This tour was great. We... - This tour was great. We had a small group. So the guide let us stop wherever we wanted on the way there to take photos. The hike was a lot of easier than aniticipated . Was a gradual incline for the most part. Highly recommend!

Stunning Views - Highly recommend! Our guide, Alain, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable about Iceland’s history and geography. He joined us at every stop to share stories and guide us through the views. The scenery was stunning, though the hike was quite tough if you don't exercise regularly. Tip: The wind on the volcano is brutal. Wear dark clothes, bring gloves and a beanie, but AVOID baseball caps—they’ll blow away!

Reykjanes Peninsula Tour - The truth, due to weather alerts could not make the complete walk, I found it very responsible of the company to change the itinerary in order to take care of ourselves, also, we were compensated very well adding additional stopping points of the peninsula of Reykjanes that were not planned in compensation for what could not be done, everything excellent, and the guide even talk!!

Incredible Volcano Tour with Ottar! - This was easily one of the best experiences I’ve had in Iceland! Our guide, Ottar, was absolutely amazing — knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about Iceland’s geology and history. He made the entire trip from Reykjavík to the volcano eruption site unforgettable. Ottar explained everything about the volcanic activity in a way that was easy to understand, and his excitement was contagious. You could tell he truly loves what he does. He also made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable during the hike, taking time to answer questions and point out fascinating details along the way. If you’re thinking about seeing the eruption site, book this tour and hope you get Ottar — he turns an already incredible natural wonder into something truly special.

Volcano hike without alerts - I could put in the 5 stars but it's important that you take care of the details. They didn't advise that my trip would be through another agency, which creates uncertainty. Outside of that, the explanation and guidance to each visit was complete and clear from Juliana
