AMAZING!!!!
We were able to go in every single attraction planned, the city center of Reykjavík, incredible waterfalls, a beautiful beach, a stunning valley ( national park), museums, an amazing show, a cozy hot spring, a lovely and warm green house and horse stable, an amazingly beautiful glacier and a indescribable time experiencing the northern lights.
The only downside was the short time limit on each site. And because of the volcano eruption we couldn’t go to the Blue Lagoon.
Overall it was an amazing, amazing trip.
The guide was very professional and nice, very attentive to details and time. That made the trip very comfortable.
The weather was very, very cold but still manageable.
I would recommend OntheGo to use the first and last day more wisely. They could make available a shuttle from the hotel to take us to the city center/downtown at a certain time and pick us up like couple of hours later, so we could experience the downtown by ourselves. Like, we got at the hotel early in the morning and spent our time just seating at the hotel lobby. If we had a shuttle to take us to some place and having someone to pick us up, we wouldn’t feel lost or afraid to explore and we could start feeling and understanding the city/ country in the first day.
I would strongly recommend it to everyone! ”
Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic. So much knowledge about the history of the country,telling us the old fable’s,packing in as much as she could for our trip. Eyrun was very friendly and you could see she wanted us to enjoy this trip.Eyrun even

There is not one bad word I can find about this trip,it’s probably the best trip my friend and I have had to date.
Eyrun is an asset make sure she knows that.”

Frequently asked questions about our Iceland trips
Will I see the Northern Lights on your Iceland tours?
We offer a number of tours specially designed around this bucket list wish, spending a night or more in a remote location away from city lights to increase our chances of seeing them.
Seeing the phenomenon also known as the Aurora Borealis is not something we can ever guarantee on our tours due to local weather conditions but there's a good chance you will see them over the course of your winter tour. You can find out more with our helpful guide.
Do your Iceland package trips include a visit to the Blue Lagoon?
If you've got your heart set on a tour that doesn't already include the Blue Lagoon then don't worry. It can be booked locally and you can go before or after your tour. We can arrange pre / post tour accommodation if required.
In 2021, the brand new Sky Lagoon opened in Reykjavik, which is set to rival the Blue Lagoon. Our South Iceland Summer Explorer tour includes a visit here.
Can I go whale watching in Iceland?
From Reykjavik's Old Harbour you can join a whale-watching boat excursion off Iceland's south coast, spending roughly three hours out on the water in search of humpback whales, minke whales, killer whales, and other species of whale and dolphin in their natural habitat. The excursions are available year-round, though the summer months (mid-June to August) are the best time to go whale watching in Iceland. You can also book puffin-watching excursions too! Whale watching cruises depart from other locations around the country, in Dalvik, for example.
What is the Golden Circle and do you include guided sightseeing on your Iceland trips?
You'll get to see all three of these sites on the majority of our Iceland tours, escorted by a knowledgeable guide. Check out our dedicated guide to the Golden Circle if you would like to know more about these impressive sites.
How big are your tour groups and what is the age of your travellers?
You'll be travelling with people from English-speaking countries around the world so you can expect an eclectic mix of personalities and ages, ranging from those in their 20s to those over 60.
Children over the age of 12 years are welcome on our Iceland tours so the group may include a few teenagers.
What is the standard of hotels on your Iceland trips?
If you prefer a higher standard of accommodation then our 'comfort' upgrade is just the ticket on Land of the Northern Lights.
What sort of transport do you use on your tours?
On tours with smaller group sizes, we will use minibusses instead, offering a similar level of comfort.
When is the best time to travel to Iceland?
But if you're in Iceland to see waterfalls swelled with snowmelt, to relax in the Blue Lagoon, and to stroll along the black sand of the Reykjanes Peninsula on the south coast, then the longer days of sunlight between June and August are best.
For more details head to our best time to visit Iceland page.
Is Iceland a safe destination for travellers from the LGBTQ+ community?
According to the 2022 LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index, Iceland scores an A- rating for LGBTQ+ traveller safety, ranking 11th out of 203 countries.
Same sex marriage is legal, and there are constitutional and worker protections in place for people of all sexual orientations. Hate crimes against members of the LGBTQ+ community are partially criminalized and 76 - 100% of consulted citizens consider Iceland a good place to live for gay and lesbian people. There are no legal punishments for same sex relations and most trips for LGBTQ+ travellers to Iceland are trouble-free.
The LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index is designed to provide a good overall picture of attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community in each country and may not reflect the experience of foreign travellers to the country.
Can I drink the tap water in Iceland?
So you can avoid environmentally harmful bottled water and drink straight from the taps!
Do you offer pre and post-tour accommodation?
Please note that on our Iceland Overnight Adventure, Geysers, Glaciers & Golden Circle, and Iceland North & South tours, we are unable to book pre and post-tour accommodation, so you will need to make your own arrangements for these tours. On the rest of our Iceland trips, we can gladly assist you with booking extra accommodation.

