A great day out - I'd been to the other-wordly highlands a few times, hoping I'd get something special again. The laki craters didn't disappoint. Different than other parts of the highlands. We didn't have the best weather, but that didn't spoil it at all. 2 different stops at the craters and a fantastic waterfall, plus stories by our tour guide: loved it all. The final stop was at the increasingly crowded Fjadrargljufur canyon (thanks Justin Bieber). A let down after being nearly alone in the highlands, but I'd been to the canyon 3 times before so I'm sure it was impressive for the others. Mildly rough road but nothing too bad. Great tour guide. Bring your own lunch.

Perfect day! - It was simply the perfect day. Our tour guide / driver was really nice, explained a lot and answered all our questions. The spots we visited were breathtaking and we were really lucky to be there almost on our own. Also the hiking / driving relation was perfect!

Super tour with lots of fun - Our 8-hour tour today was worth every Icelandic krona, despite the bad weather. Our tour guide David told us lots of interesting things about this area, where he also lives. He was also very friendly and funny and had some fun stories to tell. One of the best guided tours we have ever experienced. Super Jeep (specially modified in Iceland) Laki-Krater Tour in Vatnajokull National Park from Kirkjubæjarklaustur with Secret Island Tours to the craters of Lakagigar and Tjarnargigur, the waterfall Fagrifoss, and the Fjarárgljúfur canyon.

Worth it - The tour was really cool and the guides tell a lot about the country and know a lot of funny stories that happened there. The view is great in good weather. We unfortunately had rain, but it was still worth it !

Are you in for some thrill? - I highly recommend this tour; I had such an amazing time. Our guide, Davíð, was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the history of the area. He also shared some funny stories with us. The landscape and views are out of this world, and since we were driving a super jeep, it was accessible despite the many river crossings that a normal car couldn't handle. Once you reach certain points, you can do some small hikes that are truly stunning. I definitely recommend going for it and enjoying every minute.

A beautiful day! - What a history Lakagigar volcano has. The guide could tell a lot about the area and drove the super jeep smoothly on the F road and through the rivers. This was also the reason why we had chosen for this, as the road there was very bad and quite deep rivers had to be crossed. One river could even be 1 metre high. The places we stopped at were amazing! I can therefore recommend this day tour to everyone!

Great day trip - absolutely recommended! - You are driven by jeep to unique starting points, from where you can make great hikes (you can, don't have to) and later you are picked up again and driven to the next highlight. We found the combined driving/running throughout the day great and came to places where you can not otherwise get with the normal rental car. We can recommend the tour without reservation!!

Top tour in Iceland - We spent 12 days driving the ring road. I would rate this guided tour as one of the highlights and strongly recommend it! In addition to beautiful scenery, it is interesting to actually see the craters in a linear chain, to see how vegetation took over the lava rocks.
