Iceland Self-guided Tour Reviews
Marvellous time
5 - Excellent

First of all, thank you so much for offering us the upgrade to include the Secret Lagoon. We had a marvellous time. The Lagoon was amazing and we were thrilled to swim there. It was a fabulous day but we would like to make a special mention of our guide. He was very kind, informative and amusing. He turned an excellent itinerary into a memorable day! His depth of knowledge made the whole day really meaningful, although we did not feel as if we had been on a study tour! It was fun. Please pass on our thanks to him.
GREENLAND'S NORTHERN LIGHTS
5 - Excellent
- Anonymous
Probably the very best way in a short time to see and understand eastern Greenland, its awesome scenery and a remoteness unfamiliar to the vast majority of us. Titling it 'Northern Lights' though was perhaps risky and could be misleading; we did see them but only just and was certainly not the highlight for me.

The Stelkur trip around Iceland gave hearty servings of the history, culture, geology and ethos of this remarkable island. Sure, we all knew the island had volcanoes and glaciers, but I for one was not aware of the tremendous impact of glacial flooding on the island and its people. This trip hit so many high points that it was almost dizzying, from puffins and whale spotting to black sand beaches littered with remnants of icebergs, to seemingly countless waterfalls and glacier views, to vigorous and rewarding hikes, superb cooking by our guide, solitude on the hut to hut portions (we saw one other hiker during 4 days), tales of Icelandic heroes, trolls and elves. Our guide, Solvi, was a natural teacher, gifted storyteller and even sang us to sleep one night with an Icelandic lullaby. He surprised us often with little outings or touches that were not listed on the official itinerary and made us feel like we'd been let in on special secrets. We looked for kids rescuing young puffins who had not made it to water, tobogganed down a huge black sand dune, and snatched blueberries from the bushes that lined the trails as we hiked. There was magic in the air on this trip!
