Wow-an amazing experience! Solvi was an excellent host and guide. Always giving us native insights about the people and culture added immensely to my appreciation for the journey. The natural beauty of Iceland ranks up at the top of places I've been fortunate to visit including Patagonia (Condor trip), Alaska, Hawaii and more. One thing that could have been better--it would be nice to have had a better description of the accommodations at the huts and what to expect. For example, I think several of us were a bit surprised to be sharing a single room with all 17 guests and limited showers and restrooms. Also, letting folks know that their full baggage was available each night at the huts was great but not knowing that ahead of time, I thought we'd be lugging more on our backs during the treks through the fjords. No real complaints here!! Thora joined us as a second guide during the last few days as well and was quite delightful--really enjoyed her view on things as well.
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’ve been in Iceland for 4 days; 3 of them I booked 3 tours with this local travel expert. The best tours i’ve ever done in my life. I’ve done Glacier lagoon and diamond beach with Chiara; golden circle and blue lagoon with Omar and Fragadalsfjal erupting vulcano afternoon and evening with Omar. They have been the funniest and the most prepared guides I’ve ever had! I absolutely advise to everyone to book tours with them as you will see amazing naturally things and you will get a lot of fun as well. Thanks to everyone in the company that contribute of it! Best tour ever!!:):)
