The Ultimate Adventure in Iceland

This was my first time doing something like this so I was super nervous to meet a group of strangers in a new place but it was super easy & we all became fast friends! I met the most amazing people & now have new travel buddies & friends for life! As someone who has a lot of flexible time off work it’s difficult for me to find people to adventure with regularly & these trips have opened a new door for me to travel & make friends at the same time without the stress of going completely solo. There was good communication before & during the trip & our guide Thora was amazing & so knowledgeable, making our trip run smoothly even when the weather got in the way! I would thoroughly recommend these trips to solo travellers or anyone that wants to travel stress free & meet new friends, I’m already planning my next one!

Overall, the trip was really good. I arrived later at night. Getting to the hotel was easy enough. The hotel on the first night itself was decent enough. The room was pretty small with few outlets for recharging electronics. The food at breakfast was pretty typical contindntal breakfast. The first hike and dip in the outdoors spring was nice enough. The hike was very easy. The hot spring was a nice relief on a somewhat cold and rainy day. The stay at the hostel was horrible. The rooms had paper thin walls, the rooms were very small and hot, and the food at breakfast was pretty sparse. The outings on the following days were very good with the exception of the airplane crash site. That was a long, dull walk with no payoff. I would replace this a hike elsewhere. The guide was also very pleasant and informative.

This trip was outstanding. It was a perfect combination of adventure as well as sightseeing. Very well planned and easy paced activities. Our guide Palli did a great job in organising everything and making sure our trip was as smooth as possible. He is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The accomodations were very clean and very comfortable, food was great on this trip, although some stops did not have a lot of vegetarian options. Neverthless it was only a minor inconvenience and did not take anything away from this experience.

Iceland is beautiful and this trip was a great introduction to the country. Our local guide was amazing, super friendly and helpful. It definitely sparked the desire for me to go back to Iceland next year and explore more.

This trip is a nice introduction to Iceland in 4-5 days. The days are filled with good day hikes and other noteworthy adventures. Iceland is a beautiful country in its raw natural state. If you like to leave the city behind and enjoy nature at its best, then this trip may be for you! I learned a lot about this north European country, and I truly appreciate having a local guide who knows and loves this country, eager to share his part of the world with us.

I enjoyed this much but a couple of tweaks could have made it even better. Day one was basically us finding a hotel and checking in, not really part of a 5 day adventure. . would have been great for a meet and great that night. Our tour leader Paulli was amazing, absolutely great. The American plane wreck was a bit rubbish, would have preferred more icelandic stuff to be honest but apart for that. . . great stuff

It was a fantastic trip! It’s not 5 days as 1st day you arrive; no one meets you and you make your own way to the bus stop in the morning; described as day 2. Once you get going; fabulous! Great long days, thank you. Little explanation for the next day; questions asked were answered but had to ask them; from do we take or wear swimming costumes etc…? Do we need our rucksacks or is it a short walk?…. Leader was super knowledgeable, great local knowledge thanks Palli! Was shocked that to retrieve a lost towel would cost 3x more than the towel! Felt the last day was a lot of driving; especially if didn’t want the airport. The visit to the plane crash was unnecessary; would’ve loved a walk in the hills. Loved the combo of walk; dip in river, beach and water falls. Stand out was glacier, be it kayaks or walking. Something to remember is cater for all if booking meals. Loved the use of supermarkets to keep costs down. Great group size.

Great itinerary to see wonderful scenery. Active but not too demanding - an excellent short trip to see the highlights.

This was a much-needed solo trip but it was full of amazing surprises, absolutely amazing, and made a great connection with everyone in the group. The local guide was fabulous i highly recommend the 5-day Ultimate adventure in Iceland for first timers.
