2-hour RIB whale safari from Húsavík with Puffin Island, warm overalls, English guides, and fast searches in Skjálfandi Bay for whales and dolphins.
“Guide was good but hard to understand, typical language barrier.”
Ride an ATV at Mýrdalsjökull, cross black sand and rivers, visit the DC3 wreck, and take in Dyrhólaey views on Iceland’s south coast.
“We had a great time, we did this tour two and a half years ago and it was even better the second time. Amazing views and wonderful guides.”
Original Húsavík RIB whale safari with expert guides and a possible Puffin Island stop during breeding season, about 2 hours.
“My sister swears we saw 15 whales, although I feel it was more like possibly 5 whales a total of 15 times. The female guide was great as was the boat captain. It was perfect sunny wether but most importantly this group was knowledgeable and experienced as knew where to find the whales!”
Ride quad bikes to Reykjavik Peak with safety gear, a guided convoy, and big views over the city plus a stop by Lake Hafravatn.
“We had a great time on the two hour ATV excursion. Guides explain things well before you get started and appreciate that the company supplies warm jumpsuits, gloves, face masks and helmets. Driving through areas with the purple lupines in June was beautiful.”
Reykjavik buggy safari with hotel transfers to Hafravatn, 1 hour of off-road buggy driving, gear included, and Reykjavik Peak mountain views.
“Lisa was a wonderful guide. Highly recommend the 9.30am tour as you get to see the sunrise! Pick up and drop off were fab! Overall a fantastic experience!”
1-hour RIB safari from Bakkagerði, East Iceland. Puffins, seals, and possible whales, with fast coastal views close to shore.
“Very friendly tour guides who know the wildlife well. They’re like a comedy duo. Very warm gear provided. My elderly parents were able to get onto the boat and tolerated an hour boat ride.”
Guided side-by-side ATV safari around Lake Mývatn with helmets and overalls, a safety briefing, and off-road exploration in small groups.
“L’attività non corrisponde assolutamente alla descrizione. Si percorre per chilometri un paesaggio privo di vegetazione senza alcun panorama interessante. Il prezzo è davvero esagerato rispetto all’esperienza descritta. La guida simpatica e attrezzatura idonea ma purtroppo la gira totalmente insoddisfacente Sconsigliato”
