Day Tours in Iceland

There are many different setups of day tours to be made from Reykjavik. These tours are ones such as the Golden Circle, the Black Beach, the Blue Lagoon/Reykjanes tour and many others. Then again there are many day tours that should not be included in such a setup. The reason is that they take up to 14-16 hours to complete and that, in my opinion, is way to much time to spend driving from one destination to another.

Sample day tours in Iceland in that category are the Snaefellsnes Peninsula day tour and the Glacier Lagoon day tour. Both these day tours take at least 10 hours or more to complete and especially the Glacier Lagoon tour is a long one. It is understandable that people want to see interesting places like these two, but there is also a question whether it is worth the money if you "rush by" or are herded to and from the small but equally interesting places on route to the intended destination. There is therefore all reason to give these questions a thought before you decide which type of tour you want.

To clarify what I mean, let me make a small count of places to see on the way to the Glacier Lagoon. To begin with there is the row of "path guides" up on Hellisheidi, and then there are places like Urrida water fall, Seljalands water fall, Skogar water fall, Black Beach, Vikurdrangar, Kirkjubaear Closter, Laka Craters — not to mention all the glaciers along the way and many other small but interesting sites that in combination to the Glacier Lagoon make a fuller picture of the area.
