    8 action packed days around Iceland

    We did the 8 day troll.is trip around Iceland. It was a good trip. Our first 5 days were drizzly, but with a good coat and leggings we enjoyed ourselves. Particular highlights were the icebergs in the glacier lagoon, the glacier walk, puffins close up, the multitudes of waterfalls of all types, and the magnificent West country in the sun. From Akureyri on it was bluebird! Our guide Thor was brilliant. He was knowledgeable and answered practically every question put to him. He herded us around the place with care and compassion. Our accommodation was two star. This was an excellent trip, recommended!

    Great experience with a professional giide

    Me and my brother had a fantastic experience during these 8days, most of them are well packed with 5-star unforgettable attractions. John, the guide, did a lot to help to reveal in-depth that amazing country - not only as a guide, but also as a professional geographer! We also were lucky with an amiable people in our group, gentle and intelligent! My recommendation - don't skip the 3 optional attractions - bathing, boating between the icebergs and lava cave. Also I recommend to rent waterproof cloths, they are of an excellent quality and its a good value deal.

    Great tour experience

    The 8-day tour was excellent. We got to see many of the interesting sights and experiences. We visited the ice cave, did glacier hike, whale watching, but only a couple dolphin sized whales were spotted, saw the puffin colony, diamond beach, Geysir, etc. We also did all the optional excursions including boat tour among icebergs, horseback riding, VOK bath, lava cave, these were great and interesting. The hotels we stayed at were generally good. Our guide Gylfi was excellent and funny; he made the trip more enjoyable. The tour was small (around 18-19 people) so it was good for time management. This tour is best for first time visitor to Iceland and wishing to see the best known sights and experiences on offer from Iceland.

    Excellent!

    Our guide (Jhon) was amazing! You can tell he loves what he does, and puts a lot of effort into making it the best experience. If you want the full package plus some, hes definitely your guy. I had a great time, no notes.

    Best experience in Iceland - John is the guide you want!

    If you want an amaizing experience with an amaizing guide...you've found it. Iceland is vast and a bit overwhelming if you've never been there before...there is a lot to do and see! I was immediately set at ease on day 1 with our tour guide John. He was on-time, well organized and laid out his plan for our trip as soon as we were all picked up. John has an unlimited well of knowledge and energy which made the entire experience that much more enjoyable. He did a great job of keeping us on time while letting us enjoy the incredible views and experiences Iceland has to offer! Plus, the bonus stops to let us see Iceland through his eyes were so special. Some of non-touristy stops made for the best memories honestly! We both learned so much about the culture, the history, the landscape and so much more from John duing our trip than I would have ever though possible. John being a geographer made the journey extra cool because he was able to explain and answer a lot of how and the why the landscapes came to look the way they did. John's passion for Iceland, his love for animals (I swear, they all come running up to him and greet him when we stop), geography and his desire to share his knowledge and teach makes him so wonderful as a tour guide and a person. And, he skips and dances and brings happiness whever he goes! You cant help but smile when in his presence! 10/10...would definitely book with John again!

    8-Day Summer Ring Route of Iceland with Snaefellsnes Peninsula: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does 8-Day Summer Ring Route of Iceland with Snaefellsnes Peninsula cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3247 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 8-Day Summer Ring Route of Iceland with Snaefellsnes Peninsula take?

    +

    Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is 8-Day Summer Ring Route of Iceland with Snaefellsnes Peninsula worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 211 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 8-Day Summer Ring Route of Iceland with Snaefellsnes Peninsula?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 8-Day Summer Ring Route of Iceland with Snaefellsnes Peninsula suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 8-Day Summer Ring Route of Iceland with Snaefellsnes Peninsula?

    +

    Around 74 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 8-Day Summer Ring Route of Iceland with Snaefellsnes Peninsula start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
