Middagtour Golden Circle en noorderlicht vanuit Reykjavik

Adam was precies op tijd, zeer informatief en zeer professioneel. We hadden beperkte tijd in IJsland en deze tour was een geweldige manier om zowel de Golden Circle als het noorderlicht in één tour te zien. Adam was deels geoloog en deels geograaf terwijl hij het unieke en prachtige landschap uitlegde, anders dan alles wat we ooit eerder hadden gezien. 'S Nachts was hij deels meteoroloog en deels astronoom terwijl hij technische hulpmiddelen en zijn ervaring gebruikte om de beste plekken te vinden om het noorderlicht te zien. Het was een heldere nacht maar met weinig zonneactiviteit, dus de kijkkansen leken klein. Adam slaagde er echter in om enkele plekken te vinden om uitzicht te krijgen, en hij maakte een aantal geweldige foto's voor ons. Al met al was het een geweldige dag en we raden deze tour ten zeerste aan. Als suggestie kunt u het zelfs eind maart comfortabeler vinden om een winddichte broek te dragen, omdat de wandelpaden erg koud en winderig waren, vooral later op de dag.

Our guide, Adam from Try Iceland Tours was amazing. Right away we noticed we forgot our water, he made a quick stop for us for snacks and water. Our first stop was the national park. It has gorgeous vistas, history, waterfalls, light hiking and a little climbing (take the crampons if winter). He drove us to multiple sites and would meet us at the next spot on the trail. After the National park, we travelled to see the Geysers. They went off approximately every 3 minutes. He would let us have some time at each stop and let us know where to meet and where to go to the facilities. We saw the gorgeous Gullfoss waterfall and then continued on to meet a few adorable Icelandic Horses. We then had a wonderful dinner at a wonderful spot, Mika, where we had deep fried langoustines, I had lamb, my daughter had a pizza and I think my husband had filet. We treated Adam to dinner. This place also had a chocolate factory and we were able to buy some delicious handmade chocolates. Then after dinner, we let Adam do a little research while we ate dessert on the Northern Lights because you have to find them. We went far out, near a River a little off road, about 120km outside Reykjavík. It was a big night for solar activity and we were lucky to have that show! He took out his professional camera and tripod and took amazing photos of our family. He does photography for movies, so he is really good. All in all, the experience was second to none. You will not be sorry if you book this tour. I know people do not usually tip in Europe, but we did tip Adam because this tour was really personal and it was beyond our expectations. You get a little taste of everything!
