We had a great day together with Nature Explorer Tours riding in their very cool Super Jeeps. We drove to the foot of the vulcano Eyjafjallajokull that erupted a few years ago distrupting the European flight traffic. What an experience you feel very small, but in safe hands of our guide Haukur who was very good at explaining Icelandic history... More

My wife and I booked a tour with this company. The process for booking was easy and they were very friendly. Our guide -- Valdimar - picked us up at our hotel. The truck was clean and very cool. Our guide was professional at all time. Equally important, was his concern for our safety at all times. He watched out... More

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
