Doing a small group tour... - Doing a small group tour allows for the small bus to get to the east side of the canyon. This is a better view. About a 30 minute walk, on gravel path. Finished the day at Vok Bath, including a dip into the lake. Tour Guide was lovely and spoke about her experiences growing up in the area.

Excellent tour. This tour... - Excellent tour. This tour allows you access into the canyon with superior views. Vok baths are very relaxing and feel more natural and less touristy than Blue Lagoon. Our driver and guide Tina was informative, professional, funny and made our tour exceptional.

Exceeded our expectation's - What an amazing excursion. The van was clean and comfortable. The guide was amazing. Son of the owners and so very knowledgable. It is a small group so we were able to have great conversations and learn so much. He went with us on the hike down to the canyon. Took us to the best spots for photographs and assisted those who wanted to go all the way to the bottom. Vok baths were great. Some of us even jumped into the lake.

- This tour into Studlagil Canyon was great and magical. Our guide Tinna from Tanni Travel has incredible knowledge, is an exciting conversation partner and an excellent driver on the bumpy gravel roads in the area. On the way out ES stopped at Rjukanda Waterfall and on the way back we visited the Vök SPA with different warm pools located directly on a picturesque lake near Egilstadir. This was very relaxing, although the facility was at times well filled by very many cruise tourists.

Amazing day exploring Studlagil Canton and relaxing at Vok Baths - A wonderful day exploring the magnificent Studlagil Canyon and relaxing in the Vok Baths afterwards. Our guide Sich was incredible and made the experience that much more fun. The canyon itself was incredible and the views didn’t disappoint. The baths were the perfect way to wrap up the day. Our favorite guided tour in Iceland to date.

A full day excursion not to be missed. - A perfect day out and our guide was top notch. We loved both experiences and the opportunity to see the town from the high viewing point before heading back to our ship. The Vok baths were a tremendous experience and we did the jump into the very cold lake after the hottest pool. Getting back into the hot pool after that was the most wonderful tingling feeling.

Not recommended - We expected small tour bus but they combined 2 tours into one and used large bus, not what we wanted. This trip had a lot more walking on uneven surface to go to canyon. Its closer to 40 minute walk there then back. The bath was ok. Trip was way overpriced
