All arrangements about transfers, accommodation and adding additional tours worked very well. I would like to mention that our tour guide, Julius Freysner or Julli, was amazing. He really enjoys his work, loves Iceland and in the days we were with him, we learnt about Iceland, the culture, life, history and culture. His passion for Iceland was evident every day. He made sure that everyone on the trip got the attention and service. In a few days we learnt to love Iceland, appreciate the small details and especially, we did not feel he was following a script to tell us things. He was speaking from his heart and he really opened to us a beautiful book on Iceland that we keep in our memory. He made a big difference in making a tour going from excellent to outstanding and unforgettable. He helped everyone by adding new tours and making recommendations on where to eat or go in the different places we visited. All accommodations were good and the meals included in the plan were fantastic. In the case of the hotel in Akureyri, it was under a big renovation and perhaps was not comparable to the other hotels we stayed in. However, it is very well located and did the work for resting and enjoying the city. The dinners that were included were of real excellent quality. I wanted to thank you again and your team for all this work in the backend to make the trip outstanding and unforgettable. It was really a pleasure to travel with your company!... Read More

We really enjoyed our trip to Iceland. It exceeded our expectations! Our guide Erling was superb! We particularly like the fact that our group size was small. We were 11 people plus guide. Much more intimate & easy to get to know people. We only needed a small bus. The pace was good, the 10 day itinerary- Iceland Complete with Iceland Travel seemed just right, the food was excellent & the hotels were very good. We would highly recommend this trip. Iceland is a breathtaking country. We plan to go back.... Read More

ICELAND SUMMER ADVENTURE

9 NIGHTS / 11 DAYS
  • Day 1: Canada - Reykjavik (Iceland)Flight with a good itinerary.
  • Day 2: Reykjavik

    Upon arrival at the airport in Iceland, make your way toward the bus terminal for the transfer to your hotel via shuttle bus. The rest of the day is free for you to start your exploration of Reykjavik, the capital and largest city in the country. Ingolfur Arnarson, the first Icelandic settler, built his farm on the peninsula where Reykjavik is today. The city owes its name, "Bay of Smoke", to the steam jets that could be seen rising from hot springs in the region and which probably impressed the first European settlers. Around 6 pm, you will meet with your guide and your group in the lobby of the hotel to learn more about the tour. Dinner at leisure and overnight in Reykjavik.

  • Day 3: Thingvellir National Park - Geysir - Gullfoss

    Following breakfast, you will meet your guide in the lobby of your hotel. After a short city sightseeing of Reykjavik, you will head to Lake Thingvallavatn, Iceland's largest lake and Thingvellir National Park. This UNESCO heritage site is where the world’s oldest continuing parliamentary government was founded in the 10th century. It is also the place where the North American and European tectonic plates meet. You will have the unusual experience of walking between two continents!

    Afterwards you will visit Gullfoss, the "Golden Waterfall", where various walking paths give you photo-worthy views of the beautiful double-ledged cascade. You’ll also visit the nearby Geysir hot spring area to see the famous Geysir and Strokkur, as well as numerous other hot springs and boiling mud pools.

    During the day you’ll get a glimpse into Icelandic local life. Visit an Icelandic family farm where tomatoes are grown using organic geothermal energy. Tour the greenhouse and sample some of the farm’s sweet Icelandic tomatoes.

    Your day will end in Hveragerdi, a pretty town located in an active geothermal area. The locals have made clever use of underground hot springs to provide heat for homes, as well as greenhouses that grow flowers, fruits and vegetables. Dinner and overnight in the Hveragerdi area. (Breakfast-Dinner)

  • Day 4: Thjorsardalur Valley - Skogar - Dyrholaey - VikBreakfast at your hotel.

You’ll also see Svinafellsjokull, one of the most beautiful glacial “tongues” that are slowly creeping down from Vatnajokull.

    After, visit Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon where you’ll enjoy the breathtaking sight of icebergs floating in the fantastic 180m (591 ft.) deep glacial lagoon. You also have the option of enjoying a boat tour amid the icebergs (must be booked in advance). You will spend the night in Hofn, a fishing port in the shadow of Vatnajokull glacier.
