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!
Winter is coming - and Iceland is the place to experience it! Fantastic country - other-worldly landscapes - this trip offers a thrilling mix of the ancient sagas which tell their own tale of the landscape, the stories of modern life under constant threat of volcanic eruption, geography and geomorphology, wildlife and food. And if you get Kristjn as your tour leader, you will be among the luckiest travellers out there - I've done 9 or so trips with this tour company and am confident he is one of the best, most knowledgeable, resourceful, responsive, hard-working and entertaining leaders out there.
Outstanding experience: a tour not to be missed! We loved the tour: it was very well organized, with a complete and exciting itinerary, that included not only the main attractions but also not touristic and really valuable activities. This wouldn’t have been possible without our tour guide Loftur: extremely knowledgeable and very fun, he was able to adapt the itinerary to any weather condition or preference and the result was simply great. He was also able to connect us with the Icelandic great culture. Highly recommended!
