    Omar was an incredible guide ! Super knowledgeable , funny and just a joy and pleasure to spend the day with! After a disappointing northern lights tour with someone one else the evening before , Omar even took the time to make lots of recommendations for places to go that evening snd other useful tips. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an incredible day! 10/10 recommend this tour!

    Absolutely loved this!! It was a good trip, but be sure to pack appropriate footwear. The climb is steep in parts and not suited to those with impairments. Walking on the cooking magma was incredible. Our guide Omar was incredible, very insightful and funny, and offered to take our photo which was greatly appreciated. The Blue Lagoon was also really nice, bit odd as you stand in warm, blue water. Good value for money as it provided towels at the blue lagoon and a drink.

    We had a great time on this trip and we were pleased we booked it. Unfortunately we couldn't complete the full volcano walk due to the weather (severe winds) but the guide was great and made arrangements for the group to visit other local sites instead. It was great to combine the trip with the blue lagoon visit too.
