The land of fire and ice did not dissapoint Our Iceland winter tour was fantastic! The accommodations were simple yet comfortable, and the included meals were excellent. We explored a perfect mix of top sights and hidden gems, with a few lovely walks included. Winter roads were a bit challenging, and we did miss a few stops due to snowfall and road closures, but it made me grateful someone else was doing the driving. Our incredible tour leader shared fascinating Icelandic sagas and added personal touches for each of us. He even introduced us to a new "waterfall of the day" and tried to include little extras to make up for the missed stops, even though the weather was beyond anyone's control. We just missed the puffins by about a week, but we were lucky enough to catch a couple of great Northern Lights shows. Highly recommend this tour for an unforgettable winter adventure!
My dad and I went on the guided hike up onto Skaftafell Glacier, and it was definitely an experience to remember. We walked right up onto the top of the glacier, through crevasses and down into an ice cave. It is quite a hike but slow-paced and has plenty of brakes. Our guide was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Definitely recommended!
We chose the 5 hours tour, and it was definitely worth it as we were able to access three caves. Our guide was also incredibly prepared on a number of topics related to the glacier and the nature surrounding us: he topped off the experience. THANKS GUYS!
