ウィンターパッケージ

素晴らしいバスツアーでした。 アイスケーブに行くまでの道中と帰り道で、南部のビューポイントを順番に回ってくれます。 宿泊地のヘプンでは運良くオーロラも見ることができました。これはツアーに含まれるサービスではありませんが、聞けば宿泊ホテルの近くのビューポイントを教えてくれます。 トイレ休憩も頻繁にとってくれるので安心です。

年始に参加しました。 小型バスということでしたが、中型の比較的年季の入ったバスでした。(繁忙期だからでしょうか？特に不具合はありませんでしたが) 初日スコウガフォスの滝を見たあたりから急に天候が変わり、ブラックサンドビーチでは立っていられないほどの吹雪になったため急遽予定していたhofnのホテルでなくvikのDyrholaeyというホテルに滞在することになりました。後からその日の夕方からスタックした車が大量にあったという話を聞き、ガイドさんの適切な判断に感服しました。 2日目は運良く天候が回復し、氷の洞窟を訪れることが出来ました。早朝にホテルを出発したため、まだ混んでいない時間に入ることが出来落ち着いて観光できたのが嬉しかったです。洞窟を出た後、なだらかな氷河で滑り台をしたのもとても楽しかったです。(ガイドさんが率先してやっていました) 一点だけ、ホテルで有料の夕食をとったのですが、支払いの方法がいまいち説明不足で、結果5組がチェックアウト時に支払い忘れ、別途各自ホテルにpaypalなどで払っといて、と言われました。当然払い忘れたこちらが悪いのですが、出来ればホテル出発時人数確認の時にでも、支払い忘れがないか一言確認してもらえるとありがたかったです。 ツアー内容自体は予定外の吹雪含め、大満足な内容でした。非常におすすめです。

申し込み時の手続き、ガイドやドライバーの応対など、大変気持ちの良いサービスを受けることができ、また、旅程内容も大満足です。 今回こちらのツアーを利用する決め手になったのはハイキングブーツの貸し出しがあったからですが、状態の良いものを貸していただけました。 それぞれの観光スポットでは十分な見学時間が取られている一方、ツアー参加者が時間に正確な方ばかりでしたので、ガイドオススメのシークレットスポット（本当は元々予定されていた？）にも案内していただけました。 ガイドの情報量は多く、英語も上手く、そして何よりも人柄が素晴らしく、ツアーを盛り上げてくださいました。 Hótel Höfnの周りには外食できるところがあまりないようでしたので、ホテルのレストランで食べるか、コンビニなどで購入して食べるかの選択肢しかないと考えておいた方が良いです。 私はホテルのレストランで名物のロブスター料理を食べましたが、とても美味しかったです。 ただ、一度に多くの客が来たためホール担当のスタッフが混乱されており、予めバス移動中に注文するものをガイド経由で頼んでおいたのですが、料理が来るまでに大変時間がかかりました。 あいにくオーロラを見ることも氷の洞窟に入ることもできませんでしたが、それをカバーする魅力がアイスランドにはたくさんあり、大変満足しております。

正直なところ、過去のツアーでは最悪でした。まず時間になっても来ない。15分前にはいてね。とのことだったが、ピックアップを忘れる。メールをし、電話したが現在使えない番号。電話が来たが、1時間の遅れ。10万のツアーの1時間は貴重だし、この不安感も責任とってほしい。その後は1日のグループと行動。遅れたのに特に気遣いなし。本当に最悪な1日でした。洞窟も見れず。ネットでは返金されるというが、洞窟は入れず、ピックアップも遅れたのに、まだ何もありません。ちなみにguide to icelandではなくオーロラツアーという会社が催行。10万もとっておいて責任感が全くないですね。2日目は氷河が中心で、3日目はゴールデンサークル。3日目は意味ないです。ワンデーツアーでいいと思います。オーロラは雰囲気で行かないだろうと思ってたけど、なしでした。行きませんでした。ちなみに個人で旅行していた人は観れたそうです。ツアーの意味なしwもしアイスランドに行くなら、可能ならレンタカーで個人で行くのがいいかもしれません。私ならそうします。

初日大雪で運転が心配でしたが、走りやすい道路で問題なく走行できました、 旅行中オーロラも3日間見れ、とても満足で有意義な旅行ができました、 次回夏のアイスランドもセルフドライブツアーで行きたいと思います、 ツアー担当者の方がとても親切丁寧だったおかげです、有難うございました。

This was the worst and the most horrible tour that I have ever joined. 1. Blue-lagoon : Mistook the date of the reservation by Guide to Iceland. We almost could not enter the blue-lagoon. 2. Golden-Circle : Lost the tourist so much of three times even in a tour by Trips Iceland. Also the guide guy did not look for the lost person, then finally another tourist had to look for lost persons every time. 3. All tour : No clear time schedule for every tour. Finally we had to cancel a restaurant that we really wanted to go due to no clear time schedule (e.g. when we expect to come back to Reykjavik, where is the next destination etc. ). I believe the main faulty is Guide to Iceland. Guide to Iceland just did the coordinate of each tours. But they have not checked the details of each tours. To be honest, this is my first time that I felt I want tour company to pay back the tour expense. I'm sorry for the bad comment but it is true.

