Skjol Center runs horse riding, atv & buggy in Golden Circle. We book them directly, so what you see here is their own availability and their own cancellation policy — at the same price you'd pay them.
“Skjól Camping is a spacious campsite located between the Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir hot springs in Iceland. The site offers ample room for tents and caravans, with facilities including electricity, toilets, showers. At the heart of our site is the cozy Skjól Bistro — a lively gathering spot that serves delicious comfort food in a relaxed, rustic setting. During the summer months, we also offer buggy rides — an exciting way to explore the stunning landscapes surrounding Skjól.”

All of the above is computed from Skjol Center's own 2 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0
Food at Geyser restaurant is ridiculous expensive. Better to drive 4 km to this restaurant. Service was quick and friendly. Food was fine. Pizza has a lot of cheese on it and the burger something sweet (which I didn’t like) fries were nice seasoned. Overall fine for lunch.

Super tasty large pizza's! The dough was nice, thin and crispy, the best.
The service was amazing.
The place is under construction right now, but the place is still open!

The food was really good. Friendly and polite staff. Sadly, it took nearly half an hour before we could place the order. The restaurant was packed but there was only one waiter. The food was fast though.

Amazing food and a cool building. We had the Lamb schnitzel which we haven’t been able to find anywhere outside of Australia! It was just up the road from the Geyser and very quiet at the time. Easy parking to do would definitely recommend it if near the geyser! They also spoke excellent English. Thanks for a great meal :)

No. We sell Skjol Center's tours at the price they set, through their own booking system, so the seat costs the same here as on their site. What you get here in addition is one checkout for every tour in your trip, whoever runs it, and one place to turn if plans change.
Does Skjol Center pick up from hotels?+
None of the 2 Skjol Center tours we sell includes a hotel pickup. Each tour page gives the meeting point.
What is Skjol Center's cancellation policy?+
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start. The exact window is printed on every tour page and in your confirmation, and a refund goes back to the card you paid with.
Which languages are Skjol Center tours guided in?+
Guidance is in English, according to their own product records. Where a tour is audio-guided rather than led by a person, the tour page says so.
Is there a minimum age on Skjol Center tours?+
Yes, on 2 of their 2 tours, the lowest being 6. The rest set no minimum. The planner filters by your youngest traveller if you give it ages.
How is Skjol Center rated?+
4.5 out of 5 on Google from 73 reviews of the company. That is the operator's score, not a rating of any one tour; our own guests' reviews of their tours, where we have them, are shown on this page and on the tour pages.
