Our tour guide Baldwin was amazing. He gave a wealth of knowledge about Iceland during our entire ride to each location. All the lush history and explanation of technology that the Icelandic people have implemented in their society and way of life gave us a large sense of awe and appreciation.

No fue la actividad contratada inicialmente, recibida modificación 12 horas antes por mail. Cambio de recorrido y, sobre todo, de duración. Una excursión de 16 horas es demasiado extensa, cuando estaba previsto un máximo de 10 horas (en info oficial), salir a las 6.50 h del hotel y regresar a las 23 horas es una paliza física. No es de recibo cambiar las condiciones previstas con tan poca antelación. Muy mala experiencia, lo tendremos en cuenta para próximas experiencias. 1 de 10.

The activity was not as initially booked, and a change was received via email just 12 hours prior. The route and, most importantly, the duration were changed. A 16-hour excursion is far too long when the official information indicated a maximum of 10 hours. Leaving the hotel at 6:50 a.m. and returning at 11:00 p.m. is physically exhausting. Changing the agreed-upon conditions with such short notice is unacceptable. A very poor experience; we will keep this in mind for future trips. 1 out of 10.

Todo estuvo muy bien, solo en la descripción del tour dice que se da un paseo en la playa negra de reynisfjara y en vik y realmente la parada fue solo para comprar de comer y seguir no pudimos pasear en la playa ni subir a la iglesia de vik.

Everything was great, except the tour description mentions a walk on Reynisfjara's black sand beach and in Vik, but the stop was only to buy food and continue on; we couldn't walk on the beach or go up to the church in Vik.

Las vistas durante el recorrido son impresionantes, nuestro guía nos dio muchísima información sobre Islandia, la cual encontramos realmente sorprendente. El tour es 100% recomendable, son muchas horas de recorrido, pero vale la pena llegar hasta el lago y ver los iceberg del glaciar! Muchas gracias a nuestro guía quien nos hizo de un viaje largo, una experiencia de cultura para recordar. Translate this opinion into English.

The views during the tour are impressive, our guide gave us a lot of information about Iceland, which we found really surprising. The tour is 100% recommended, it takes many hours, but it is worth getting to the lake and seeing the icebergs of the glacier!

La excursión fue muy bonita y la guía maravillosa Aconsejable 100x100 Solo me desfraudo Skogafoss ,el tiempo que nos dieron para ver la cascada de fue ir corriendo hacer 4 fotos y volver corriendo Fue una decepción porque me hubiera gustado tener 5 minutos para estar mirándola y disfrutar de lo preciosa que es Luego nos paran 45 minutos para ver tiendas, Luego me compenso que vimos las auroras a la vuelta, la guía hizo para dos veces al guía para que las viéramos y fui súper feliz al verlas, Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was very beautiful and the guide was wonderful. 100% recommended. Only Skogafoss disappointed me; the time they gave us to see the waterfall was just a rush to take four photos and rush back. It was a disappointment because I would have liked to have five minutes to look at it and enjoy how beautiful it is. Then they stopped us for 45 minutes to look at shops. However, I was compensated for by seeing the Northern Lights on the way back. The guide made us stop twice so we could see them, and I was so happy to see them. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una experiencia única, todas las actividades ofertadas se realizaron de forma organizada, realmente la logística del viaje muy bien dirigida. Los lugares visitados son impresionantes!!!!! De todas las visitas, fue muy impactante ver y sentir la fuerza de la naturaleza de la cascada de Skógafoss. La visita al glaciar fue muy relajante, te permite realizar fotografías increíbles.

La excursión está bien pero ponen más tiempo para tomar un café que para ver los puntos de interés. Ejemplo, paramos en Vik para tomar un café 40 min y solo 20 minutos para ver la última cascada que era impresionante y se tardaba en dar la vuelta por detrás. Por otro lado, el precio es demasiado alto para no incluir el paseo en bote por los icebergs, que nos cobraron otros 40€.

The tour is good but they give you more time to have a coffee than to see the points of interest. For example, we stopped in Vik for a 40-minute coffee and only 20 minutes to see the last waterfall, which was impressive and took a long time to go around the back. On the other hand, the price is too high to not include the boat ride around the icebergs, which they charged us another 40€.

La descripción no es exacta, solo realiza 3 paradas: dos cascadas y el glaciar Jökulsárlón para finalizar. Las paradas con muy poco tiempo para visitar los lugares, salvo la parada del glaciar que dan más tiempo, el resto a penas unos 12 minutos. Es algo estresante. Hay una parada para comer en Vik donde está la playa de arena negra, pero la guía te dice que es una parada para comer de 45 minutos y a penas te da tiempo a comer y ver la playa demasiado rápido. Paisajes espectaculares.

The description is not exact, it only makes 3 stops: two waterfalls and the Jökulsárlón glacier to finish. The stops are very short on time to visit the places, except for the glacier stop where they give you more time, the rest are barely 12 minutes. It is a bit stressful. There is a stop to eat in Vik where the black sand beach is, but the guide tells you that it is a 45-minute stop to eat and you barely have time to eat and see the beach too quickly. Spectacular landscapes.

