“An amazing experience out on
the ice. The ride is certainly long,
but the trip is worth every minute
of it. You spend a lot of time out
on the glacier, and the ability to
try your hand at ice climbing re-
ally made the trip awesome. The
guides were knowledgable and
helpful and really put everyone at
ease.”

Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon
“I had a fantastic day, driving
along the stupendous volcanic
region which has recently been
affecting the rest of Europe, see-
ing with my own eyes the heroic
working farms which regularly
have to battle against the ele-
ments - before the final stop at
Jokulsarlon for the boat trip in
an other-worldly environment
of white as well as ash-covered
icebergs breaking off from the
massive glacier above. I still feel
immense nostalgia for the places
I visited that day, and the 3 jars
of volcanic sand and ash from
Vik, Eyjafjallajokull and Grimsvotn
on my shelves are a proof that it
wasn’t just a dream. Thank you
for a truly amazing day! I know I
will be back..”

to the Blue Lagoon itself, it is fine
but too much queuing on the
way in and out.”

Below & The Blue Lagoon
“The tour visited only one lava
tube, so there is perhaps less
to see than in other cave sys-
tems. The novelty lies in clamber-
ing through the rough lava tube
where the height varies between
just under one metre to several
metres. Good overalls, hard hats
and headlights were provided.
Look on this tour as a physi-
cal challenge rather than seeing
spectacular colours and rock
formations. The main experience
at the Blue Lagoon is bathing in
the warm water, so recommend
the standard option where just
a towel is provided. We didn’t
make much use of the bathrobe
or the mask/scrub - and silica
mud is available free of charge to
bathers.”

“This was a really enjoyable dive.
The guides are very good and
make things very smooth and
easy even if you’ve never used a
dry suit before. The opportunity
to see a landscape that doesn’t
exist anywhere else in the world
is too good to pass up.”

“I felt sad having to fly back
home, but the stopover at the
Blue Lagoon along the way was
a wonderful way to end an ac-
tion packed long weekend. By
being so flexible with timings as
well as reliable, your company
makes a visit to the unique Blue
Lagoon trouble-free. I sure will do
it again!”

“It was a very long trip, but there
was plenty to see and regular
stops for places of interest and
refreshments. We particularly en-
joyed the Glacial Lagoon (even
though it was very cold and wet)
and Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Our
guides were excellent and spoke
very good English.”

“Solveig was such an incredible
guide, and made the tour as fan-
tastic as it was. She was a font
of knowledge about all things
Icelandic--history, politics, geolo-
gy, geography, birdlife, and more.
Her constant relay of information
about where we were headed,
and what we were seeing added
infinitely to the pleasure of the
trip. Thanks, Solveig.”

“This tour is organized very much
so that you don’ t need to worry
about anything. You never miss
any sites and have enough time
to walk around there. Just sit
down in the bus with a brilliant
guide;-)”

“I loved this tour. The tour guide
was very informative. I think my
favourite part of the tour was
hearing little facts and about the
history of Iceland from the tour
guide. The sights were amaz-
ing. Take a good coat with you to
Gulfoss though, as it’s very cold
around the waterfall!”

The driver was very knowledge-

“This tour was amazing! I would
never have gotten to see the wild,
untouched part of Iceland while
staying in Reykjavik if it weren’t
for this tour. The tour group was
small, so it felt personal, and our
guide was GREAT. He took the
time to get to know each of us,
and all the information he gave
was relevant and interesting. I will
never forget the amazing places
I saw on this excursion, and I
also booked two other great tour
packages with Gray Line- the
Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon.
The service was superb all three
times. I would recommend this
tour to anyone visiting Iceland!”