The Best of our Iceland Trips
Iceland: where leisurely walks become glacial hikes. Where rivers and streams become thundering falls. And where skies become stages for the elusive Northern Lights - and you'll have the best seats. If it's your first trip to Iceland, then these are the country's top destinations and natural wonders!
Reykjavik
Creative people, colourful architecture, and a cool, contemporary soul. Reykjavik is a city of true Nordic style. Some of our Iceland tours include sightseeing here, whilst on some, you can take in the sights at your own pace.
Seljalandsfoss
Iceland's most famous waterfall, plummeting from the lower edges of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. But the best view is from behind. Stand underneath the falls and watch the water follow its course. Nearby Skogafoss is just as impressive.
The Blue Lagoon
The place to recharge against a rugged natural backdrop. The lagoon's geothermal waters are rich in minerals - lending themselves to the lagoon's rejuvenating properties and beautiful blue shade. Many of our tours in Iceland include a visit.
The Northern Lights
The dancing glow of this magical phenomenon captivates star-gazers and thrill-seekers alike. You'll need to stray from the city lights to see them - head to Hella or Borganes for the best view. Luckily our Iceland tours do just that!
Lake Myvatn
In the less-visited northeast of Iceland, Lake Myvatn is something of a hidden gem. A shallow volcanic lake, it is also home to lava fields, bubbling mud pools and natural geothermal springs, perfect for a dip!
Geysir Geothermal Area
Nothing screams the power of nature like spouting geysers sending sprays of water shooting into the air. And at the Geysir Geothermal Field, you can see Strokkur, a geyser that violently erupts every 10 minutes!
The Best Season to Visit? Iceland Trips in Summer Vs Winter
More so than many destinations, Iceland varies dramatically across the seasons. There are great reasons to visit in both summer (May - August) and winter (September - April), but when should you plan your trip for? Iceland is a stunning destination all year round, but there are certain pros and cons to visiting in each season. Find out more below.
Iceland in summer
Pros
Temperature: The summer temperature in Iceland averages 10 - 15 degrees Celsius, which is more pleasant than winter temperatures.Whale watching: April - September is whale watching season, a popular time for many travellers to Iceland.
Light: Long days of sunlight and stunning sunsets that you don't get in the short days of winter.
Waterfalls: Swelled with snowmelt, Iceland's famous waterfalls look better than ever.
Cons
No Northern Lights: Iceland's most unforgettable attraction cannot be seen in summer.Crowds: June - August are when the largest crowds come to Iceland, so prices go up and attractions are busier.
Iceland in winter
Pros
Northern Lights: Enough said.Ice caves: Explore inside natural ice caves; these melt and re-form every winter.
Fewer crowds: The Icelandic peak season is in summer, so lower prices and smaller crowds are visiting in winter.
Cons
Temperature: The clue is in the name, Iceland gets icy, and in the coldest months temperatures rarely climb above a few degrees Celsius.Short days: In the middle of winter, you're looking at no more than 4 - 5 hours of daylight, so sightseeing is tightly packed!
