Itinerary
Reykjavik, the capital of the northernmost country in the world, is a fascinating destination. A 24-hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour and an admission pass to the Wonders of Iceland at the well-known Perlan experience centre in the city will help you make the most of your visit.
Reykjavik is a city full of natural and architectural marvels. Why not begin your journey at the magnificent, multi-award winning Harpa Concert Hall, which overlooks the bay? Then board the bus and travel till you arrive at Whales of Iceland, where you may obtain all the information you require regarding those massive marine mammals.
Get off at Laugavegur, the hippest and most populated street in the city, for a new perspective on the city. You can get off in Laugardalur Valley, where you can unwind in the largest outdoor thermal pool in the city—open all year round—if you'd want to take a break from sightseeing. You can see everything in Reykjavik, including all of this, by taking our sightseeing open bus.
Reboard the bus and travel to Perlan, where you can attend the Wonders of Iceland exhibition with your admission ticket. Discover all there is to know about Iceland's natural wonders, a country of volcanoes and glaciers situated at the meeting point of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, at Wonders of Iceland. Here, you can feel the incredible power of a volcanic explosion, explore the magnificent species hiding in the depths on a cinematic underwater voyage, and experience what it's like to be inside an ice cave at -10ºC. Plus, take in a 360-degree panorama of Iceland's untamed beauty by visiting the Perlan viewing platform.

For groups of 8 or more, please submit a group inquiry at booking@activity-crest.com. While discounted rates are not available for all tours, selected tours may qualify for special group pricing. Standard tours & activities are eligible for group discounts; however, attractions, passes, combo tickets, and related products are excluded.
Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours:
Due to the operational nature of hop-on hop-off bus tours and fluctuating daily demand, we cannot guarantee that all members of a group will be accommodated on the same bus at the same time. Seat availability varies by stop and service demand, and groups may be required to split across multiple buses and/or wait for subsequent departures.
All group members must redeem their vouchers together initially. Once redeemed, individual tickets will be issued, allowing travellers the flexibility to explore independently thereafter. The requirement to remain together applies only during the voucher redemption process when tickets are booked under a single reservation.
As we are unable to guarantee that larger groups can travel together as one unit, bookings will be divided into smaller groups of approximately 5-7 passengers per ticket allocation, depending on the overall group size.
