“This 4 day tour is perfect!! U hit all sites relevant to Iceland. I was lucky enough to have Siggy as my guide. His energy is contagiious. From the first morning he greeted us with an enthusiastic hello! Siggy kept us on schedule which was perfect because we were often the first bus at most sites, beating the big bus loads of other tours. Great for being able to take pics without other tourists in ur shots. Siggy's stories and personality are hillariious plus his play list of music was so good. The hotels were all clean and organized. I slept well and breakfast was good and appreciated. U will…”

2.4-Day Iceland: Golden Circle, South Coast, Volcano Hike & Northern Lights

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 46 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,349

You’ll travel from Reykjavík in a group of up to 19, visiting Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, the South Coast, Jökulsárlón, and Fjaðrárgljúfur. Guides such as Carl and Olie have earned praise for flexible pacing and safe winter driving. Glacier and volcano tours, three nights, breakfast, transport, and Wi-Fi are included.

“Our 4d3n land tour for our family of 6 (with 2 teenagers) was well-organized including online messages were promptly received within couple of hours with Arctic Adventures when we had queries. We left a little disappointed because we could not find the auroras during the northern night tour. Planners should leave a few days later because it could be rescheduled for the following day if the northern light hunt was unsuccessful. Iceland has nature at vast display. So many wows here and it is unforgettable. Some of our best memories are from Iceland. Thank you All.”

“Don’t go to Whitehorse for Northern Lights, trust me as an Aurora Chaser who does this all over the world . Gorgeous Mountain View’s but terrible for Northern lights. I could go on and on about why but just trust me . It’s located to far south, mountains /landscape brings a lot of clouds/cloudy nights can’t see Aurora really through clouds. I was there for three weeks out all night every night 90% of the time all you get is a faint green arch low on horizon , not the shapes and movement that we all see on the gram and want to see. Go to Yellowknife is is so…”
