What people say

Raven Patzke

"You can choose from plenty of options to add on in your Golden Circle Day Trip, but my all-time favorite was riding the Icelandic Horses. If you’re not familiar with an Icelandic horse, imagine a pony and you’ll get the picture. These horses are much smaller than what most are used to. They’re also extremely exclusive in Iceland. Once a horse leaves the country, it is never allowed to come back. This is mostly due to the various diseases that could wipe out the entire population. Note: I was the ONLY person on this tour because no one else had booked. I had a free private ride with the guide! Though this isn’t always the case, the tours are much less crowded in the winter than the summer. All gear is provided. And yes, the sun rises around 10:30-11AM in the winter."

7 Days In Iceland Without A Car: Winter Edition

Over the past few years, Iceland has been getting more and more popular by tourists. Nicknamed the Land of Fire and Ice because of its many volcanoes and glaciers, there are endless opportunities of gorgeous natural wonders to explore. Over 60% of the people that live in Iceland, live in the capital city of Reykjavik. If you are not renting a car to avoid the intimidation of the slippery roads during winter, all of the activities below can be done right in Reykjavik or by a tour with transfer. I’ve gone ahead and provided all the links you need for each tour that I have personally done myself just this year (2022). Have a wonderful time exploring Iceland. 🇮🇸
