Iceland in Motion

My husband I really enjoyed this tour with our guide, Jon! The roads to get to Reykjadalur were rough as we approached the hiking site, but Jon knew exactly where to go for the best starting point. Once we hiked down to the hot springs, we enjoyed the whole river to ourselves for quite awhile before any others showed up. The experience was so serene and peaceful. Once we were ready to make the hike back, we first stopped at a crevice where fresh cold water came spilling out and filled our water bottles. It was fantastic! Boots are a must for this hike- lots of loose rocks. Jon was an excellent guide and made good conversation throughout our tour. Highly recommend this one!

We had a great time! We had a little bit of an issue with our pickup, as we had requested being picked up at the bus station, and were told that was okay, but the morning of, it seemed as though this detail hadn’t been fully communicated with the operator and we had to confirm once again that this is where we would be picked up. We ended up being met by a woman named Johanna, and essentially ended up getting a private tour for the day. Not sure if this was intentional or a result of the communication discrepancy, but we didn’t mind! It made for a day that was tailored to our pace and level of enjoyment. Johanna provided us with a lot of information about life in Iceland as well as the places we visited. Gjain was a favorite, an absolute oasis. We enjoyed the entire tour and got to see what Iceland’s famed F-roads had to offer.

Thank you so much Thor for an amazing memory that will be with us forever.

This tour was the highlight of our 7 days in Iceland (with Snaefellsnes being a very close second!). Thor was very friendly and knowledgeable. Having a guide that grew up in Iceland and knew about the culture and area was a huge benefit. He took us off the beaten path to places most people would never see. We had many questions about Hekla, and instead of just answering them, he offered to change a portion of the tour so we could spend some time exploring the volcano. It was amazing. We appreciated his flexibility and desire to show us the things we wanted to see. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Don't hesitate to book it!
