Fantastic holiday in Iceland

We stayed at the Hotel Centrum in Reykjavik for 7 nights and the hotel was in a great location and highly recommended. We had prebooked excursions every day with pickup and drop off and the whole trip worked out perfectly. Really great value for money.

Perfect way to explore as a group of 4!

The itinerary was great, and got us seeing lots of Iceland with no worries! Everything was arranged well, save for a couple of the hotels not getting the "one twin room" memo, but they were all able to swap on the spot. Car rental, hotel bookings all good. We had a great time, and had no need to reach out to Vulkan travel the whole time we were there. They were extremely helpful when Iceland Air cancelled our original return flight and auto re-booked us on an earlier one. I reached out to Vulkan, and they rearranged a flight the next day and additional hotel bookings. Very smooth. Their staff are also very communicative and friendly. Thanks for a great holiday Vulkan!

Iceland weekend

Brilliant trip, saw lots of beautiful sights and was even lucky enough to see the northern lights on an added evening excursion. The guides were great, very informative, we learnt alot about the country as well. Very well organised. Unfortunately when we went the Blue Lagoon was closed due to the local eruptions but we went to the Sky Lagoon instead and it was lovely.

A fun-packed few days

The busy three day itinerary included visits to waterfalls, geysers, the northern lights, a stunning glacier and the Blue Lagoon. The hotels were very comfortable and of a high standard. Hotel Selfoss offered an attractive spa facility which we managed to use for about half an hour - downtime was minimal which suited us fine! Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided a fantastic commentary for the majority of the driving time. This trip enabled us to see Iceland's highlights and to make some special memories with a lovely group of people.

Iceland Full Circle - February 2023

Our visit to Iceland was amazing from start to finish. From picking up our vehicle at the airport to checking out of our final hotel everyone we dealt with was so helpful and kind and made it a pleasure. The scenery in Iceland is awesome and even the constant extreme changes in weather just made it better. Getting to see the Northern Lights while staying at Myvatn was the icing on the cake. I can honestly say that our trip exceeded our expectations and we are already thinking off returning, although in the summer months so we can see it again from a whole new perspective.

Amazing trip to Iceland

Just come back from my 7days-trip to Iceland organized by Vulkan and I couldn't ask for more! Everything has been planned amazingly and communication with the agency has been quick and efficient. The daily trips were absolutely fantastic! Defo I would use and recommend this agency again!

Winter wonderland

Our first visit to Iceland did not disappoint. Snow covered in winter added hugely to the trip as we never ceased to be amazed by the majesty if the scenery. A DIY trip around the Golden Circle was straightforward in our 4 wheel drive rental car. This is a must short break for anyone with a sense of adventure and a love of nature.

Icelandic adventure

We have just returned from 10 Nights in this amazing country- would highly recommend. Only a couple of the accommodations didn’t quite live up to our expectations sadly, but that aside wonderful experience.

Iceland was incredible

Myself and my son had an amazing time, we were lucky enough to see the lights, all the experiences were brilliant, the pick up and drop offs were easy, accommodation was perfect and very central allowing us to easily walk to the places we wanted to see in Reykjavik, would love to come back and have already recommended Iceland and this company to friends and family.

Reykjavik

We had a fantastic week. Flights were great, even had films which is a bonus for short haul. Hotel lovely and clean, food amazing. The trips we booked were amazing and had plenty of time to see everything, inrushes which is always a good thing. This place has so many fabulous things to see and they do take your breath away. The only negative is , it is very expensive, but if you are prepared, it’s not such a shock. I would definitely recommend going. It’s one ticked off our bucket list, but will definitely return.

EXPERIENCES IN TOP CLASS

Traveling around Iceland with a rental car became a memory for life. No hassle anywhere, neatly that everything was booked and prepaid. The itinerary with suggestions for attractions was very good to have in the car. We had prepared the favorite list in Waze and had a mobile holder with a suction cup, so navigation was easy, just to push the next favorite when we had visited a place. It would have been a lot of work (too much) to plan and book this trip on your own, great to get everything served. We also appreciated the communication with and the information from Vulkanresor, despite an ongoing pandemic, we felt confident that everything would work once we got going.

WHAT A COUNTRY!

We are soooo happy with just about everything! Iceland is in the top 5 of our coolest destinations. Absolutely the best was the super jeep trip to western Iceland (the planned route did not work due to closed roads), where we had a fantastic guide who took us up on a glacier - unforgettable! Everything else was also 10 points - the Blue Lagoon, geysers, waterfalls, the food (!!!), Reykjavik as a city, the people, the hotel, yes, EVERYTHING!

