At Djúpalónssandur, you’ll find a curiosity on the beach: four large, smooth stones. They are “lifting stones,” used to measure the strength of fishermen who once worked and lived all along the coasts here. The biggest one is called Fullsterkur (“Full-Strength”) and weighs 154 kg (340 lbs). Be sure to lift with your knees so you don’t hurt your back on this one! The second one is called Hálfsterkur (“Half-Strength”) and weighs 100 kg (220 lbs). The third one is called Hálfdrættingur (“Weakling”) and weighs 54 kg (119 lbs). Last, you were the shame of your village if you can only lift Amlóði (“Useless”), at 23 kg (50 lbs). If a fisherman wanted to earn a spot on the fishing boat, he had to be able to lift the “Hálfdrættingur” stone – anything less, and they were not acceptable. Try your strength! Are you ready to join the boats?

    4-day fire and ice tour. Booking was easy, communication was good. The guides were great, good at timing stops and adding extra stops at cool places when time allowed. The multiday tour was paired each day with a day tour, but everyhing went smoothly.

    Christine was a great guide. She went above and beyond the mere tour guide and driver duties by sending us texts and even meeting up with us when we were on another tour to tell us about the nordic northern lights and ask how we were doing. She was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. She was attentive to the passengers' needs and also respected our need for silence to appreciate the surroundings . I would certainly go on a tour with her as again. She had this fun game to test our knowledge by asking questions and rewarding the winner with icelandic chocolate.

  • Experience of a lifetime with excellent guides, safety, and sights

    I booked the 5 day Winter Wonderland tour as a solo traveler and had an incredible experience. This tour was a stitch of the South Coast, Golden Circle, and West Iceland tours, which meant I had three different guides: Hinrik Mika, and Walter, all with different but entertaining and fun personalities. The tour was extremely well organized. We hit all the key destinations with enough time to enjoy them. As a hobby photographer, I felt I had enough time to photograph and enjoy my destinations. The buses were comfortable for hours of driving - I never felt like I was on the bus for to long (though when full felt a bit cramped when exiting). The hotel stops every night were incredible, especially the one between the South Coast and Golden Circle tours. My guides were all phenomenal and made this an experience I would not forget. If I ever had any problems, they addressed it immediately. The end of my tour overlapped with icy conditions, and our guide made sure to stay laser-focused on safe driving so we could make it back without any problems. I would 1000% recommend this tour to others. Two things I'd love to highlight here. First, doing this tour instead of driving it myself meant I could enjoy the sights without worrying about difficult Icelandic driving - that peace of mind was invaluable. Second, I recommend doing the full 5 day instead of booking the tours individually, because the in-between stays were thoughtfully planned and among my favorite parts of the trip. When I come back to Iceland, I will absolutely book with Nice Travel again.

  • Can’t speak highly enough of Nicetravel. My 4-day tour was even better than I had hoped when I booked it.

    This trip was so much more than I had even hoped. Pickup from my hotel was seamless. The bus was really comfy and the Wi-Fi / USB charging on board was really useful. On my particular tour there was a number of other solo travellers which was great but whether solo or part of a couple everyone got on and had a great time. I was on the 4-day Ring Road Tour which was part of the longer 6 day version. The itinerary was really well planned and because it was a small group our guide, Hakon, was able to add in a few extra stops which was great. I would definitely recommend Nicetravel and will travel with them again when I return to Iceland at some point in the future

  • Great trip

    This tour was fantastic. My husband and I signed up for the 6 day tour so we could enjoy the scenery and experience Iceland without trying to drive. For the first 4 days, we had the wonderful experience of traveling with Gulli who is Icelandic and he shared so much information with us. He was extremely knowledgeable and awesome. The last two days we had Monica who was wonderful, bubbly, and so much fun. She was also knowledgeable and a great guide. The accommodations were excellent, the breakfasts great, and we had enough time at each stop to explore without feeling rushed. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who prefers to travel in smaller groups and who wants to see Iceland in a comfortable situation. This tour was worth every cent. Take it and have a great time.

    We took 7 day tour and it was very well organized with good hotels included in all overnight stopovers. Trip was rather hectic and stopped at many wonderful falls, beaches and canyons. Our tour driver Henrick was very pleasant, informative and kept us entertained with Icelandic stories and music. We took the optional Glacier lagoon boat trip and Lava cave tours- highly recommend. Overall very memorable experience.

    From 30 April to 4 May, we joint the 5 days tours that cover A LOT! Nice Travel is a very reliable agency with email response always within hours, and can provide lots of advises on what to choose that best fits my travel itinerary. Highlight of the tour: Day 1: We were the 2nd last group to get into the ice cave! Which was a fantastic experiences with many great pictures. The tour slept over at hotel in South coast, which is a nice traditional hotel that offers nice lamb dishes for dinner. Day 2: We visited a few waterfalls with one that you can get into or under. Though freezing cold and got all wet, it was very nice experiences. Then at Diamond beach, there are lots of ice cubes and we saw seals near the walking path. [Thanks Oli, my first guide at Iceland] Day 3: We were picked up by Christina for the Golden circle and Hvmmsvik Spa. Our 1st stopped at a green house who has a geothermal that burst constantly so everyone got some nice pictures. Then we went to a lot of different places with most impressive stop at an ice cream farm. There, with gratitude, we have the ice cream in front of the dairy cows, who gives us the milk😃. We end this trip with a very nice 2 hours Spa which is next to Atlantic Ocean, that i did my 1st in life jump from hotspring to icy ocean. Day 4: “Thor” is our guide. She was ultra local Icelandic women who shared tons of history, evolution of Iceland and the communities. We went to Silver circle with most mind blowing by the lava cave! It was a life time experiences and Master in geography 😆 I highly recommended! Day 5: “Thor” continued take us to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It’s a National Geographic place where you get very close to the cliff areas and obverse lives of seagulls. We saw seals at one of the beaches, which was very nice! Overall, I highly recommended Nice Travel who have a strong and professional groups of guide. They are authentic locals and who love their jobs to introduce Iceland to everyone around the world. You don’t need to worry much about having different guides, as each and everyone of them are very unique and professional! I found joining the multi day tours save me loads of time to drive and look for places, you will be in good hands of Nice Teams! Last comment, if I rent a car and do it myself, I am sure, only half the places will be covered.