Para respetar la duración indicada y realizar un recorrido lo más variado posible, varias de las localizaciones se observan desde cierta distancia. Aun así, hemos confirmado que se distinguen y que los guías imparten contenidos sobre ellas. Sentimos, aun así, si la experiencia no fue como se esperaba. Translate this opinion into English.

In order to keep to the indicated duration and to make the tour as varied as possible, several of the locations can be seen from a distance. However, we have confirmed that they are recognizable and that the guides provide information about them. We are sorry, however, if the experience was not as expected. Opinion translated.

La actividad ha ido muy bien. Pero creo que tenemos poco tiempo para cada parada y hay que hacerlas a contrarreloj. Entiendo que es una excursión muy larga, pero quizás sería mejor no parar tanto para comer y si la parada es comida más ver un lugar es imposible disfrutar. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity has gone very well. But I think we have little time for each stop and we have to do them against the clock. I understand that it is a very long excursion, but perhaps it would be better not to stop so much to eat and if the stop is food plus seeing a place it is impossible to enjoy. Opinion translated.

A pesar de que lo que se visitó fue muy bonito y espectacular, el título de la actividad e incluso parte de la descripción resulta engañosa, pues lo más cerca que se estuvo de un glaciar fue a 5km, yo pensaba tanto por la descripción y título como por el precio de la actividad, que nos dejarían a los pies de algún glaciar o al menos poder verlo de cerca. Por lo demás, guía y conductor estupendos

Despite the fact that what was visited was very beautiful and spectacular, the title of the activity and even part of the description is misleading, because the closest that was to a glacier was 5km, I thought so much from the description and title as for the price of the activity, that they would leave us at the foot of a glacier or at least be able to see it up close. Otherwise great guide and driver

Dependiendo de la normativa local o del estado de los glaciares es posible que no se pueda parar en los mismos. Aun así, en nuestra web especificamos las paradas que se realizan durante la visita, y hemos confirmado que la actividad se hizo al completo. Sentimos si no ha sido como esperabas.

Depending on local regulations or the state of the glaciers, it may not be possible to stop on them.

En general bien. Ves paisajes salvajes y sorprendentes.. Las cascadas impresionantes, aunque había mucho hielo que dificultaba caminar bien. Son Muchas horas de autobús, y al final no hemos podido ver los glaciares por las condiciones de la carretera. La última parada antes de volver demasiado larga, ya que era una estación de servicio para comer, al final del día.

Generally good. You see wild and surprising landscapes. The impressive waterfalls, although there was a lot of ice that made it difficult to walk well. There are many hours by bus, and in the end we have not been able to see the glaciers due to the conditions of the road. The last stop before going back too long, as it was a gas station to eat, at the end of the day.

El Tour incluye todo lo descrito. Los paisajes por los que discurre la carretera que lleva a las distintas paradas son espectaculares. Por poner alguna pega, la parada en la cascada Seljalandsofss la hicimos a la vuelta,ya de noche.A mi modo de ver, hubiera sido preferible hacer la parada en el viaje de ida, de día,y haber tenido la posibilidad de hacer el recorrido y acceder detrás.Elnlago Jokursalon y Diamond Beach impresionantes. Excursión recomendable.

The Tour includes everything described. The landscapes through which the road that leads to the different stops runs are spectacular. To put some downside, we made the stop at the Seljalandsofss waterfall on the way back, at night. In my opinion, it would have been preferable to make the stop on the outward journey, during the day, and have had the possibility of doing the tour and access behind. Lake Jokursalon and impressive Diamond Beach. Recommended tour.

Tras tener que posponerla por el mal tiempo, no pudimos realizarla entera puesto que nos sorprendió una gran nevada por lo que que cerraron las carreteras, aunque finalmente pudimos regresar al hotel. Eso si la guía Martina de 10, muy atenta con todos y buscando alternativas por si no mejoraba el temporal. El chofer también. Lo poco que pudimos ver impresionante.

After having to postpone it due to bad weather, we could not carry it out entirely since we were surprised by a heavy snowfall, so the roads were closed, although we were finally able to return to the hotel. That if the guide Martina of 10, very attentive to everyone and looking for alternatives in case the storm did not improve. The driver too. What little we could see impressive.

Excursión imprescindible. Como en casi todas las excursiones te recomiendo llevar comida y bebida en una mochila para no perder tiempo y disfrutarlo viendo cosas además de ahorrar dinerillo. La hicimos en Febrero y fue precioso. Lleva ropa impermeable para las cascadas ya que de lo contrario te mojarás bastante si te acercas a ellas o si quieres pasar por detrás del agua (si es verano no pasa nada, ya te secarás). Hay mucho tiempo de autobús pero los paisajes lo compensan. Qué maravilla! Translate this opinion into English.

Essential excursion. As in almost all excursions, I recommend you carry food and drink in a backpack to avoid wasting time and enjoy seeing things in addition to saving money. We did it in February and it was beautiful. Take waterproof clothing for the waterfalls, otherwise you will get quite wet if you get close to them or if you want to go behind the water (if it is summer nothing happens, you will dry up). There is a lot of bus time but the landscapes make up for it. Wonderful! Opinion translated. Show original.
