Fantastic company to work with to bring the best trip for your group and family. - Reykjavik Erupts and Dofri were amazing for our recent family vacation to Iceland. Our trip to the Snaefellness Peninsula was great in a 10 person Mercedes Van that was incredibly nice. We got to see all of the sights on an amazingly beautiful day. Dofri took is off the beaten path to see his favorite parts of the traditional route and shared with us his personal stories growing up in Iceland. We started the day by feeding his beautiful Icelandic horses which was a highlight for my 5 and 3 year olds. Dofri was fantastic with my kids even looking after them as my wife and I wanted to go on a more challenging hike.
Dofri is great to work with customizing the trip to be perfect for you family. Do not hesitate to reach out to him to make the best trip possible for your group. He knows Iceland better than anyone I've ever met and wants to give you a truly unique experience that will last with you a lifetime, and even better, change your life. I consider Dofri part of my family now from our 3 days with him and am looking forward to coming back to Iceland again!

Reykjavik Erupts is a wonderful tour company in Iceland! Snaefellsnes is hard to pronounce but amazing :) - Incredible! The trip to Snaefellsness organized through Reykjavik Erupts was flawless. Dofri, the owner of the company and our guide, was kind, knowledgeable, funny and very organized / flexible with the trip! The Snaefellsness peninsula includes some of the most breathaking and beautiful sights in all of Iceland. Our group visited Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Kirkjufell Mountain, Djúpalónssandur Black Sand
Beach with very fun lifting stones, Vatnshellir Lava Tunnel Cave and the Arnarstapi village which had incredile hexagonal basalt columns and coastal scenery, we even saw a whale! I've also done this tour in the summer and with more light we also visited a few other cool waterfalls and had a blast. Choose Reykjavik Erupts as your tour company and you will have the experience of a lifetime, thanks Dofri!

Awesome tour of Snaefellsness! - Amazing tour! We got an amazing, personalized experience with Dagur, who helped create a memory that’ll last forever! The beautiful sights were supplemented with great fun facts, and leisure to go at our own pace. Could not recommend this tour enough!

Unforgettable experience, amazing tour! - I can't recommend Dofri and Dagur enough! It was a wonderful experience being immersed in Icelandic nature, history, and folklore, and our guides were very knowledgeable and great to listen and talk to. One of my all-time favorite trips.

Reykjavik Erupts is the Best! - I used Reykjavik Erupts while studying abroad in Iceland this semester, and I am so happy they were our tour guides. Our drivers, Dagur and Dofri, were entertaining and insightful throughout the journey. They had amazing stories and took us to many unique places not frequented by other tourists. I would recommend using this company to anyone looking to experience Iceland like never before. Thank you for making my experience in Iceland so wonderful!

Explore Snaefellsnes with Reykjavik Erupts and Create a Personal Saga - Reykjavik Erupts is, without a doubt, the best tour company I’ve ever hired. Dofri is an incredible guide—I booked him for my second trip to Iceland, even though I felt confident driving and exploring on my own. From past experience, I knew that no one brings Icelandic history and the Sagas to life quite like he does. Dofri crafts his tours with a unique blend of Icelandic history, the Sagas, culture, and science. He’s truly a modern-day skald (Viking storyteller).
We started the day with a pickup at my hotel in downtown Reykjavik, and his gentle sheepdogs, Hneta and Kvika, came along for the adventure. Before we set off, Dofri had already checked the weather and planned the day to make the most of the best conditions. While this was my tour, he tailors the experience to fit your needs and preferences.
Our first stop was the Gerduberg Cliffs. Sensing my nervousness, Dofri was extremely helpful, guiding me up and ensuring I felt more confident. Even Hneta seemed to sense something was off and stayed close to me, letting me pet her as if to comfort me—such a sweetheart. If it wasn't for Dofri and his dogs, I never would have had such a wonderful experience.
Next, we headed to Ytri Tunga Beach, where we saw seals on one of the most unique beaches in Iceland. Dofri thoughtfully brought binoculars so I could get a closer look. Afterward, he took me to a secret lookout spot with panoramic views of what felt like the whole of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
We visited the iconic black church of Búðir before heading to some breathtaking cliffs, where I could have stared out at the ocean for hours. I was so mesmerized by the beauty of the place that I forgot to note its name. From there, we made our way to the most photographed mountain in Iceland, Kirkjufell. Kvika even posed for pictures for me (and the other tourists there).
A particularly meaningful stop for me was a sailor's memorial off the beaten path. It was a somber reminder of the sacrifices made by Icelandic fishermen. As someone with a nautical family background on my mother’s side—fishermen and merchant marines, from my grandfather to my uncle and cousins—I appreciated this tribute.
We also visited Bjarnarhöfn (the shark museum), where I learned about the Greenland shark and its cultural significance. I even tried fermented shark again, which I already knew I liked from a previous experience. But I never knew how it was made and I learned that while visiting and even got to check out the drying house.
Throughout the day, in addition to sharing stories and the Sagas, Dofri actively encouraged my attempts to learn Icelandic. I’m not a natural polyglot, but I’m passionate about learning Icelandic because I find it such a beautiful language, and I plan to make more trips to Iceland. His help and encouragement meant the world to me.
This tour was truly an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend Reykjavik Erupts for anyone who wants to not just see Iceland, but become part of their own, personal saga!

Truly remarkable private tour - Just returned from a truly memorable and magical trip planned by Dofri and Dagur. There were 8 of us and we all can't say enough about Dagur's great demeanor, knowledge and patience and without his guidance we wouldn't have had the same experience. We did the golden circle, south coast and upper penninsula - all of them breathtaking! We will be back
