Additional Information

This is an exclusively private tour designed just for you and your party. The tour spans 7 hours. We have the option to include a visit to the ice cave (extra charges apply). The tour offers a glimpse into the vast, diverse landscapes and natural beauty. It includes the town of Borgarfjordur and Borgarnes, established in the 9th century and notably served as a backdrop in the Hollywood movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most potent thermal hot spring, provides 180 litres/second of boiling water. Hraunfossar, a series of stunning waterfalls and rapids formed as clear, cold springs of subterranean water seep through the lava and into the Hvítá river. Reykholt is a historical gem of Iceland, once home to the author Snorri Sturluson from 1206-1241. The tour also features Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier spanning approximately 950 square kilometers or 367.000 square miles. The Whale fjord tunnel, 5770 meters (18,930 feet) long and goes as deep as 165 meters (541 feet) below sea level, inaugurated in 1998, is also part of the itinerary.

Puffin Travel is the most wonderful “mom&pop” private tour company - Villi was absolutely incredible! We had no set agenda, and he planned a wonderful day for us. He thought of everything, including insuring that our dinner plans were secured. Puffin Travel is fabulous!!!!

Amazing Icelandic adventure - We had a little hiccup with one of the other popular tour companies and could not get onto the Glacier super Jeep tour and decided to book this private tour instead with Puffin Tours.. best decision we ever made! Villa was an amazing tour guide and was so flexible! He went through all of our previous experiences and customized our entire tour to accommodate what we were looking to see. We ended up doing a Glacier hike anyway which was far more exhilarating than we ever imagined! We had a wonderful time and got to squeeze in a few waterfalls with the daylight we had remaining, it was awesome. Best trip ever! Villa and his wife are amazing people and so knowledgeable! You won’t be disappointed :)
