We booked a trip with the tour operator, New Zealand to Iceland in July 2021. The experience was one of the best we've ever experienced. This is our second trip with this tour group and once again it delivered an experience that was tailored to each individual's abilities that were on the trip. Our experienced guides became great friends and navigating the complicated travel caused by COVID was handled efficiently and safely by those taking care of us. First-class trekking was experienced as well as some very challenging days. All in all, it was worth every dollar and Krona spent!
I really enjoyed each of the stops and felt that we got to see the majority of what the peninsula had to offer. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and I really enjoyed all of the folklore stories he told.
Going in winter one gets to see Iceland in all its Winter Wonderland glory. The frozen waterfalls, good chance of seeing the northern lights, once you're away from the golden circle sights its much quieter. We were Very lucky with the weather until last couple of days when the strong winds and closed roads altered the itinerary, but there are other things to see. The tour covers a lot of ground, with a fair bit of driving, but there are lots of stops along the way and the scenery is lovely!
