What To Expect
Pingvellir National Park
The first stop of the day is Þingvellir National Park, where you will have a chance to see Thingvellir lake, the second biggest in Iceland, and walk in a rift where North American and Euro-Asian tectonic plates meet. It is also known as the site of Althing, the first parliament in the world that was established year 930 AD. That’s actually where the name of the park Þingvellir (e. Fields of the parliament) originates from. If you are not in any rush our guide will walk with you over to the Öxarárfoss Waterfall which falls into the rift and merges with Thingvellir lake.
The next stop is Efstidalur farm where we will see Icelandic cattle and locally made yummy ice cream. This farm has been run by the same family since 1750. If you like ice cream, it is on us. Choose whatever flavor you want.

Seamless and Unforgettable Private Tours with Iceland Highlights

5.00We booked private tours with Iceland Highlights during our Iceland cruise and had an absolutely amazing experience. From start to finish, everything was so well organized. We were a group of 8, ranging in age from 13 to 70, and Iceland Highlights made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout the tours. Each of our guides met us right at the port or airport, making every transition smooth and stress-free. The team was in constant communication with us, sharing details about who our driver/guide would be at each stop and exactly where to find them. This gave us so much confidence and allowed us to just enjoy the trip. Day 1 – Reykjavík & Golden Circle: Asgeir picked us up from KEF airport and took us on a Golden Circle tour right away before dropping us off at the cruise port. It was the perfect start to our adventure. Akureyri – North Iceland Tour: Ari met us directly at the port and guided us on a full-day tour covering North Iceland’s most spectacular natural attractions. A highlight was spotting a puffin—a magical surprise! Return to Reykjavík: For our last day, Tomas was truly amazing. He not only took us on a tour around the city but also made a stop at a local supermarket (something we really wanted to experience) where we picked up souvenirs. He then brought us to the Lava Show and later to a wonderful restaurant near the airport before dropping us off for our flight home. Every tour was fantastic, and each guide added something special that made our trip so memorable. Thank you to Iceland Highlights for organizing everything so seamlessly—I didn’t have to contact multiple companies or stress about logistics. They handled it all beautifully, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a worry-free, personalized, and unforgettable experience in Iceland.
Absolutely amazing time in Akureyri, Isafjordur, and Reykjavik for taking tours through Iceland Highlights

5.00We were a cruise group of 18 people and booked a couple of tours in Akureyri, Isafjordur, and Reykjavik through Iceland Highlights. I booked a couple of months ahead and had various queries about the tours. Tung from Iceland Highlights was an amazing person who answered all my queries and was very prompt in responding. Each guide was very knowledgeable and made the tours very interesting for us. I highly recommend this company as they are very professional, timely, accommodating, and also modified the tours according to our needs. We had a fabulous time in Iceland and saved money as compared to booking shore excursions through the cruise. On our last day, they even arranged on our request a pick up from the port, including a Reykjavik city tour, and then dropped us off at the KEF airport as we had an evening flight. Thank you to each member of the Iceland highlights team for making Iceland a memorable experience for us!!!
