Iceland, land of fire and ice, land of marvels and of natural spectacles, land of dark lava fields and of cool glacier lagoons. Stuck between Greenland and Norway just under the Arctic Circle, governed by whimsical volcanoes and populated by welcoming and goodhearted folks, Iceland truly is a land of contrasts.

Did you know that Iceland was the filming location for the Game of Thrones series, Batman Begins, Lara Croft - Tomb Raider and James Bond - Die Another Day? Get ready to be amazed! Hop on a boat and escape Reykjavik's harbour to go whale watching in a nearby bay, put your boots on and follow an expert guide on a 2 hour glacier hike, discover some remote black sand beaches and their fascinating basalt coloms commonly called "organ pipes" or wait for a dark early evening to hunt the famous elusive Northern Lights, the choice is yours! But don't wait too long ... Winter is coming!

Reviews Trips from Reykjavik
“Driver tried to collect us 20 mins earlier than stated ( 0810 instead of between 0830 and 0900). Driver was extremely safe at driving in the snowy road conditions but very slow we were over taken by several vehicles on the way to the snowmobiling. Snowmobiling due to visibility didn't get to see the ice cave. Visibility was poor. Had we have got there earlier maybe we would have had better visibility. Drive back took even longer than going.”
“Boat was lovely, I think it was rather crowded to be honest not much room to move or sit down if needed. Just disappointed with the value for money.”
“Disappointing that it states ‘3 hour pass' when we didn't get to spend 3 hours at the lagoon! We got picked up at 5pm, got to Sky Lagoon around 5:45, then picked up again at 8. By the time you get changed and into the lagoon, and considering the time to get out/changed again, you only get about 1.5 hours! Sky lagoon is amazing and would recommend but wouldn't book with Tui due to the poor time management!”
“I would like to suggest that you increase the time that is allowed for HOLIDAY makers to have the experience. We were collected late and therefore arrived late at the lagoon. I understand that our time there was extended but, the rush from getting out of the lagoon to get on to the coach was utterly unacceptable and completely ruined what was meant to be a relaxing experience. Sadly, as brilliant as the coach driver was, it felt like rushed school trip. I not recommend anyone to book with TUi”
