Iceland: See & Experience it ALL in 9 Days, 1st Class Custom Tours
Go with Salty Tours in Iceland
This is the second time we have utilized the services of Salty Tours. Thor, our guide, knows and loves Iceland. The two days we spent with him were well-paced and full of amazing sights and narratives. He was considerate of my needs and those of my 12-yr-old granddaughter. 5 stars!

Whale Watching from Akureyri Port
Wonderful whale watching experience!
This whale-watching experience was the family favorite during our 10-day northern lights cruise. Being on the boat in the middle of an Icelandic fjord was amazing by itself, but we had multiple whale sightings that were so much fun! The hot chocolate and cookies were such a welcome treat, too! The staff took great care of us, and we definitely recommend this wonderful experience!

6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik
Excellent “Highlights” Tour of Iceland.
There was plenty to see. Our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of information about not only Iceland but geology, history, building and much much more. If you do this tour cannot recommend Sindrai highly enough.
