Review of Iceland’s Raufarhólshellir Lava Tunnel, with geology, darkness, winter tips, price advice, and who should book this one-hour tour.
“The tunnel is very well maintained and the guide is very knowledgeable and informative. We were a few minutes lated and they were very gracious to wait up and let us still join. The only thing I didn’t quite like was the group size was quite large and got crowded inside the tunnel. There is also very little time actual time by yourself inside the tunnel. I wish the tour was a bit longer.”

Snorkel between Iceland’s tectonic plates at Silfra, with clear glacial water, expert guides, dry suits, hot chocolate, and small groups.
“Beautiful day for snorkeling! The water was crystal clear and I barely felt the cold. Was a very unique and incredible experience and I would absolutely go again. Our guide GC made us comfortable and confident before getting into the freezing water and took fantastic photos of us and even made a great supper location recommendation. The whole team was fantastic!”
Bake Icelandic lava bread in geothermal soil, hear local stories, and taste warm rye with butter and smoked trout near the Golden Circle.
“We chose the Geothermal Bread Baking Experience while on our Golden Circle tour. We drove the Golden Circle in our rental car so wanted to take is as many of the sights and experiences we possibly could. Laugarvatn Fontana sits between Thingvellir National Park and Geysir so was a perfect location for our boys to experience something different. The tour itself is pretty short but the guide does a great job explaining the process of making and cooking the bread. It was great to sample the freshly cooked bread and smoked trout back inside. Certainly worth a visit!”

Review of Laugarvatn Fontana Geothermal Baths, with hot pools, steam rooms, lake views, practical tips, and value advice.
“First of all- you do NOT need to have a printed voucher and that should be updated in the description. I went to a lot of trouble to get mine printed and then they didn’t even ask for any voucher at all, I just gave my name and they let me in. Second- this place is amazing! It was so empty on a Sunday morning that me and my friend basically had the place to ourselves. It was 25F outside and the experience was magical! I even did the cold plunge in the lake and it felt so good to jump back into the warm waters. Highly recommend! The locker…”
