Excellent Tour! - Oddi was an incredible guide! He took us to the site of the 2021 eruption and to some geothermal pools nearby. He told fun stories and brought us treats to consume at the mouth of a cave made of cooled lava. He couldn’t have been more kind, funny, or knowledgeable. Thank you for a great day!

Cooking an egg on the moon! - We loved our afternoon hike with Haffi (the volcano chef). We really wanted to hike but were concerned with safety as eruptions are pretty imminent right now. Being with a local, experienced guide made all the difference!
He made sure we were fit enough and equipped for the hike, helping us find the best path up and down the crater in some crazy wind. He also had a heat scanner and brought us to some of the hot spots, explaining how the crater formed, filled the valleys, broke out to the sea, etc. And yes; he’s cooked an egg over one of the fissures too.
We would highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for a solid hike and a lesson on Icelandic volcanic history. And a few laughs too. Thanks Haffi!!

Private tour with Gudni - Our tour guide, Gudni, was great, arrived on time and was friendly and offered loads of local knowledge and facts during the day. The whole day was set at our pace and our boys enjoyed playing in the snow while at the top of the volcano. Highly recommend this tour if you want a great day, tour guide and memories

Private tour of volcanic fields- must see!! - Could not recommend this tour and company more! We had Gudni as our guide, and this guy knew EVERYTHING! Took us off the beaten path away from the tourists and was great company along the way. Loved having a private tour without a massive group.

5/5! - I was travelling with my dad and everything went super well. 5/5 service! Our guide was so professional and we had fun day together. We saw volcanoes and got to walk in lava. Hot chocolate was on top! 🫶In addition we got so much information about Iceland and it's culture in general. Highly recommended private trip!

Amazing! Must experience. - Well I thought this would be a bit of a walk, how wrong was I haha. It was amazing even though I’ve never been hiking before, I didn’t really know what to expect but the guide Sigrun made sure we were ok all the time and took it at our pace. She was so knowledgeable and we had a great time. The views were breathtaking!! It didn’t feel real at the top of the mountain so peaceful. To stand on the 2021 larva and feel the heat in the cracks was incredible, thank you so much!

Volcano tour with Sigrún - What an amazing experience with the most breath taking views. Getting up close to learning all about the volcanos in the area was wonderful. Our guide Sigrún had so much knowledge about the volcanos and previous eruptions makes this trip worth doing. Thank you for the best time, Cat and Carl

Fantastic Guide and Tour Company - Without doubt one of the best private tours my family has ever taken. It made our first trip to Iceland unforgettable.
Our guide Oddi arrived 10 minutes prior to our scheduled departure and made sure we knew that he was entirely at our disposal and there was no rush and the day was ours.
Once we all loaded up into his tour van we started our journey to hike the Fagrafalsfjall Volcano. Not only were we able to see the eruption site from 2021 we also had a great view of the latest volcanic eruption that took place on December 18.
Oddi was extremely knowledgeable about all things Iceland and made sure the hiking was at a pace that the whole family could good, handle and enjoy.
Oddi is such a warm personality and highly knowledgeable guide. We truly enjoyed him hiking the family through the area. The scenery was otherworldly and it was a once in a life time experience to walk on a lava field that was still smoking.
Many thanks again and I recommend Oddi and 2Go Iceland for all your Icelandic tours.