２日間、楽しかったです。オーロラは見えませんですしたが、以外は順調。氷の洞窟は日々違うので、写真と同じとはいきませんが、それでも素晴らしい光景でした。

Overall, it was a fantastic 3 day tour . Although the weather is changeable, our tour guide Heimir rearrange the order of the stops flexibly to make sure we could join both glacier hiking , ice cave and other spots. To be honest, I felt a little disappointed about the glacier hiking due to the time we staying on the glacier. The time was quite short but I thought is was disrpted by the bad weather. The storm came right away when we arrived the parking lot. As for ice cave, we were really lucky to see a quite big and beautiful one . And we had enough time to take pictures in the cave and there were only our group. We finished these two activities on the second day because the weather was awful on the third day. Besides, we were unlucky that it wasn’t the right time to see the dimonds on the beach ,which I eager to see, however; our gide Heimir took us to another place th see the dimonds near the glacier . Dimonds there were really spectacular and was one of my favorite spots in Iceland . To conclude, I felt thankful for the all arrangement of our guide , or we might miss those activities and amazing sceneries if I we went by ourselves . I definitely satisfy this 3 day tour!

Our tour was in early March 2018. We were lucky with the weather and it was beautiful every day. The tour was easy to setup up just note the communications might not be immediate depending on time zone (I am in US). It did not affect any of the travel. I recommend at your hotel to ask where the tour buses pick up passengers. Ours was not clear and our guide Sveinbjorn had to search us out. Sveinbjorn was a fantastic guide. Was a safe driver and could definitely relax and watch the scenery without worry. He takes pride in his country and enjoys talking about it with a passion. He made sure were on time and had it set where we arrived earlier at places then other tour groups which made it easy for us to get around. If the place was dangerous he made sure the group knew (multiple times). What I liked is I learned more about Iceland from him then any other resource. Now more about the trip. Each day we were on the road by 8 local time so the day starts early. All the hotels were nice and there were some brand new ones. A travel note is once you are at a hotel expect to be there and no other exploring since they are isolated. I personally was nervous about hiking the glacier but our guide (did not remember his name) kept me at ease and it was a great experience. The ice caves were fantastic and a lot of it was due to our guide Faye. She kept us entertained and played Icelandic rock music for us. All the places we stopped were interesting and we were glad we did the extended tours to the east side of the island (away from most of the tourists). I think my only frustrating thing was the end of the tour from Akureyri back to Reykjavík. We did not spend any time in Akureyri because our plane left about 11:00am local time. Might have been nice to seen more of Akureyri. And once we arrived back in Reykjavík we assumed there would be transportation since the tour asked where we were staying once we got back in Reykjavík but we had to find it ourselves. Plenty of taxis just be aware. I recommend a new visitor to the island to use a tour company and I think you will enjoy your stay

We joined the 8-day tour with our guide Svein in March, hunting for amazing Aurora and beautiful landscapes. In the end, I left my camera on the minibus. Svein was so kind to send it back to me. I was really appreciate it.

