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

I was hesitant to visit the blue lagoon as I heard from other visitors that it is full of tourists (whatever that means because they are and I also am one of them :) ) Unfortunately one of my tours was cancelled and asking some of the guides from other tours, they said I should definitely go. And I agree, going was the right decision, but I want to share some of the details so you know what to expect. It is really beautiful, no doubt but it was quite crowded (even in these times of low tourism) and as I heard this is not considered crowded to them. It did not feel like there was many people in the lagoon, but it was a completely different story in the locker area. That means, you may have to wait to be able to get in a shower before (you need to shower before entering the lagoon) and after. With the option I chose you get access to not very spacious common locker areas, where it may be hard to get dressed and pay attention to your belongings, use the toilet (there is only one in that locker area) in the other end of the room, etc. While they provide shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the showers, there is nowhere to put your own stuff other than the floor, in case you need to use your own personal hygiene products and they only provide one towel when you are out of the lagoon so you cannot dry after the first shower and when getting out of the lagoon. If you look in the right direction, you will have a beautiful volcanic landscape but there is also some buildings around it that I did not expect to see and the general look is a bit like a big swimming pool On the other hand, yes your skin will look amazing after soaking in the lagoon and having a mask on. The staff is kind and helpful and Lava restaurant is super yummy. I had the fish of the day (Atlantic wolffish) and it was probably one of the best white fish I ever had. And always a plus, their recommendation of wine pairing was super accurate. The transportation service was effective and runs regularly, plus it is comfortable with WiFi on board. Overall, I agree "If you go to Iceland, yo go to the Blue Lagoon" Experience it for your self as it is unique.

7. Fire giant's crib with G spot Iceland

G spot Iceland

Scientists believe that all Icelandic lava caves were created by volcanic eruptions. We at G spot Iceland are not so sure about it taking under consideration early settlers tales. As according to them caves were created by gods and those we will see were created by giant named Surtr. Cave was fire giant’s home once and with total length of 1970 m is the longest Icelandic lava tube. With its close neighbor Stefánshellir cave, combined length of tunnels reaches 3,5 km. Our unique exploration tour combines both mythological and geological aspects of lava cave genesis. G spot Iceland will take you for a journey through unique Icelandic landscape located at a Hallmundarhraun lava field next to Eiriksjokull glacier. Surtshellir and Stefánshellir caves offer impressive size hallways, unique lava formations, bandits activity signs. This is not a tour, this is an adventure. Grab your backpack, camera, put a smile on your face and let's start our journey-the way it should be done - G spot way.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, WiFi on board, Fresh Icelandic style hot-dogs made on a spot

8. Golden Circle & Friðheimar Farm - Private Tour

Reykjanes Tours

We begin our journey by driving to one of Iceland's most legendary sites, the national park of Þingvellir. This is the original home of the Althing, the world's oldest extant parliament, and this is where the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Next up is Haukadalur, home to hot springs that include the legendary Geysir (from which all geysers derive their name) and the still-active Strokkur. We will have lunch in Haukadalur, including some local delicacies. From there, it is only a 10 minute drive to Gullfoss (Golden Waterfall), one of Europe's most powerful waterfalls and considered by some to be the highpoint of this tour. Our next stop is Friðheimar, an Icelandic greenhouse where you can see (and perhaps taste) for yourself how Icelanders use renewable energy to grow vegetables. On our way back home, we stop to take a look at the scenic volcanic crater Kerið and get a chance to see many examples of lcoal horses and farms.

Inclusions: Bottled water, WiFi on board, Air-conditioned vehicle, All Fees and Taxes

Exclusions: Lunch

Our guide Was Kathy she took us to unique and beautiful sites in Iceland. I don’t think we would have had the same experience in a larger tour. She even got us reservations for the best dinner we had in Iceland.

9. Northern lights hunting with plan G

G spot Iceland

In Norse mythology, aurora was Bifrost a bridge between earth and asgard - home of goods. It was guarded by the Heimdal and destroyed during ragnarok. Some attributed the aurora to reflections from the shields of the Valkyries - women chosen by Odin to guide fallen warriors to Valhalla. Others believed their glow came from the beautiful Viking goddess Freja, riding horseback on the sky. These days we know aurora is caused by solar wind and thanks to science and technology we can predict it with high possibility. We would like to offer you private hunting away from bus tours at remote spots visited by very few with a optional plan G. With us you take no risk! We'll contact you day before tour to discuss viewing probability and if due to spoiled weather we cancel the tour you'll be refunded or offered different date. As for the plan G - if weather would be mixed we can get underground first, explore cave and after watch northern lights or the other way around depending on the weather.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, WiFi on board, Crampons and gloves for caving, Helmets with headlamps

10. Iceland's south coast G spots

G spot Iceland

This is one of the most popular routes in Iceland and for apparent reason.. there is a lot of different landscapes close to each other. We'll take you for a journey where you'll see one of the most beautiful non tropical beaches with black sand, we'll drive next to one of them most powerful volcanoes - including famous Eyjafjallajökull that has paralysed sky traffic during it's eruption at 2010. You'll be shown visible proof to climate changes one of Mýrdalsjökull glacier tongues that is melting rapidly. We'll visit one of the biggest waterfalls in country that was a site for few film sets and then we would drive to another 2 waterfalls where af first we would walk behind one of them and then we would get in to a a small canyon to see another one. If you'll need more time to take pictures don't worry we don't rush so you have time to enjoy the views.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, WiFi on board, All Fees and Taxes, nice shiny Icelandic gift
