Highly recommended

We booked for the canyon baths. They were amazing and so natural and private, surrounded by lava fields. Both guides, Axil and Freys, were super friendly and helpful. Even picking wild blueberries and craw berries for us to try. We stopped at a perfect viewing spot for the eclipse - though the clouds didn’t behave! Super special because it was a small group.

It was a nice enough...

It was a nice enough tour, but I was expecting more stories and folklore as "sagas." We didn't get any such stories except for a little history. The first waterfall is more of a rapid and could be replaced with something else. The other two waterfalls were definitely worth seeing. The horse farm was enjoyable and interesting. There may not be another option for the lunch break, but one should be found. The buffet was very overpriced and limited. The canyon baths would have been great if the water had been hot, but it was lukewarm and not quite hot enough to overcome the cold and wind. The biggest complaint, though, is being put with another group that was going to a lava cave instead of the canyon baths. We did not go to the dwarf dwellings that were on the itinerary, probably because the guide had to get the others to the cave. We were told to wait for the shuttle to the baths but were not given warning that it would be 30 minutes of waiting in cold weather. These two tour options should not be combined in one bus. I cannot recommend this tour if it will be combined with another one.

Icelands tour a must.

Have proper rain gear and hat and mittens and be prepared to see things never seen before. Knowledgeable guide and careful driver.

Peaceful and relaxing spring with beautiful Mountain View’s.

We visited three hot springs during our trip to Iceland. On the day we went to the canyon it was raining , and besides our family of 4 there was only one traveler. This place was so relaxing and peaceful. The spring was surrounded by mountains with gorgeous views. My mom loved it so much that she keeps talking about it. I definitely recommend it.

Serene tour of lesser visited sites

This tour takes in some stunning but often overlooked sites. Firstly, a magnificent waterfall, with sunrise enhancing its beauty. Then an unhurried visit to a lovely Icelandic horse farm; and an opportunity to meander with them in the fields. Then to an even more astonishing set of waterfalls - lovely little walk around these to the various viewing platforms. And the day ended with a gorgeous afternoon bath in the canyon baths (which I had to myself - incredible) but even at peak only accept 20 people so never busy. Nestled in a deep canyon, these baths are small but stunning - and very civilised with changing rooms and a small bar for a glass of wine! This was my favourite tour in Iceland. It felt authentic, off the beaten track and I saw some of the most gorgeous scenery of all. Guide was educational but not overbearing - knew how to balance information with a bit of quiet time/music to enjoy the scenery. Loved it. Highly recommend
