You can use this audio guide completely freely and for as long as you like! You will receive audio information at over 340 locations.
Iceland
The more than 340 audio stations contain not only information about specific places and sights, but also about nature, the country, people, history and much more.
A small selection of the more than 30 stations in the Reykjavík area and on the Reykjanes peninsula:
Bridge Between Continents
Here you can learn more about the tectonic features of the Reykjanes peninsula. On the "bridge between the continents" you stand directly above the rift between the North American and Eurasian continental plates.
Fagradalsfjall Volcano
Since 2021, the Reykjanes peninsula has been volcanically active again and has made headlines with numerous eruptions. The app tells you more about it!
At the Seltún geothermal area, the app tells you more about the volcanic systems and hot spring areas in Iceland.
Reykjavik
We have some stops in the Reykjavik area in the app. If you want to go on a detailed city tour with over 60 stops, you can also find the Reykjavik city tour separately within the app.
A small selection of the more than 30 stations on the famous Golden Circle:
Thingvellir National Park
In several audio stations, the app tells you a lot about the geologically and historically interesting Thingvellir National Park.
Site de Geysir
Did you know that the name "Geysir" comes from Icelandic? You will hear more about the great-grandfather of all geysers!
Gullfoss Falls
Today, Gullfoss is one of Iceland's biggest tourist attractions, but 100 years ago it had to be saved by a farmer's daughter. The app tells what happened.
Golden Circle Route
The app not only offers content about individual sights, but also general information about the country, people, language, history and background.
A small selection of the more than 60 stations on the south coast of Iceland:
Seljalandsfoss waterfall
The app provides information not only about the famous Seljalandsfoss, but also about the surrounding area and special features on the journey there.
Skogafoss
Want to know how to get to the famous gold treasure under the mighty Skógafoss waterfall? The app not only tells you, it also tells you where to find the remains of it.
Skaftafell National Park
Here are just a few examples of the stops; of course, you will not only learn about Iceland's most famous national park, but also about the many special places in its surroundings.
Gletsjerlagune Jokulsarlon
Did you know that besides the famous Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach, there is another glacier lagoon in southern Iceland?
A small selection of the more than 40 stations in eastern Iceland:
East Region
There are many small fishing villages in East Iceland. You will learn more about the history of fishing, fishing techniques and the fjords of East Iceland.
Egilsstadir
In the Egilsstadir region you will not only hear about the forests and waterfalls in East Iceland, but also about the Icelandic Loch Ness Monster.
A small selection of the more than 70 stations in northern Iceland:
Lake Myvatn
The area around Lake Myvatn is full of surprises: the app has all the big and small highlights of the region and tells you something about them.
Dettifoss Waterfall
Europe's largest waterfall is not the only stop in the area of the large glacier gorge "Jökulsárgljúfur" in northern Iceland.
Husavik
Húsavík is not only one of the most beautiful places in Iceland, but also the capital of whale watching!
Akureyri
The app not only contains information about various places in tranquil Akureyri, but also background information about the region's infrastructure, nature and museums.
A small selection of the more than 60 stations in western Iceland (including the Westfjords and the Snaefellsnes peninsula):
Westfjords Region
In the Westfjords, you will get to know the extraordinary museums, impressive natural sites and the magnificent Dynjandi waterfall in over 15 stops.
Arnarstapi
The Snaefellsnes peninsula is represented in our app with over 30 audio stations. So you can learn a wide range of information about "Iceland in miniature", as the peninsula is also called.
Hraunfossar
What does the "Hraunfossar" waterfall, which simply flows out of the rock, have to do with the "Children's Waterfalls"? The audio guide reveals it!
A small selection of the more than 20 stations in the highlands of Iceland and on the Westman Islands:
Landmannalaugar
We also have some stops in the highlands of Iceland in the app to give you more information: Examples are the highland slopes Kjölur and Sprengisandur, the highland oases Hveravellir and Landmannalaugar and the legendary volcanoes Askja and Hekla.
Vestmannaeyjar
The Westman Islands are a very special part of Iceland. That's why the app offers several exciting stops on the island of Heimaey, with information about the island's turbulent history.

5.00This audio guide was fantastic! It was very informative and the subjects automatically began playing at the perfect time. And the guide’s voice was very pleasing. Highly recommended!!
Very underwhelming

1.00The information that was told was mostly underwhelming. I’ve listened to many audio tours while travelling the world and this was the worst. I know there are a ton of stories and information to be told about Iceland but I felt like I did not get my moneys worth. I will say that I only bought this audio tour when I was in the north of Iceland so I do not have any comments to say about the south.
Super helpful Audio guide...

5.00Super helpful Audio guide providing commentary on sites, topography, and history as we drove the Ring Road.
Must have for ring road trip!

5.00Get this before your trip! It automatically comes on and tells you about an area as you drive. It has tons of information on the sights, history, geology, and culture of each area. It was more helpful than the months of planning that I did for the ring road trip. We know tons more about Iceland than we would have driving without it. Highly recommended!
DOn’t waste your money

1.00Really waste of money Difficult to download Then short snippets of useless information Was really hoping this would help organize and make our trip more enjoyable
Not a useful app as advertised

2.00A useful app when it works automatically, which it did not do 50%of the time. Also, when I paid for the app and the Iceland guide I assumed it would cover everything; unfortunately for $20 it only gave me information of the golden circle main route and nothing else. Everything else requires an additional payment of $10-20.
