On our day tours out of Reykjavik we have the smallest group size in the industry, only 5 passengers but we can also cater to groups and we offer private tours.We hope we can share your Iceland adventure.

“Unique Tours”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

We took two tours with Nature Explorer. Our guide and driver, Ingi Mar, took us on both tours. He was very knowledgeable about Iceland and a great driver. We had so much fun and saw so many beautiful sites. What a special and unique way to see Iceland. We will definitely use Nature Explorer again when we return to Iceland.

“Magnificent West tour in Spring”

Reviewed 19 April 2013

We went on the Magnificent West tour at the beginning of April, and it far exceeded all expectations. From the moment we were picked up by Isak from our hotel we felt welcome and relaxed. The superjeep was superbly capable and also comfortable. All of the places we stopped at were fantastic, and the information and knowledge on hand was... More

“Reliably good company and trip”

Reviewed 7 April 2013

I have little to add to all the excellent reviews of this company and their trips. They were very cooperative in setting up our trip as we wished. Inge, our guide, was able to change trip plans during the trip, which resulted in a much better experience for us. He was friendly, cooperative, knowledgeable, a proud Icelander, a good driver...

We differ from many other companies in the way that do everything ourselves; answer enquiries, plan the tours, book accommodation if requested and drive the tours on our own Super-Jeeps – so we are close to every aspect of the trip. Besides, we are a small company so every client is very important to us. Thank you for choosing Nature... More

“Great trip in Iceland”

Reviewed 2 April 2013

We had a great trip to Iceland. We took 2 day tours organized by Nature explorer Tours. Our guide Asi was excellent. We drove around in this huge 4-wd SUV and thoroughly enjoyed the volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls and the landscape. Asi was knowledgeable, punctual and very friendly. A pity the clouds did not allow us to see the Northern lights.... More

If we could only control the weather... and guarantee a viewing of Northern Lights :) Unfortuantely it is like with many other nature things; sightings can never be guaranteed but we try to inform our customers of the chances and only go if there are clear skies and a chance to see the auroras. We‘re glad to hear you enjoyed... More

“Brilliant”

Reviewed 17 March 2013 via mobile

We debated for weeks whether to book the tour, 3 day Southern Iceland private tour. Thank God we did, it was amazing. When you consider everything included in the tour, it is actually excellent value. Our guide Ingi was brilliant. He had the perfect balance of being attentive but discreet. The super jeep and its capabilities were astounding! Every time... More

“Incredible!”

Reviewed 10 March 2013

We booked two Nature Explorer tours to give us a taste of Iceland on our brief trip there last month. From the first communications with Hawk we were confident in our choice. He was extremely helpful and professional. Our guide, Jónsi, was fun, interesting, and engaging. The tour was obviously designed to get us maximum exposure to the major tourist... More

“An Awesome Experience”

Reviewed 2 March 2013

We would highly recommend Nature Explorer to get the real Icelandic experience. This was more than just a holiday, it was an awesome experience. The knowledge imparted from Haukur ‘Hawk’, our Guide was excellent, professional, fun and memorable. We enjoyed locations not everyone gets to see. Hawk provided a personal service creating a customised itinerary for us to cover 4... More

“Best Trip Ever”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

The 2nd time in Iceland and the day trip had to be with Nature explorer. After Hawk & the Golden Circle in 2011 there was only one choice. Both trips were unforgetable and enhanced by the drivers (Hawk & Clemance) knowledge & love for Iceland. We thought we knew best but Hawk knew better for the 2nd trip for our... More

“The Beethoven of Tours”

Reviewed 11 February 2013

Sure, you can ride around a bus and see the main sites of Iceland from a short drive from the city. You'll get a couple of nice pictures, but you'll be sitting with crowds (why come to Iceland only to fight with a bunch of other people for the same space...) and a strained neck from leaning in all day...

Thank you for your kind words. It‘s easy to do a good job when we have passionate travelers to enjoy Iceland nature with us – and one of the advantages of our Super-Jeeps is the two way conversation, so we can chat, ask questions etc rather than customers listening to a guide over a microphone or an intercom. It certainly... More
