Review of 12 Day Winter Package | Circle of Iceland & Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Happy and enjoyable 12-days trip. My travel advisor, Jósef was very helpful to reschedule our plan because of my flight delay to Reykjavik. Our guide Carlos was very experienced and great. He found different appropriate locations for us to take Northern Lights pictures and he shared with us on how to take good pictures. Only a small defect was that Reykjavik' hotel did not provide us twin room which we requested in our booking. Overall, a well organized and good tour.

Review of 12 Day Winter Package | Circle of Iceland & Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Incredibly enjoyable and fun. Very organized company. Already recommended Guide to Iceland to my friends. Prefectly well done. Our guide Pab is the best. Very knowledgable and has a lot of information to share with his children. He treats us like we were his families. If only there was a Pab app that I can buy just to tell me icelandic folklores and fairytales. He also has the best playlist during our entire trip.

Review of 11 Day Winter Package | The Ring Road with Snaefellsnes Peninsula

My husband and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary and wanted to do something epic. We certainly found it with this tour! What a beautiful and wild country! Our tour guide was Svein and he was AWESOME! He was very knowledgeable but super fun and entertaining! We saw the northern lights on 3 different nights while we were on the Ring Road. All the hotels except one were very nice. Breakfast was always good. I highly recommend adding the ice cave, glacier hiking, lava cave, glacier tunnels and whale watching tours. They were spectacular! The Icelandic people were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our only problem was that the Myvatn nature baths were closed when we were supposed to be there. However, Guide to Iceland quickly refunded us. It was very nice to not have to drive ourselves as the weather was rather sketchy on more than one day. We plan to go back in the summer. I highly recommend this trip and our tour guide, Svein.

Frequently asked questions

Are helicopter tours safe during COVID-19?

The helicopters used by most tour operators will seat between 4 and 8 people. It is unlikely you will maintain the required 2-meter distance between people, so masks will have to be worn. However, the tour operators follow the guidelines of Icelandic health authorities and sanitize commonly touched surfaces to keep everyone as safe as possible. 

Why choose a helicopter tour during COVID-19?

Well, first, it’s a helicopter! What a fantastic way to see some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Beyond that, a helicopter offers you a chance to see parts of the country in a small group. Depending on how many people are traveling in your party, you may be able to be the only ones on tour. 

What are the benefits of taking a helicopter tour, compared to taking a normal sightseeing tour?

The view from a helicopter is unlike any other. You are much closer to the ground than you would be on an airplane tour, meaning you have an unparalleled stretching landscape view. Helicopter tours also give you access to areas and views that would be unattainable from the ground, such as erupting volcanoes or the most desolate parts of the Highlands.

Do the helicopter companies offer pick-ups?

Some tour operators do provide minibus transfers, while others do not. Please contact our team on info@guidetoiceland.is for further information. 

What happens if the helicopter tour is cancelled?

In the unfortunate event that your helicopter tour is cancelled, you will have two options. You can either move your tour to another date and time or get a full refund.
