5.00This was a the perfect half day tour! I only had one day in Iceland and I wanted to see nature and do the blue lagoon. So this was the perfect option!
Well planned. Great introduction to Iceland

5.00Today we took the Golden Circle tour with Arctic Adventures, and it was excellent from start to finish. Our guide, Nico, was outstanding. He is knowledgeable, highly competent, and has a wonderful sense of humour. He kept the group organized, informed, and on schedule throughout the day. The itinerary was well planned, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We are already looking forward to our next excursion in two days. Highly recommended!
Minibus was uncomfortable, waterfall and geyser are the highlights
Marc E,Jun 22, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00The driver showed up right on time meeting us at the cruise terminal as agreed. Although the minibus was a Mercedes, there was virtually no leg room between seats and the a/c and heat did not work, which made it very uncomfortable. The driver really tried to help with the temperature control but she got no support from the front office. She was knowledgeable and her accented English was understandable. The waterfall is can't miss, the geyser takes time to spout but is nice, the crater is nice to look at for 5-10 minutes and there is a dangerous walk down it. The national park with the tectonic plates was underwhelming. It's a very long day in cramped quarters.
