Small-group Snæfellsnes day trip from Reykjavik, with Vatnshellir lava cave, Kirkjufell photos, waterfalls, and black sand coastlines.

“Our tour guide Alex made this tour so fun and was such a funny guy. This tour was so intriguing and beautiful.”
Walk inside Raufarhólshellir, one of Iceland’s longest lava tunnels, with round-trip Reykjavik transfer, helmets, headlamps, and live guide stories.
“This was a short tour of one hour but worth it. Our guide Stephanie was great at explaining complex subjects such as chemistry in simple and understandable terms. The reason for the 4* is the bus ride. We weren’t told when to come back to the bus for the return trip and got told that we were late. It was quite cold down in the tunnel and so dress warmly if you need to.”

Small-group ice cave hike from Jökulsárlón on Vatnajökull with crampons and helmet, blue-ice photos, flexible routing, about 2.5 hours.
“Our guide was great, and the ice cave itself is amazing. There's just too many people in the cave from multiple tours all trying to see it. And we were told it gets much more crowded at other times. I'm glad we went, just be prepared for it to be crowded”
Golden Circle geysers, Gullfoss spray, and a snowmobile on Langjökull plus a man-made ice cave stop, all from Reykjavik.
“Our guide was amazing - really knowledgeable and friendly. Kept us all informed, entertained and safe. All of the sites were stunning and the glacier was magical. Only thing we didn’t get to experience was the ice cave - not sure why this wasn’t included in the end, I am still waiting to hear back from the company on this as it was included in the title and highlights of the tour but we arrived back 2 hours earlier than expected. The transport was really comfortable, but be prepared for the steep climb in as steps weren’t available unfortunately but it is an impressive vehicle. Only other recommendation would be…”
Snorkel Silfra’s crystal-clear blue and explore a lava tunnel near Reykjavik in one small-group day with free photos and hot cocoa.
“I had several tours in Iceland, but this was the highlight. Our guide Norris ("You can call me Chuck") was great, and seemed to really enjoy showing us around. Silfra was just as beautiful as the photos would suggest, and the snorkelling guides were helpful and very safe. The lava tube was not as colorful as a limestone cave, but it was a unique experience in its own right and worth seeing.”
