An independent tour with Magic Iceland, arranged through Guide to Iceland, from a cruise ship. Jessica was our guide for the day, along with a very careful, smooth driver. She gave us the right amount of information, not talking continuously, and with breaks to appreciate the scenery. Good mix of lightheartedness with salient points about each area. I appreciated being able to see and touch Reindeer. We were given bread to feed them, saw a baby being bottle fed, temporarily (as the mother had mastitis), and hear how the family began their Reindeer sanctuary. The Puffins were plentiful and so unfazed by the visitors. There are steps to climb for viewing, for anyone with limited mobility. The waterfall was near the road and an easy walk on a paved path. The views were stunning from the comfortable coach. The rain wasn't too heavy and dried up when we were off the coach, mostly, but it was cold at the coast, so layer up. There was a time change of the itinerary which was confusing. I only received notification when I got off the cruise ship. Not everyone has Wi-Fi, phone data, nor a phone! The bus waited for us and all was well.