Blue Lagoon, Iceland.

SPA WEEKEND

This was the best spa package we have experienced. Skilled masseurs and the spa facility was smashing we will be back. Blue Lagoon is a great place. The staff took care of us in the best possible way. We were snowed in there for about 3 hours but only felt like an hour. They did that bit extra, offered ice cream and updated us on the situation. Then they made sure that everyone got off to their destinations, whether you got on your bus or their buses. Very good.

TRAVEL TO ICELAND!

Would recommend a trip to Iceland to anyone who wants an extraordinary experience. The coolest part of the trip was the Blue lagoon (evening) and a ride on Icelandic horses. Could not have wished for more of this trip. The food was also good, with cozy cafes and restaurants.

MEMORY FOR LIFE!

Thank you for a fantastic trip! We are more than happy and will remember this journey for life. Everything with flights, rental car, and hotels went as smoothly as possible. Being able to stay both in the countryside and in Reykjavik was fantastic. We got to experience Iceland in its most beautiful radiance and we fell in love with this island. Thank you!

EXCITING JOURNEY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Iceland is magical, wild and beautiful! We have seen and experienced so much. Waterfalls, boiling water holes, geysers, riding Icelandic horses, swimming in the Blue Lagoon and experiencing dolphins and humpback whales up close. We are glad we booked 5 nights, fewer had been too little.

VERY WELL PLANNED

I think the trip provides fantastic nature experiences. It would have been difficult to know for yourself exactly what you wanted to do. Thanks to Vulkan Travel´s planning, we have seen so much in a short time. We would really recommend traveling with Vulkanresor.

VERY GOOD TRAVEL ARRANGEMENT

A perfect way to experience the different parts of the country and at the same time to meet ordinary and always friendly and caring Icelanders. The Icelandic guesthouse culture was particularly interesting to get in touch with.

TRAVEL TO FAIRY TALE ISLAND

An incredibly beautiful and exciting island. Fantastic views with beautiful waterfalls, smoking mountains etc. Lots of sheep and horses. Nice accommodation along the itinerary and great food. Starts and ends in Reykjavik, a nice city with nice inhabitants. A great trip that is highly recommended!

AROUND THE COUNTRY

We had ten nice days in June / July 2019 with lots of nature experiences in all types of weather. The travel and directions were detailed and easy to follow, and there was time left over every day for your own activities or detours. With a few exceptions, we stayed very well and everything worked fine in the hotels/accommodations. Before the trip, we received documents that well described what awaited both the itinerary and our accommodation. Remember to bring clothes for all kinds of weather, which just like many describe, can change very quickly. We experienced snowstorms, strong winds, and quiet moments in the sun. Can highly recommend this trip!

A fun and good travel package with many nice and interesting places and experiences that you will never forget. Good guided tours and reasonably long stops. Would love to come back and see more places. The Icelanders are nice people who are very helpful to lost tourists.

BUCKETLIST-CHECK !!

We finally set off on my husband's dream trip to celebrate his 40th birthday. Through Vulkanresor I was able to book EVERYTHING flights, transfers, excursions, hotels. So comfortable and so amazingly good it turned out !! I who otherwise have control needs and want to book everything myself could calmly sit back and leave the job to the professionals, and what a dream trip we had!

A MEMORY FOR LIFE

We are very happy with everything from well-organized excursions with nice buses to fantastic guidance and precision in terms of pick-up times for all activities. When we were 10 in the ages 6 to 72, it was nice to get help from the hotel in terms of pick-up information and other info that was very helpful for us to have a good stay. The fantastic nature came into its own when everything was so well organized. We created a memory for life.

ADVENTURE IN ICELAND!

It has been our dream destination for so long and finally, it was time to make the dream come true. When we saw an ad from Vulkanresor we called and talked to a very knowledgeable person so we decided to book. Our days in Iceland were just as exciting, adventurous, and varied as we had hoped for. There were many magical and fabulous experiences in a very different country, where the forces of nature were always extremely tangible. We are grateful for all the tips and ideas we received from Vulkanresor, which also helped us save time that we could use for more important things! It was extremely nice to have pre-booked accommodation so that after the well-filled days you could just drive straight and throw yourself into a comfortable bed ...
