism in Iceland, but we couldn't have been happier with James and loved the small, personal attention he was able to provide to us. Don't miss this!!! A+++

We traveled with Andres on this tour for two days. Such a beauty of nature starting with exhibition Lava centre in small town, we continue to several waterfalls and much more. Just to make it shorter, day later we visited glacier, glacial lagoon, diamond beach and else. Andres was very knowledgeable, he was willing to stop on some special spots so it was really private tour.

I booked two full day trips, transfers to and from airport and the Blue Lagoon with this company. We were a party of four adults that included two ‘seniors’ one of whom is disabled - me! All arrangements were agreed in writing and I was provided with a full, clear Itinerary for our stay. The drivers arrived at the expected time for each occasion and the vehicles were exceptionally good. They managed my scooter (and the luggage) cheerfully - both in actions and attitudes and I was treated with dignity at all times. The day trips in a 4 x 4 were outstanding and adjusted by agreement to meet the party’s desires and weather changes. Both of the young men who escorted our party were charming, informative and great company. By the end of both days, we were a family! Thank you so much Gisele and Audunn! Without doubt you can see the Golden Circle and the South Coast cheaper by coach tour or self-drive but neither can compare with the personal service and depth of knowledge about the island, it’s geography, society and culture provided by one’s own tour guide. The journeys in a 4 x 4 are more comfortable and exciting too!! If this is your first, your only or a special trip, don’t think twice about paying for the best if you can. This was my second visit to Iceland but hopefully not my last. Thank you Ao Thur for making it such fun and with more marvellous memories -again. Hugs Mary.

Just returned form Iceland. Christinn from Angler.is had organised my whole trip, fishing for Char, Brown trout and Salmon. The trip was extremely well organised, action packed with more fishing than you could ask for. The transfers were all on time and well organised, the accommodation was absolutely ideal with fantastic food. The fishing was brilliant, loads of Char, few trout and more Salmon than I have ever caught. Christinn guided me for all the fishing and was spot on every time and he also comfortably transported me to all locations.

We are very pleased to evaluate our guided trip to Iceland last May. Michael, our guide, made our trip amazing. We both said afterwards that this was the best trip that we have ever taken, and we have traveled to many different countries. Iceland, combined with Michael’s personality and knowledge of the country ensured that our trip was educational, fun, and adventuresome. We were on a private tour of southwestern Iceland with two friends from the United States (they are currently in the middle of Hurricane Florence so they might not be able to provide a review for awhile). We were full of questions and Michael was very knowledgeable and he answered all of our questions thoroughly. He taught us about the geology, history, and culture. He knew exactly what was important for us to see on our private tour. We were picked up at our hotel and we toured around in a SUV. We trusted Michael’s driving throughout our seven-day trip. There were no glitches in our accommodations and the places we stayed in were ready for us at each destination. The tour was very carefully formulated. Our guide knew when to give us space and when to engage with us. We were all senior citizens and we were taken on tours that accommodated our age and different physical abilities. The icing on the cake was Michael’s personality. We enjoyed so many laughs and giggles on the trip. He was warm and respectful of us. Would we do this tour or any other tour with Michael again? Absolutely. Thank you Michael! Heather Coleman and Don Collins

BJ gave us an excellent tour of the Rekjanes peninsula showing us sights we had not seen before. He was very informative and had a great deal of knowledge of the area. While the weather wasn't ideal being from Minnesota we are use to it we forged ahead seeing many great sight in ways many people rarely see. This gave us many great photos. Highly recommend BJ and BTH travel.
