Doing what: Iceland from Below Tour
I really loved this tour the guide was amazing letting you know all about the surrounding area and the cave itself. This was not the most stunning cave I have ever seen but it did not distract from the fun of getting dressed up in bright orange jumpsuits and hard hats and climbing through very small places. This tour would only have been better if they also supplied knee pad as I came out covered in bruises (being tall didnt help).

Doing what: Northern Lights Night Tour from Reykjavik
I was fortunate that the weather cooperated and was able to see the Northern Lights, but I also want to compliment the bus drivers and tour guides for doing all that was possible for us to see them. We moved to three different locations as they consulted forcasts for the visibility. They really wanted to do their best to allow us to see this spectacular sight

Really did a great job getting us to the different sights along the golden circle, which were phenomenal! The guide was informative and allowed us enough free time to explore all the areas of interest.

Picked up from our hotel. Taken to national park approx 10:00pm. It was dark, very very cold but brilliant. Guide explained the stars on show and the Aurora was brill.

Excellent tour guides (Jakob, Baldur and co). Even though we had to wait a while for the clouds to clear, they kept the group happy, despite the cold. Spectacular view of the Northern Lights that night too.

This was a great tour! The original date was Feb 24 the tour was postponed several nights due to visibility issues. We finally went in Feb 27. It was clear but the aurora did not show. We then went to a different location ehere we saw some but nothing spectacular. We then moved to another location where they were somewhat visible. The tour company said it was not good enough so they let us go out again at no additional cost. We selected Mar 1 as it was our anniversary. We spent the day at the Blue Lagoon and that evening the aurora was out with spectular viewing. I recommend this tour but would advise scheduling it early in your time in Iceland in case the weather causes a postponment.

Doing what: Day Trip from Reykjavik: Glacier Hiking and Ice Climbing on Iceland's Sólheimajokull Glacier
This was amazing! I am a rock climber anyway but have never climbed on ice. It's about 3 hours from Reykjavik. You get given crampons, helmet and ice axe. You should bring a good coat, waterproof trousers and high ankle walking boots. And water!
We did a short walk and then some ice climbs. The guides set up anchor points at the top and ab down. They be-lay you, you climb up and they bring you down. You don't have to climb if you don't want to. It isn't a difficult climb, everyone managed to get to the top and there were all sorts of people.
Afterwards we went on a longer hike for an hour or so, be careful and walk where the guide tells you unless you fancy one leg falling knee deep into ice water. Maybe bring spare socks?!
The hike isn't hard is you are a walker but if you just sit about in an office all day then you might struggle. Our guides were Snorri and Gulli and they were really good, fun and knew lots to tell us. Found a small ice cave and ate an icicle! Why not?!
There are ham and cheese and salad rolls at lunch and Icelandic doughnuts nom nom. If you're a fussy eater then bring some snacks. Also pack some snacks if you might want a boost during the hike.
I won't tell you what you get to see but the formations and views are beautiful. I don't want to spoil it. Definitely worth the money when compared to the other tours you can get.
On the way hope we stopped at Skogafoss waterfall which is stunning, it often has a rainbow running through it, bring your rain coat, its splashy! If you work out the angles well then you can get your photo taken standing at the end of the rainbow!
We also stopped the the farm where they first spotted the Eyjafjallajökull erruption in 2010 and reported it to the media (who didn't believe them!). Lots of the farm was damaged but they have turned this unfortunate event into a positive and attract tourists and have a visitors center and information signs.
Best trip of the tour and worth paying 100 whatever quid for!

Awesome! For the first few hours thought we weren't going tosee the lights, but the tour leaders persevered and when the Lights came they were almost unbelieveable. Would recommend this to anyone in spite of the late finish!

This is an amazing way to see Iceland!! We got to see so much in one day. Even in between sites we learnt alot of interesting information about Iceland. As we were on schedule the crew threw in a chance to see a volcano! I would recommend this o anyone.

our trip was cancelled twice because of cloud . When we eventually went on our last night, it was a very a clear night but unfortunately there was no solar activity. however we were informed that as we had not been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights our tickets would be valid for two years if we hapened to return to iceland. You cannot get fairer than that! It was an enjoyable but cold trip anyway.
