Reykjavik Adventure Trips

Erla was an incredible guide! She was so much fun to travel with for the week and shared tons of knowledge with us. Great group and a perfect balance of activities and downtime. 10/10 would do again!

We had such an amazing time in Iceland, made all the better by our fabulous guide and driver. The tour was fairly fast-paced, but left some time for exploration of local sights and experiences around the itinerary. As very active people, it was sometimes a bit frustrating not to be able to do extended walks in some places, but we are turning this into a positive by having a wish list for a future visit to explore certain areas more on an independent holiday. We feel our guide really did make the trip even better than it already was - she knew so much about each area, and we made extra stops along the way to visit some places off the beaten track that she knew which were not listed on the itinerary. This went a long way to making us feel more like 'locals' rather than the many, many tourists who we saw doing the Golden Circle on the last day. In fact, we felt sorry for those people, who probably only saw a fraction of what Iceland has to offer, while this longer tour offered us a much broader range of experiences. Must-do extras on the tour - the thermal baths in Akureyri (go early in the morning - they are just over the road from the hotel), the lava show in Vik, and the Reykjavik Fish Restaurant in Rainbow Street - an excellent vibe with the most reasonably-priced food we found. A great first night of your holiday visit. Save your pennies and do this trip!!!

I've been describing this experience as "magical." I only signed up for this trip about 6 weeks prior and didn't know what to expect, but the experience was far greater than I ever could have imagined. I have 16 new friends/travel buddies who I fully intend to keep in touch with and reminisce about this trip for years to come.

What a fantastic trip. Iceland is so full of natural wonder its hard to know what to highlight. The first thing is our guide; a passionate Icelander who brought everything to life and told us all about the detail we might otherwise miss. We saw blue sky, sunshine and a dusting of snow for the first 3 days then overcast and finally rain and blasts of strong wind. Nothing the weather could throw at us could marr the beauty and splendour of Iceland. Everything from dormant and dead volcanic craters, thermal baths, glaciers and their iceburgs, larva fields, waterfalls....the list goes on and on. Lastly, the public - open air - swimming pools and their hot tubs are a must. They refresh you, offer you the chance to wind down and relax and are absolutely wonderful. Do go!

It was a trip of a lifetime. Iceland was beautiful, the people in the group were fantastic travel companions. The extra excursions were memorable. Wish there had been northern lights.

Iceland is a magical place! We had a fabulous time exploring different parts of the island, and had a well-curated list of attractions and experiences. Our travel agent put together an excellent itinerary for our very active family, with lots of varied options to choose from. He also made himself readily available for questions, and handled a near-crisis beautifully when our upcoming accommodation had a plumbing problem - he re-booked us at a fantastic hotel before we even knew there was an issue. I would have liked a trip summary page simply with location names, drive times, recommended visit timing, and map links (note that these items were included in the longer, detailed itinerary). However, as we discovered, Iceland is very easy to navigate. Our accommodations were excellent, and restaurant recommendations were spot-on.
