Our driver was a local, super informative -- and funny! Enjoyed learning a little more about this fascinating place from a local,

Clean, well-organized, and tons of fun. Our driver was very informative and helpful, and he was prompt.

One of the highlights of our trip. The host of this show was very informative, and it was amazing to see real lava in person after watching so many hours of Floor is Lava at home!

This activity was really cute. My kids loved the binoculars onboard and the very informative Puffin expert.

We arrived over an hour early and they were able to move us to an earlier boat. The guide was really nice. I liked that the guide talked the colors of the ice and what they were. We even got to touch a piece of ice as well as taste it! I felt this tour was a good length of time. We were able to walk around the park afterwards.

I was a bit confused where to meet but eventually made my way over after parking. It was a warm day and I was surprised that it was just as warm up the glacier. Our guide prepped us with ice pick and crampons for our shoes (some people didn't have the correct shoes and they had extra hiking shoes for those people). We took a 20 min 4x4 bus ride to the glacier. The off road part is really bumpy! Then, we hiked up to a base area where we put in our crampons. Our instructor was a glacier hiker from Finland. He gave us lessons on how to walk up and down with crampons on the ice. I went from nervous to confident in a very short time. We even got to look down a steep hole in the glacier. I highly recommend this tour. Definitely a highlight. We got lucky with the weather, too!

Definitely one of the highlights of the tour for my daughter. I had to back out after an injury and was refunded for that. They meet at the barn. The guides explain the difference between the way Icelandic horses walk and American horses. Icelandic horses tölt and American horses trot. Then, all got on horses and they walked along the black sand beach in Vik. I drove over to the beach and watched them. Everyone was smiling and giddy at the end.

My daughter loved this and we lucked out with sunny weather. They provide binoculars as you can't get too close. Nice tour guide. We saw lots of puffins!

This was our first stop after arriving. It was such a wonderful intro to Iceland. We loved going through the ritual. I was nervous about all the lagoons on our trip before arriving but I'm glad these were added.

Great location in the heart of Vik. There's a bar and restaurant, which have an incredible view. Lots of parking. Rooms were nice, good size bathroom, and smart TVs. The beds were clean and nice.

What a cute hotel! There was breakfast, and a restaurant on site. The rooms were darling and had very comfortable beds. The TVs are not smart tvs so you're limited to like 6 channels. There's a gym, and there's a Bonus grocery store right behind the hotel. Walking distance to a food hall, but it would be a pretty far walk to downtown where the shops and restaurants are.

Such a cool hotel! It has a spa pool and a sauna. A bar that stays open until 11. There's room service and a restaurant on site. The rooms are modern but cozy. You can get Netflix on the TV. We saw the northern lights from our walk out. You also get some prosecco when you arrive, which doesn't hurt a bit.

The super jeep tour was so cool! Picked us up from the hotel and drove us out about an hour and half. They stopped and looked for the lights, then would move us to another location looking for them. We found them! They set up a camera on a tripod and take your pictures with the lights in the background. The guide even had hot chocolate for everyone... And a lil something special to add to it if you liked. Great tour!

Wow you will not regret going here!! Pay for the bigger package because it's totally worth it. There's a restaurant inside and a small gift shop. The locker room is private with showers. There's a swim up bar in the lagoon. The seven step rituals were absolutely incredible and not to be missed.

Such a neat experience! You have to wear thermal underwear of some sort and warm socks. You put on a suit, and then a dry suit over it. It is tight, and uncomfortable around the neck and wrists - but it's to keep the 2°c water out sooo it's worth it. There's a short walk to the entry point. We had to wait about 20 mins to get into the water because of other groups ahead of us. Once you are in the water, it naturally propels you and the suit loosens up a bit. You barely have to do work. Our guide was funny and nice. At the end we all drank hot chocolate and talked about the experience.

Get out at night and look up! Laugerbakki was interesting place to stay. Lamb Inn Guesthouse was nice to be out of the city but the water definitely has an animal odor so that was not great

The Silica hotel was a wonderful way to end our trip and relax for the day. It was wonderful to have an area away from the crowds at the main pools but go to the main pool for the masks!! The water and setting and stunning!

Loved being out on the water. If its cool out its a brave moment to get from pool to pool. Beautiful at sunset. Waterfall nearby also worth a drive

So fun but bring good gloves and shoes

So fun for us, but we love buggys. The geyser was nice treat with it. It does become crowded here so be prepared

Beaches and ice!! Stunning views

Not very extensive spaces but very cool to experience

Great way to experience the glaciers and learn more about their history. Totally worth the experience even with the snowmobile tour Maria was a fantastic guide

Different way to see the area and experience the glacier. Might not be for everyone, but if you like a snowmobile its a great experience. Mike was a fantastic guide

Beautiful area and glad we had tours scheduled but we had to readjust to the crowds :-)

Rugged and steep. Complete eye candy. Wish we could have stopped at the reindeer preserve Mud baths were amazing and we loved the lava rock at Dimmuborgir were incredible. Spend enough time to do the larger loop Staying in the hostel that night was our least favorite spot but food at the Nordic Inn was amazing

Loved these baths but we were there in a storm so hard to talk about the view, but the pools definitely took the night’s chill off and the staff was wonderful!

Beautiful spot and very peaceful! Wish we could have more time in Akureryi

Beautiful area! Peaceful especially in early Autumn. A little foggy so perhaps we missed some of the views, but the area itself was soul healing. Explore the local hot pots and eat with locals at Tjorhusid! What an experience and the food was A-Mazing!! The stop for lunch at LitleBaer Farm- completely worth it!! If you are buying an Icelandic swester - buy from her, her mother and grandmother make them!! And they have gluten free waffles

Nicer ferry we have been on. There are beds for resting and great coffee with free refills

Amazing experience and a great way to shed jet lag! Definitely do the 7step ritual.
