Thank you for an unforgettable trip to the land of fire and ice, where rainbows and waterfalls abound. We had a fantastic guide, with incredible folklore stories and deep knowledge of Iceland's history that made this experience even more special. I’m so grateful to have been part of this tour group, and witnessing the northern lights the last night was the perfect way to end this magical journey!

What a spectacular trip! Our guide, Jura, was exceptional and provided so much knowledge on Iceland’s folklore, which I found so impactful. We also saw SO much stuff in the 3 days we were on the road. While it was tiring, it was absolutely worth it. The bus was very comfortable and I slept comfortably on it while we drove.
In terms of improvements, the accommodations could be better, especially the one in Reykjavik. I personally wished the washrooms were cleaner.
However, the trip was still amazing and the other highlights, besides the beauty of Iceland, included the wonderful people I met on the tour and seeing the Northern Lights in Reykjavik. Excited to travel with Intrepid again soon!

I absolutely LOVED this trip. If you are lucky enough to get Halla then I can guarantee your trip will be amazing. Iceland is phenomenal…the food, the landscapes & the people. It’s a great trip and I can’t recommend it enough.
