A day well-spent with Dofri in the Snæfellsnes Peninsula (despite the rain) - Its hard to add to the 5-star reviews below - they're all true! Fantastic, memorable! The Snæfellsökull volcano was enshrouded in clouds and rain, but we still had a wonderful day seeing what we could of the stark, volcanic landscape and listening to Thomas’ endlessly-fascinating narration. He even threw in details about his own personal history. By the end of our trip, we had what we considered an international friend. We also scheduled an aurora tour with him, that, alas, we abandoned after a few hours of driving around looking, unsuccessfully, for a spot of clear skies. He was nice enough to take us out for another tour on our last night that was successful. (Photos are posted in the next review.) We shall return! PS: Some advice for people booking any tour: Turn off your cell phones, watch the astounding scenery, and listen to the Guide (they're Guides not drivers) telling you about the history, culture, and geology of Iceland.

Outstanding tours and service! - Reykjavik Erupts was absolutely white glove service! The van that was provided was very clean and very spacious. Dofri our guide was very friendly and had a microphone so everyone could hear him explain what we were seeing as well as some wonderful stories and history about Iceland! My parents are a bit slower moving and he was very helpful assisting them when needed as well as keeping track of us all at every stop! Dofri also took us to see the northern lights and was persistent about it-even had us sing as luck to hopefully spot them haha! Luckily on the very last night of our stay we saw them! Dofri went above and beyond helping my bf then, now fiancé with getting the details right for the job proposal! We will be back and definitely will be booking again with Reykjavík Errupts !

Fantastic company to work with to bring the best trip for your group and family. - Reykjavik Erupts and Dofri were amazing for our recent family vacation to Iceland. Our trip to the Snaefellness Peninsula was great in a 10 person Mercedes Van that was incredibly nice. We got to see all of the sights on an amazingly beautiful day. Dofri took is off the beaten path to see his favorite parts of the traditional route and shared with us his personal stories growing up in Iceland. We started the day by feeding his beautiful Icelandic horses which was a highlight for my 5 and 3 year olds. Dofri was fantastic with my kids even looking after them as my wife and I wanted to go on a more challenging hike. Dofri is great to work with customizing the trip to be perfect for you family. Do not hesitate to reach out to him to make the best trip possible for your group. He knows Iceland better than anyone I've ever met and wants to give you a truly unique experience that will last with you a lifetime, and even better, change your life. I consider Dofri part of my family now from our 3 days with him and am looking forward to coming back to Iceland again!

Reykjavik Erupts is a wonderful tour company in Iceland! Snaefellsnes is hard to pronounce but amazing :) - Incredible! The trip to Snaefellsness organized through Reykjavik Erupts was flawless. Dofri, the owner of the company and our guide, was kind, knowledgeable, funny and very organized / flexible with the trip! The Snaefellsness peninsula includes some of the most breathaking and beautiful sights in all of Iceland. Our group visited Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Kirkjufell Mountain, Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach with very fun lifting stones, Vatnshellir Lava Tunnel Cave and the Arnarstapi village which had incredile hexagonal basalt columns and coastal scenery, we even saw a whale! I've also done this tour in the summer and with more light we also visited a few other cool waterfalls and had a blast. Choose Reykjavik Erupts as your tour company and you will have the experience of a lifetime, thanks Dofri!

Awesome tour of Snaefellsness! - Amazing tour! We got an amazing, personalized experience with Dagur, who helped create a memory that’ll last forever! The beautiful sights were supplemented with great fun facts, and leisure to go at our own pace. Could not recommend this tour enough!

Reykjavik Erupts is the Best! - I used Reykjavik Erupts while studying abroad in Iceland this semester, and I am so happy they were our tour guides. Our drivers, Dagur and Dofri, were entertaining and insightful throughout the journey. They had amazing stories and took us to many unique places not frequented by other tourists. I would recommend using this company to anyone looking to experience Iceland like never before. Thank you for making my experience in Iceland so wonderful!
