Sad but Glad
I can’t rate the activity. We had bad weather. But I think it is deserving to mention the company cancelled and let us know with plenty of advance notice that we did not make an extra trip. Thanks for putting people before the money!

Beautiful scenery
Was an absolutely amazing experience. Our tour guides hammer and Kendall were lovely and well educated answered everyone’s questions quickly. Hammer was a good laugh on the way back down. The atmosphere is like no other it’s extraordinary quiet down there. Our group was split into two which was helpful. The length of the visit was very nice as we didn’t need to rush and could take everything in. Admiration fee was well worth the price and it’s best for anyone, families, couples or solo travellers

Snaefellsnes Peninsula Tour from Grundarfjordur PortPhillip_O, Sep 2026
This tour is well recommended as it was professionally conducted and researched
We had a very good tour of the Peninsula with our very experienced guide showing and discussing all the many sights to visit. The tour collected and brought us back to the cruise ship which was an added bonus

Snaefellsnes Peninsula Tour from Grundarfjordur Portstudiojr, Sep 2026
Most Magical Tour Ever
A perfect day in a stunning part of the world. Our guide Vjeran was immensely knowledgable, personable...and hilarious - almost like a brilliant stand up. Each stop was drop dead gorgeous and perfectly paced. Mindblowing vistas and superb short hikes -- our best day in Iceland by far.

Vjeran did a superb tour. He was very knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and most importantly safety minded. Would recommend him for future tours even during the rain.:)

Leroy of "Unreal Iceland" is a wonderful guide.
Our 25 year old granddaughter was able to join us for our Solar Eclipse cruise, and we had an amazing day. Leroy, the owner of "Unreal Iceland”, was our guide and driver. Obviously, we are old but Leroy accompanied Emily and showed her where she could see lots of seals and wildlife when walking that far wasn't feasible for my husband and me. He is incredibly personable, knowledgeable and accommodating. We visited Iceland before but this was our first time seeing the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and Leroy made it memorable. We were fortunate to spend time with him, and it was hard to say goodbye.

The Cave Explorer13abigaill, Aug 2026
Fantastic informative tour with a great guide
Fantastic and informative visit deep into the Vidgelmir lava cave. Our guide Joy was an absolutely joy! Very well informed, easy to understand and kept a good pace.
We were lucky and had 6 in our group, others had 15-20.
There is a slightly tight entrance to the cave where you have to duck a little but it's short and easy to do.
We went 700m deep along a wooden walkway. There are multiple staircases but as someone with a knee condition, it was very manageable and not rushed.
Lots of interesting facts along the way about the different 'rooms' with joy pointing out various colours of the rocks and different lava formations.
Fun section at the end where all the lights get switched off and you're in complete darkness for minutes!

Midnight Sun Kayaking Adventure by Mt. Kirkjufellandercovny, Aug 2026
Great experience
Luna and William did a fantastic job. At one point, we just stood still while a seal swam around us about five feet away, it was incredible. Really great group, so glad we went.

Excellent Private Tour Experience!
We had a fantastic experience with Unreal Iceland. Our guide, Baldvin, was very helpful, informative, and fit the tour to our interests and needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better day out touring the Snaefellsness area!

Snowmobiling from HusafellLilbritches, Aug 2026
snowmobiling on Langjökull glacier with Simply Iceland!
Our family of four (teen boys - 19, 15) really enjoyed snowmobiling on Langjökull glacier with Simply Iceland! Our guides were Haukur and Eva, each of whom were very kind and knowledgeable. After meeting at Hotel Husafell, we were driven to the glacier in the big white mercedes mini bus. The snowmobiles were at the glacier waiting for us. After a brief safety talk, we were set loose on the glacier, following behind Eva. We felt completely safe throughout the day. The scenery was breathtaking. Snowmobiling a glacier was a magical experience and something that we are so glad to have experienced. We highly recommend Simply Iceland, a small, family-owned and operated business with outstanding customer service and attention to detail. As a matter of fact, the groups are always under 16 or 17, but on the day we went, our family of four were the only ones booked (!). Unexpected private tour! Do not hesitate to choose Simply Iceland. You will not regret it!
