Whirlwind day trip - We took this day tour during a short stay, in order to maximise the number of sites we could see. Was a great day out and we felt that we achieved a large amount during the day. We got picked up from bus stop 6 by coach at around 8.30am, the coach was comfortable and warm. It was raining heavily on the day so make sure you have the correct waterproof gear on, including backpack covers or you'll be in for a soggy day. As an aside, bus stop 6 does not have any shelter from the elements, so get your waterproofs on before you leave the hotel, we joined a large group of other travellers seeking shelter across the road in an office doorway, not sure the office staff would have been pleased if it was later in the day! The views were simply stunning and it was great to stop regularly and to hear commentary local history from out guide. The hike element of the day is not too taxing, we were out for about 2 hours. The weather was not too kind to us on the day we went with high winds and driving snow, so the views were limited but, seeing the smoking lava fields were superb. I would give 2 bits of advice: 1) If you are going outside the Summer....... take the right outdoor gear, layers, waterproof top and bottoms, hat and gloves, it gets really cold and the weather can change quickly. Hiking boots are also essential. I would also take a change of footwear, socks and bottoms. You can leave your bags on the coach, so it is worth taking extra clothing to stay warm and enjoy the whole day, 2) Make sure you eat a good breakfast before you go and take some snacks with you. You can stop and eat at the Blue Lagoon but, that is not until around 1.30pm, so you would be seriously hungry if you skipped breakfast. I would also take a flask or a insulated mug with a hot drink in next time, was cold when we got back on the coach from the hike. Our trip dropped some people off at the Blue Lagoon whilst we went on to the lighthouse and the continents bridge, both great photo opportunities. It is a full-on day trip, we didn't get back until after 6pm but, if you are on a short stay trip it is a great way to get a flavour of Iceland, the stunning scenery and the geological make up of the island. Overall, I would recommend this trip and enjoyed it thoroughly. Hats off to our driver and guide for making it such an enjoyable day.

Fulfilling day - We had a great experience with Kalman and the blue lagoon at the end of the day was a perfect way to end the trip. It was a fulfilling day that striked the right balance between active and relaxing.

Other worldly views! - This was such an interesting tour. You got to explore all of the different landscapes of Iceland, that really sets it apart. The hike wasn’t anything too strenuous, so it was a nice way to see amazing views and get some exercise in. Our guide, Alan, was so kind and informative. The weather wasn’t very good during the hike part, and he made sure everyone was safe and staying all together. It was an amazing way to spend the day!

Just about perfect - From majestic lakeland scenery to exciting boiling mud pools. A great overall view of the volcano and surrounding area after a relatively moderate hike. Got close to and even on the volcano too. The two guides were incredibly knowledgeable and informative. I've done lots of tours and this is probably the best one I've done.

A memorable day - The tectonic plates, the waterfalls, lakes, volcano site and geysers we visited were just amazing! Luckily the weather was good and not windy. I was astonished that we actually climbed to the top of the mountain! Walked in-between the tectonic plates! Saw amazing waterfalls. The day was very memorable. All in all good day

cancelled tour. - this tour was cancelled. The alternative trip was Glacier lagoon tour which is excellent. The volcano tour was probably possible if it was kept at a safer distance.
