Adventure into the most beautiful Iceland with the best local guide
X9365REmp,Jun 28, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00It's a trully personal, impressive experience to discover the real Iceland. I've felt the excitement of being on an adventure as if I was a child again. Since the begining, Trasti has been an excelent guide providing deep knowledge of local history and geology, altogether with delicate attention and a very human sensibility for the territory. We've been taken to remotest, beautiful landscapes, had time to experience it without rush, tailored to our needs. It's not like other massive turistic tours. This is a experience for those who want to discover the real Icelan behind touristic places. Beautiful, wild, and heart-touching. You are in the best hands, open your eyes and prepare for a day you will remember!
Excursion not to be missed!

5.00Extraordinary day! Fabulous landscapes. Very comfortable vehicle. Very nice walks with well-studied timing. Very interesting explanations from the driver. The inner tracks were not yet open, but thanks to Secret Iceland, we were able to pass. I highly recommend it, as it is well worth the price.
Unforgettable experience

5.00This was a stunning tour with lots to see and to experience by ourselves. Our guide was David, who told us a lot about the history from the area. He was very pleasant and knowledgable of the area. The super jeep was comfortable. During the tour it was obvious not to drive these F-roads with a normal or AWD rental car. The Laki mountain and view on the craters was stunning. We were lucky that the weather was open, so the views were perfect. The hikes were very doable to experience the landscape up close. The views on Fagrifoss and Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon were the cherries on the pie. David, thanks for the wonderfull experience and sharing of your knowledge and personal stories. Jean-Paul & Monique (June 17th 2026).
Great tour

5.00A great tour. Across lava fields to the Laki volcano. There, two hours to climb to the summit and take a round around a crater. Amazing view. Beautiful landscape. Continue to the crater lake, a waterfall, and finally to the canyon. The drive itself is already an adventure. We even had some snow along the way. (June 16) And we had to cross 3 rivers with the Jeep. Our guide told great stories about the land, the people, and the volcanoes. For those who have 1 day to spare. It is worth it. The tour is worth every cent.

5.00David was fantastic! We were the first group out in the highlands this season and it felt so special. Everything was absolutely breathtaking / other worldly. Would recommend this tour to everyone.

5.00It was an amazing tour! David was a fantastic guide. He shared lots of great stories about life in Iceland, how things work with the sheep farmers, and about the landscape — like why the moss has different colors in certain places, what you can see around you, and so on. We drank from a river along the way, where he filled our bottles, and he drove fast through the rivers, which created a fun effect. All in all, an excellent guide combined with stunning scenery.
Our definitive highlight of the whole Iceland trip!

5.00This tour is absolutely our highlight during our Iceland trip! We booked the trip in advance and wanted to change the date two days before as we saw that there was whole day train indicated by weather broadcast. After a quick call and a short email it was no problem to arrange our trip to one day earlier. Our guide Gudmann was super friendly and shared with us so many insights and interesting stories during our trip. The drive with super-jeep in the deep heart of mossy lava field was just a unique experience that you never can forget! Change of the date turned out to be a right decision, the view was spectacularly top of Laki, We had a little rain later on in the afternoon, but for us all it matters was the first part of hiking on top of Laki. The tour was a bit pricy, but it is definitely worth the money! We are a group of only 6 people and could really enjoy the exclusive programme to the full.
A great day out

5.00I'd been to the other-wordly highlands a few times, hoping I'd get something special again. The laki craters didn't disappoint. Different than other parts of the highlands. We didn't have the best weather, but that didn't spoil it at all. 2 different stops at the craters and a fantastic waterfall, plus stories by our tour guide: loved it all. The final stop was at the increasingly crowded Fjadrargljufur canyon (thanks Justin Bieber). A let down after being nearly alone in the highlands, but I'd been to the canyon 3 times before so I'm sure it was impressive for the others. Mildly rough road but nothing too bad. Great tour guide. Bring your own lunch.
Perfect day!

5.00It was simply the perfect day. Our tour guide / driver was really nice, explained a lot and answered all our questions. The spots we visited were breathtaking and we were really lucky to be there almost on our own. Also the hiking / driving relation was perfect!
Super tour with lots of fun

5.00Our 8-hour tour today was worth every Icelandic krona, despite the bad weather. Our tour guide David told us lots of interesting things about this area, where he also lives. He was also very friendly and funny and had some fun stories to tell. One of the best guided tours we have ever experienced.
