Cancellation for this tour
Cancelling costs 10% of the price within 7 days of departure, rising to 50% within 2 days. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 12 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
- Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

We wanted a smaller group tour for our time in Iceland and came across Try Iceland Tours. So glad we did, Adam was brilliant. We were picked up at our hotel in his very comfy, clean and warm Jeep. There were just 4 of us on the trip which was amazing compared to being on a huge coach tour. We had a brilliant tour around the Golden Circle, with plenty time at each stop to explore. We never felt rushed. Adam took us to a great restaurant too before we started our search for the Northern Lights. He drove North to some great spots, very dark and no city lights in sight. We stopped at 3 places overall. Seeing the lights and getting some amazing photos. I think we were lucky with the display they gave us though, as this isn't guaranteed but it was incredible, memories to last a lifetime! Adam was very knowledgeable about Iceland and answered any questions we had as well as giving us info along the journey. We hope to return one summer and do a trip with him again, would 100% recommend if you want a much more personal and chilled out tour. Thank you, Adam! See you again soon.

A great experience in the Golden Circle and Northern Lights tour. Adam collected us from the hotel in his jeep and then took us to the iconic sights of the Golden Circle. As the Northern Lights were clouded out (most of the day was a snowstorm) we finished up in the Secret Lagoon, Iceland’s oldest thermal public baths.

My husband and I joined a small group tour of the Highlands and Landmannalaugar. Adam is an incredible tour guide, I would not take a tour of Iceland any other way. He takes you to spots he knows of where the giant tour groups don't go. It's the first nature tour I've had where I felt like I was actually seeing something without a swarm of people. He really let's you drive the pace of the day. At one point he even drove us around looking for a place to buy towels for the hotspring! He's got great stories to tell and has collected an incredible amount of Icelandic knowledge in his time here. Choose Try Iceland!

We booked an Golden Circle Afternoon & Northern Lights tour with Adam and Try Iceland and I couldn't be more thrilled that we did. We weren't sure we would be able to see the lights, so Adam asked us to bring swimsuits so he could take us to a hot spring instead just in case. Well, turns out we had a lot of luck on our trip because the Lights were incredible AND we got to see them from the hot spring. Adam was an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide, who catered to our love of Game of Thrones by showing us a few of the scenes on our tour, exploring the incredible golden circle with us AND adding his awesome photography in to boot. I wouldn't hesitate to book all my tours with Try Iceland and Adam the next time I am there!

- Blue Lagoon transfer: private car, shuttle or taxi?A private Blue Lagoon transfer costs €107 to €232 per car. Under three people the bus is cheaper; with luggage or a late flight the car wins.
- Keflavík Airport transfer: shared shuttle or private?Every Iceland trip starts at Keflavík. Shared shuttle or private transfer? The right answer depends on group size and landing time more than budget.
- Private family tours in Iceland: what they costTaste Iceland's private family tours run €1,024 to €1,595 per booking. What you get for that, which age limits apply, and when a cheaper family tour wins.
