We had an amazing day!! Tour bus and guide (Ace) were amazing! Lots of extra information and little stops to see interesting things en route! Snorkelling was amazing and small group was perfect. Anna was a great guide! And good photos too! Once in a lifetime activity! Golden circle was great too! Good way to see the sights in smaller and more focused tour! Can’t recommend enough!

We really enjoyed this activity - very well organised and we were looked after all the way through by our fantastic guide Elsa. If you're worried about it being cold, so long as you wear extra socks and a thermal base layer you don't feel it on your body; your hands and face do get cold, but you warm up quickly with the hot chocolate they provide afterward. You also get changed in a trailer not in the open car park which is what we thought!! Elsa took loads of Gopro photos & sent them by the end of the day for us to download so we have loads of memories. A really great experience, and thoroughly recommended.

Snorkelling was a brilliant experience and the French girl who lead our group was awesome…. An absolute credit to her company. She explained everything perfectly and added a sprinkle of humour whilst doing it to put everyone at ease. The golden circle tour was hard work. The geyser was awesome to see and the waterfall was pretty impressive and we did stop at a diary farm to be fair but 3 just stops in 6 hours was not great. Too much emphasis put on picking people up and dropping off outside their hotels which adds too much time. The tour Stick to the main bus routes in the city in my opinion so less time wasted on travel
