We had 2 families do this activity together and it was a FAVORITE amongst us all. Anthony, our guide, was excellent. He was so personable and taught us a lot about the beautiful landscape of Iceland and he was really good with the kids too. The beautiful sites we saw, the thrilling rides on the Black Sand Beach, driving through little streams and into a beautiful valley, along with Anthony’s warm nature, made this a favorite activity on our trip to Iceland.

This is such an exciting experience. Our guide, Anthony, was so personable and gave us a lot of attention, explaining how life is for him over in Iceland. He also talked about the history and geography in the area. It was so much fun and I’m so glad that my family did this together!
