For a short exposure to the spectacular volcanic and glacial scenery of Iceland, and the opportunity dependent on conditions to see the Northern Lights, this Exodus trip takes some beating. As always, weather conditions will influence the experience, but sharing with a small but similarly interested group and a quality guide serve to enhance the enjoyment factor.
I loved the whole trip. Being able to see a lot of the beautiful scenery in a warm bus was great.! The hikes were awesome. The glacier hike was thrilling. Waterfalls were gorgeous. Seeing the northern lights was outstanding! People in the group were awesome. The glacier lagoon with all the ice formations was spectacular! The pace was perfect. Gisli gave us so much history and info about the different areas. Great trip!
When asked what my favourite part of the trip was this was my response soon after I returned ...."Mine...the spontaneous stop off to chill by the glacial pool in falling light - to capture the sunset en route to the hostel ...we saw the Northern lights - so chuffed - Vik, Whow! - homemade tomato soup on the spot where they were grown - all the food. Oh and I missed the pictures of Gulfoss in the books, so imagine my face when I walked to the edge of the path!! Snow, muted crashing rollers on a lava beach, ice, sun -such feast for the senses...then lastly the feel of the lava between the toes in the blue lagoon. Still pinching myself.
