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

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

The view from a helicopter tour in Iceland is like none other. You are much closer to the ground than you would be on an airplane tour, meaning you have an unparalleled view of the landscape. Helicopter tours in Iceland 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.

Can I get a pickup from my Reykjavik accommodation for my helicopter tour?

Most helicopter tours leaving from Reykjavik meet at Reykjavik Airport, a short walk from downtown. Some tour operators do provide minibus transfers, while others do not. Please contact our team at info@guidetoiceland.is for further information.

What happens if the helicopter tour is cancelled?

The weather in Iceland can be unpredictable, so in the unfortunate event that your helicopter tour is canceled, you will have two options: you can either move your tour to another date or get a full refund. If you have any questions, either contact the vendor of your helicopter tour in Iceland or contact us at info@guidetoiceland.is.

Do the helicopter tours depart from Keflavik Airport or Reykjavik Airport?

Helicopter tours departing from Reykjavik will leave from a hangar near Reykjavik Domestic Airport. Please check the departure location on the tour page.

What time do most helicopter tours leaving from Reykjavik start?

In the booking process, you can choose to book either a morning or afternoon flight. Once you have booked your tour, we will contact you and confirm the exact timing as it can vary depending on the weather. See this complete guide to helicopter tours in Iceland for more information.
