Wow, what can I say, it was brilliant!!! My first group holiday and I definately chose well. Glacier trekking was awesome, we were lucky to have fantastic weather on this day, we also saw the iceberg lagoon and yes, later that evening we saw the Northern Lights too. While in the East we stayed on a farm which was located in front of mountains and just in front of the ocean, a beautiful setting! Petur the guide was great, incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland - past and present, we had all sorts of stories from him about the Vikings, he was a good laugh, oh and he has a very large box full of nibbles on the mini bus, this went down very well! :) . Caving was great too, but I was very nervous as I'm not good with small spaces, you didnt have to do the caving, but Petur reassured me and looked after me the whole time, definately worth doing! All together an excellent holiday, there's some travelling but lots of stops to see waterfalls and sites, oh and the food was good too, especially the trout at the farm, yummy. The whole experience was that good that I'm planning my next holiday with Exodus already.
Whistle stop tour of Southern Iceland Great first experience of a group holiday. Couldn't have asked for a more friendly bunch of people to spend 5 days with. Well organised and we couldn't possibly have fitted anything else in. There wasn't even time to look in the visitor shop sometimes - but I coped!
This was a four night tour that really packed a punch.
As well as the chance of seeing the Northern Lights we saw glaciers, ice caves, geysers, lagoons, waterfalls, the black beach etc, etc
