6/2025 Iceland - Flora Tours?

I will be in Iceland for just two full days (not counting fly in/out) on my way back from England. I would like to participate in a tour that includes viewing and discussions regarding Icelandic native vegetation. Is there such a tour? Also is there an Iceland botanical garden or other institutions that focus on the fauna of this island? I will have some time after I arrive and before I depart to spend in Reykjavik so if there are locations around town that I could visit I would appreciate knowing about those as well.

If there are no commercial tours that include native vegetation, I am considering the Snæfellsnes & Kirkjufell tour. Which tour company would you recommend?
Thank you!

This site has good information on the flora of Iceland. https://guidetoiceland.is/best-of-iceland/plants-in-iceland

I suggest that you post on the TripAdvisor Iceland forum. There are several Icelanders who regularly post there and may have some suggestions about native vegetation.

Tour companies recommended the most often include Troll Expeditions, Arctic Adventures, and Reykjavik Expeditions.
