  • Teresa P.
I loved the whole trip. Being able to see a lot of the beautiful scenery in a warm bus was great.! The hikes were awesome. The glacier hike was thrilling. Waterfalls were gorgeous. Seeing the northern lights was outstanding! People in the group were awesome. The glacier lagoon with all the ice formations was spectacular! The pace was perfect. Gisli gave us so much history and info about the different areas. Great trip!

Great trip. Except the information re the fly is was incorrect. You have to change at the bus terminal to get to the hotel. It doesn’t go straight to the airport as I was told prior to going.
Don’t just go to see the Northern Lights.

Despite some clear skies the solar activity was low so we did not managed to see the Northern Lights on our tour in Feb 2024. Despite this there is lots packed into this short tour including seeing the sights of the so called Golden Circle (Gullfoss Waterfall; Geysir & Pingvellir) as well as the stunning glacier lagoon and black sand beaches. The highlight however was the walk on the glacier. The weather was perfect so we also managed to get into the ice cave.
