Atla was a great tour guess. Very knowledgable and very friendly. This was a very nice piece of paradise to visit. The restaurant is a little pricey, but understandable. The food was great. A+++…Full review by Vincent T

I loved the guide Halla. She is everything I could have asked for. Her knowledge was superb as well as her mannerisms. We spoke about a variety of subjects, about the island, about puffins, about wea…Full review by Raj K

Thanks for the info. If you did it again, would you get a guided tour? Some of the other reviews rave about one guide in particular.

We did it ourselves, choosing Wednesday to take the ferry since it gave us the longest time on the island (approximately 5 hours). Other days only let you stay 1-3 hours, so check our ferry times before you go. We saw puffins everywhere and had no problem finding the Arctic Circle marker. We ate a pbj lunch that we packed so we could tell everyone we had lunch north of the Arctic Circle. :) We got a certificate in the gift shop that they signed and stamped to show we had made it. I also snapped screenshots of google maps until it showed the 66 degrees to prove I was there. It was one of the highlights of our Iceland trip!
do you know of any day trips to Grimsey from i.e. Reykjavik?? We are planning to go to Iceland on our own, book a hotel in Reykjavik and take tours out from there...any other suggestions? Or advice on how long a trip we should take to see the best attractions? and what about the Highlands? and Westman Islands?? Many thanks!!

The westman Islands are very interesting including the volcano museum and the history behind the 1973 eruption. There is more to do there than at Grimsey. Although it is a feather in any story to say you have been above the Arctic Circle. On Grimsey you can either fly in or take the ferry not sure how much those are I was on a circumnavigation cruise that stopped at various ports including Grimsey. At Grimsey you can see Puffins, the Arctic Circle pole and there is a quaint restaurant other than that nothing else on the island. There are many other very good tours out of Reykjavik that are exciting and will allow you to see the country side. The Blue Ice is great as well as the white water rafting on the white river both of those are great day trips. the Blue Ice is all day and the river rafting is about 1/2 day. hope this helps
