Private Jökulsárlón Gletscherlagune 2 Tagestour & Gletscherwanderung

I travelled to Iceland solo for my 50th and asked Hidden Iceland to help me shape the trip. They absolutely delivered. Anna handled my booking with the patience of a saint. I think I revised the itinerary about twelve times, a smattering of different ideas, tweaks, “what if we just” moments and every single change was met with calm, thoughtful guidance. Nothing felt like a hassle. It felt collaborative. Teitur my guide, was an absolute gem. Deeply knowledgeable and endlessly accommodating, including when the wind nearly froze my fingers off! He has that rare ability to make even the most dramatic landscapes feel personal. Not performative. Just real. That, and finding new nooks and crannies in the glacier that literally no one will see tomorrow! Part of this trip was a reset for me. Getting back to nature, standing in landscapes that remind you how small and lucky you are, and reconnecting with why I work in sustainability in the first place. Iceland does that to you. The rawness, the geology, the scale, it recalibrates something fundamental. And the food. How is Icelandic cuisine not globally famous? Creative, delicious, unexpected. Every meal was exceptional. If you want Iceland done intelligently, personally, and without any tourist fluff, Hidden Iceland is the way to do it. Thank you to Anna, Teitur, the amazing driver and the whole team. You made a milestone birthday feel expansive, grounded and unforgettable. (and yep - the Northern Lights - twice!)

The zodiac boat through glacier bay was awesome. Some ice calving witnessed. Highly recommend this activity followed by a trip to Diamond Beach.

We were a group of 12 family members and friends who wanted to explore the south coast highlights of Iceland before boarding a cruise to Southampton. I Read some great reviews about Hidden Iceland. Aaron replied my email promptly. He listened to what our needs were. He was able to accommodate us and make slight changes to the itinerary and hotel stays to make it practical for us. We did the Golden Circle tour with the farmhouse tour on day 1 and the above mentioned tour on day 2 and 3. The zodiac boat tour that he recommended was the highlight of our tour. Aaron is patient , courteous and professional and our trip wouldn’t have been so memorable without his advice. Thank you Aaron. And I must say that if Aaron was not available, his team members promptly replied to the emails and answered our questions- so thank you to the full team. We stayed at Reykjavik residence apartment hotel and it was a perfect family style accomodation for us. The vehicle that came to pickup was roomy , clean, modern with charging points, and that made our long drives really comfortable. Our tour guide/driver was Prokop. He was very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. We stayed at hotel VOS and Lilja guesthouse and both were comfortable. The weather turned out to be perfect and we got lucky enough to see the northern lights also. The 3 day tour that we did with them was the highlight of our 16 day trip and the most memorable nature experiences of our lives. Thank you to the Hodden Iceland team For making it possible for us.

Our family of four (54, 52, 25, 23) started our Iceland vacation with the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon 2-day tour with our guide Levi. The tour van was the nicest van we had in Iceland. The seats were very comfortable, each seat had a USB charging port, and there was strong Wifi. Levi was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about Iceland along the way including former earthquakes, floods, glaciers, volcanoes, and much more. The weather for our 2nd day wasn't looking good so Levi quickly pivoted to pack in as much as possible in day 1. I love using local guides because they are a wealth of information, know the best places to stop for bathroom breaks, and pick the best places to eat too. Hidden Iceland arranged our overnight at Lilja Guesthouse which was quite nice. It was simple but the beds were very comfortable, pretty setting, and great restaurant. We had a fabulous dinner and great breakfast the following morning as well. We had an amazing time.

Amazing experience! 11/10 recommend. It’s very productive and you get the most bang for your buck. The guesthouse is very nice and we were lucky to see a bit of the northern lights. The glacier hike was amazing! So many great photos and memories made. Our guide has such good humour and informed us about the sights in a way that was rasy to remember and digest. :)

I had an absolutely incredibly wonderful time on this tour. Our guide, Thor, was knowledgeable, friendly, and proactive about anticipating our needs and interests. He went out of his way to personalize the tour for us, looking out for opportunities to take a closer look at the unique animals and plants of Iceland. We had such a great time learning about Iceland through him and enjoying the legends and stories that he shared. On the tour, it felt like every turn of the head and bend of the road led us to yet another unique marvel of nature found in Iceland...waterfalls, moss-covered lava fields, mountains, cliffs, glaciers, volcanoes, beaches, and icebergs...on and on for amazing sites and experiences. Hiking on the glacier was so impressive and we throughly enjoyed the guiding skills of Holly on the glacier. Seeing the shimmering Diamond Beach was definitely another highlight. Plus, a crashing waterfall reached through a cave...the entire trip was amazing, the guide terrific, the hotel accommodation immaculate. I highly recommend this tour and I'm looking at when I can visit Iceland again and take another tour with Hidden Iceland!

What an amazing trip! The tour was well planned out with stops along the way, the destinations were all stunning, Kristjon, our guide, was fantastic. We were delayed due to glacial flooding but were so well taken care of, thoughtfully communicated with our options and everyone remained so positive throughout.

Two days felt like a lifetime. We hiked, explored, photographed, glacier walked, and soaked in the south coast. Our guide, Emilia masterfully hosted our group up waterfalls, canyons, beaches and knew the perfect places four our groups diverse needs. The experience of hiking on the glacier took this tour to an epic level. Emilia worked so hard to ensure the magical moments happen for all in the group she also entertained, empowered, and ensured that the tour rocked and let my inner child out to play . Icelands natural gifts would make this tour amazing on its out but touring with Hidden Iceland elevated the time to an epic level and cleansed my soul. Grateful!

Incredible experience with Matej, who is our knowledgeable, friendly and patient driver-guide. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the itinerary was well-organized. Highly recommended!

Matej was a phenomenal tour guide and provided a fun and informative experience for the whole group. I highly recommend using Hidden Iceland for your upcoming trip!