I really want to take the time to write a proper review for this awesome tour. I just got back home to the USA last night, and am off again tomorrow on a business trip to TX, so this has to be brief right now! It's not difficult to give this tour 5 stars ! Our guide, Olafur Valtyr Rognvaldsson (better and more easily known as OLI) was awesome! He kept us entertained throughout the tour, and was a font of all knowledge relating to Iceland and its heritage. He was also our driver (we did not have both a driver and a guide, Oli did double duty) and we felt very safe with him driving through the snow and rain. I was glad I was not driving in that! Our minibus seated 20, and there were 18 of us on the tour, so it was a little snug in the bus, but not too bad. (The worst part was the couple who kept eating dried fish - the smell of very fishy dried fish in a warm bus was a little nauseating to say the least!) Oli was pretty good at keeping us on schedule, and was very flexible in moving things around so that we were able to see all the major sites in reasonably good weather. We did the Ice Cave Walk on the second day rather than the third day to take advantage of the fact that it was the end of the season and it would be closing on our last day. We also went to a different glacier from the original one on our schedule because the snow was coming down thick and fast on the one we were supposed to climb and it would not have been a pleasant trek. We had an awesome guide for the glacier walk - he made sure we were all safe, and gave us lots of information about the glacier. We also had the opportunity to sample nature's 'champagne' - 700yr old crystal clear ice! Big G (our guide) climbed up a ways to hack out some clean and clear ice for us to try. We were glad of it at that point, as the climb up the glacier left us all hot and sweaty, despite the cool weather! All of the areas we visited were outstanding. The waterfalls, the beaches, the national parks were spectacular and we had plenty of time at each to enjoy the sites. The Geyser was interesting ... I expected something like Old Faithful, but it was a much tamer version! Still fun, though! One of the most fun parts of the trip was when Oli took us to a 'secret' waterfall - we waded through a stream and climbed over rocks to get through an opening and when we entered through the gap in the rocks, there was a fantastic waterfall hidden from the road. Really cool way to end our tour! Oli also took us to see the Icelandic horses, which wasn't technically a part of the tour, but was a testament to his flexibility and him wanting us to have a great experience. He also pointed out a great place to see the Aurora, but unfortunately, we had cloud both nights and so we were not able to view that natural phenomenon. Although we were there at the beginning of April, it was still pretty chilly in the mornings and evenings, and when the wind blew it was bitingly cold! I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the two hotels we stayed in. Both were very clean, and while the rooms were small, modern and minimalist, they were very comfortable. Be warned, though, that the food in the hotels is VERY expensive! We were a captive audience at the first hotel and dinner was $US44 a person - a small bbq chicken breast, three boiled potatoes and a scoop of boiled vegetables!! Tasty, but extortionately priced for what really could only be described as Diner food. The second hotel, in Hofn, was expensive too, but the food was stellar and much better value than the first hotel. Regardless, both hotels were very nice and food in Iceland is very expensive everywhere. The breakfasts in both hotels were very nice and you could certainly eat a substantial amount to keep you going throughout the day. I would, without a shadow of doubt, recommend this tour if you want to experience Iceland at its best. Our guide, Oli, was excellent and from what I am reading from other reviews, so are all the other guides used by Aurora Hunters. But, of course, we think we got the best one!!! Thanks to Oli (Olafur Valtyr Rognvaldsson - I sure hope I spelled that correctly!) we had a fantastic trip.

Just came back from the tour and everything was great. The whole trip was well organised and we were also very lucky with the weather .... I'm sorry to say it is of great importance. We started early and I strongly recommend to do that to beat the biggest crowds. Do double check the roads while you have Wifi as the GPS took us on a closed road and we ended up doing a little 100 km detour... We had the comfort package and all hotels were great except the last one. First five nights were all at nice clean hotels but the last one in Reykjavik was at the Fosshotel Baron, great location but not very updated or clean. Definitely not a comfort hotel but more of a budget. As many others noted food is expensive, even if you eat hamburgers and pizza. I would absolutely recommend to book with Guid to Iceland as this tour really gets yo to see the major attractions. We drove 1600 km in 5 days so get ready to drive :-)

We completed this tour in March 2018 and our tour guide was Hildigunnur(Hildi). The whole tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our wonderful guide Hildi was a great ambassador for her country and ensured that we not only enjoyed the trip but also received a great insight into the history, culture and geography of Iceland. Nothing was too much trouble for her as she would help us with scheduled or unscheduled stops for photos, trying local produce and understand in local folklore. The trip was well planned with convenient stops and lovely accommodation. The atmosphere which Hildi created was one of comfort and relaxation while enjoying some unbelievable scenery. We enjoyed not having to rush which we would have done if we did day tours from Reykjavik. All in all a great tour with an excellent, caring and fun tour guide.

Wasn't sure whether a tour was the way to go but it was great. Our guide Hilmar navigated some ferocious weather expertly and then adjusted our schedule the next day when the roads closed. That let us get in all we were promised plus some bonus sites despite the delay. His stories and knowledge enhanced the trip for sure and having a driver let me concentrate on the sights. Great trip.

Ragnheiður was a fun and great guide with an amazingly positive attitude and we enjoyed the trip immensely. She kept us very comfortable and made the most of our time with good pacing of the viewpoints and visits with plenty of rest-stops in between. The sights were all well picked and provided a wonderful view into the natural treasures of Iceland. Very happy with the tour and our wonderful guide Ragnheiður.
