2.3-Day Golden Circle, Ice Cave and Glacier Lagoon Small-Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 302 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $903.75

3 days mixing the Golden Circle with glacier lagoon and an ice cave. Small group, guided hikes, and two hotel nights included.

“Everything were great. We had a good use of 3 days to visit the key scenery spots of Iceland. Everything and everywhere were so natural and beautiful. Weather for the 2nd day was so awful with flooding so we were off track for Glacier/Diamond beach visit and Ice Cave; but guide Gunnar had been working so hard to get us back on track on the 3rd day and everyone had been highly satisfactory. Glacier/Diamond beach; ice cave and secret waterfall are all extremely fun and shouldn’t be missed!!! I recommend this trip to anyone going to Iceland and wanna make full use of their relatively short visits.”

Our guide Hakkon was wonderful and provided us with information around all of the different locations/ spots we stopped at. He was enthusiastic and fun and made the trip unforgettable. We felt that we were not comfortable driving ourselves around in the winter weather so opted for this multiple day tour and we were not disappointed! We were also able to store our big luggage at the head office which was very helpful. Thanks again!”

“The company was very professional, I liked both of my tour guides. Robert stayed with us for 2 days he was very nice. I love the little hotel where we stayed before going to the Blue Ice Cave, the only reason I don't give it a 5 is because my tour to the Ice cave was canceled due to weather conditions. I highly recommend this tour.”

“¡¡Excelente!! Kacper (Gasper) fue un excelente guía, desde el inicio explicó a detalle el itinerario, era muy amable y cálido al contestar las dudas, siempre tenía una sonrisa para el grupo. Hacía bromas de manera espontánea lo cual relajaba el ambiente grupal, excelente selección musical y elegía sus canciones para complementar sus historias lo cual apoya a generar recuerdos :) Nosotras éramos 3 y siempre nos sentimos cuidadas ya que explicaba las precauciones necesarias que debíamos tener en cada lugar. Las explicaciones de los lugares las narraba como si fueran un cuento, muy detallado 🙃 Lo mejor de todo es que se nota la pasión por su trabajo y la…”

9.3 Day Family Package

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 37 reviews · 3 days · from $341Best value

A 3-day family-friendly Iceland road trip with Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, and Snæfellsnes Peninsula, guided and picked up from Reykjavík.

“Nous avons vu une variété de paysages magnifiques. Notre guide du jour 2 était fantastique, encore merci à Sara pour son enthousiasme. En revanche deux aspects sont à améliorer : Le pick up par les bus est très mal organisé surtout si vous êtes à l’arrêt de bus numéro 12. En effet 4-5 bus arrivent en même temps et les guides assignés à chaque bus appellent les personnes de leur liste une par une. Vous devez donc tester chaque bus, attendre que le guide ait appelé tout le monde, avant de recommencer avec un autre bus jusqu’à trouver le bon. Il serait beaucoup plus pratique d’envoyer aux voyageurs le numéro…”
