Great trip - Got to walk on lava, see the steam boring from the fields. Guide stopped off at multiple locations prior to the Lava hike which had fantastic views. Very enjoyable

A bit of a hike but well worth the effort - My wife and I booked this tour many months prior to the actual tour hoping that the volcano would be active. Although it was not erupting, we were simply amazed by the site of the solidified lava flows and to be able to see it still steaming was most impressive. We took a lot of photos of this beautiful area, but there just isn't a photo that does the place justice. You have to experience the sights and sounds and with a really great tour guide like we had to truly appreciate the experience as a whole. I would recommend this to anyone who can appreciate the magnificence and power of nature.

Great hike but no lava - I am an avid hiker so I really enjoyed this excursion. The volcano still has some heat present with steam but we were not able to get close enough to see any lava at the surface if that is what you want to see you would need to book shortly after an eruption

Volcano hike tour - Alan was our tour guide , he was extremely knowledgeable and provided interesting facts throughout the hike. He provided background and fun facts in general about Iceland. The hike was beautiful, we did a couple of different stops and got to see different views of where volcanos erupted. Great tour guide and great reliable tour company

highly recommended - It was my first tour in Iceland, expectations were very high because I wanted to see lava, hot liquid red lava on this tour. The tour leader Mr. Kalman explained politely and clearly that the eruption was over so we couldn't see it. But the tour was very nice, we walked a lot next to the lava fields and the guide explained a lot about volcanic eruptions and geography. highly recommended.
