Iceland Travel Guide

The easiest, quickest answer is that the trip was amazing. Summary: Seeing Iceland was a bucket list item that I feel fortunate to have checked off, and I consider the entire experience to have been life-affirming. My education and entire career have been in the geosciences, and for anyone interested in earth history and processes, Iceland is clearly an earth-lover's playground, where everything is a feast for the eyes, not just the "highlights" (the planned stops) but all along the drives from point to point. It is fascinating that Iceland's landmass is so young when it leaves the impression of being so ancient, so primal. Seeing Icelandic horses and sheep literally everywhere and viewing all the farms, many nestled below a waterfall, takes one back to simpler, serene times. The Icelandic people are so nice, and I am both amazed and thankful that everyone speaks fluent English. I quickly became acclimated to the colder temperatures and, in fact, found it invigorating. The early September weather was wonderful, with just moments here and there where the wind gusts were intense. I would go back to Iceland again and again if that were possible, but I do plan at least one more trip, so that my family can experience what I did.

You and your team are top notch!

The sties were awesome and our guide was terrific!

We all had an amazing time!

I must tell you that my tour with you is probably THE best tour I've ever taken (and I've taken a lot). My guide Rico set a bar so high that I don’t know if any other tour guide will ever measure up :) I can't say enough great things about him, or about the tour! I was floored by how many gorgeous sights we squeezed into two days. I hope to return someday and I'll absolutely book tours with you again.

We had an amazing stay in Iceland and definitely want to come back soon and explore some more. The itinerary was daunting but we got it all done with the exception of hiking Glymur trail. The Westfjords and the Peninsula were definite highlights but the whole trip was great start to finish.
