What people are saying about Hveragerdi

Amazing experience. Excellent tour guide. We were going to run into bad weather on the third day so our guide made extra stops on the second day. Felt very relaxed, had plenty of time to explore the waterfalls, the beaches and the glacier. Excellent experience

Very good guide who conveyed information in a funny way. We would recommend everyone to take the tour at 11:00 a.m. - so you can still see the national park afterwards.

It was organized well and the guides were wonderful. Loved the locations and time was sufficient at every stop. Accommodations were good.

It's best to book the tour early in the morning, there aren't that many people there yet. A really great experience.

Very informative. Excellent guide, not too many steps so kids will be fine doing this too.
