I booked this holiday purely as I got a weeks respite for my sick husband. This was all I could find to fit with my dates. Well it was meant to be!! There were 15 of us in the group and as I was travelling alone I was a little apprehensive to say the least. The group was fabulous,the leader Ibi, was superb.she took us to all the places in the itinerary which were all super and we were so well informed.
If you've never been to Iceland, & you love the outdoors, you really must put it on your bucket list. Fantastic scenery, intriguing history and culture with weather systems that give all 4 seasons in one day. Who would believe that the sand on the beaches really is black!
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!
