Hanna Kravchenko

The most important for me in every trip is finding the balance between seeing as much as possible and having time to enjoy what you see. I prefer traveling by car with comfort and reasonable pace. I'm the one who likes to come back to my favorite places to know them better just from inside. But I never repeat my routes and even in familiar places I try to do something new.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in self-drive tours in Iceland and Faroe Islands. "

How did you get involved in travel?

"I was born in the family of a tour guide and absorbed my love of travel and tourism with my mother's milk. First worked as an operations manager for a cruise ship organization, then as air ticket manager and after started my career in planning and organization of travels. First time visited Iceland in 2014 and since then can't stop coming back. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I will always remember northern lights over our cabin near Tromso, first flight by helicopter on the Faroe Islands and finding an abandoned house which belongs to my friends' family in Westfjords of Iceland. I dream about midnight sun kayaking in Greenland. "

Favorite experiences

Jeep Tour of Askja Northern Highlands

Deep in Iceland's Northern Highlands is the Askja area, where Mount Herðubreið, a majestic table mountain of a truly peculiar shape, acts as the gateway to the wild region. The peak's dark silhouette is unmistakable, even from very far away. Still, the area's most precious gem is Askja itself,...

Skógafoss Waterfall

One of Iceland's all-time favorite cascades is Skógafoss Waterfall, thanks to its width and power—standing in front of it is proof enough! In addition, you'll often find a rainbow curving through Skógafoss' mist. Skógafoss is just a 2-hour drive from Reykavik or about 30 minutes from Vik. Just...

Birdwatching & Hiking the Látrabjarg Cliffs

Látrabjarg is one of the largest bird cliffs in Iceland, located at the westernmost point of Europe in the Westfjords region of Iceland. The cliffs stretch up to nearly 1,500 feet (441 m) high and are almost 9 miles (14 km) long. These steep, vertical cliffs are home to millions of birds in the...

I have to give a huge thanks to Hanna and the KimKim team for planning an amazing winter trip to Iceland for our 30th wedding anniversary. I had a wonderful conversation with Hanna about what our goals were, comfort level and needs were and she delivered. We wanted to cover as much of Iceland as we could in our 8 day stay and still have time to enjoy each stop. She created a well thought out itinerary along with suggestions for other attractions along the way. We stayed at four different hotels on a self guided trip and every one was just perfect for us. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on our second night. Iceland is the most beautiful country that we have ever visited. We plan on going back to experience a different season of the year. Hanna was friendly, very responsive and a joy to work with. I will definitely be using KimKim to plan more vacations.

We used Blue Cave Adventure and our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and an absolute joy to have. The caves were incredible to see and should be a must on your list of things to do. Our guide gave us plenty of time to get our photos.

Quality of Experience
We were with a friendly group of people and to walk on the glacier and to see how beautiful the caves were are something that I will not soon forget!
Guides, Drivers and Staff
The driver was our guide and she was so polite and friendly and shared wonderful knowledge and stories with us. She was well prepared and always made sure that we were properly prepared and safe.
Transport
The meeting point was in the parking lot of Glacier Lagoon which was very convenient. The vehicle that took us to the caves was designed to handle the very rough conditions of the trails to get you to the caves. The also provided helmets with headlamps and crampons.

We planned a 16-day, self-driving trip to circle Iceland. Our travel rep did a great job with pacing, activities, things to see and do along the way, dining suggestions, as well as hotel selections. There were no surprises, our reservations were always there, and our rep was quick to answer any questions. This is our second big trip that we organized through KimKim, and we have been impressed with the personnel and agencies they have hooked us up with.

She was responsive and able to make changes during planning when requested. She understood what would work best for us and provided great tips in the itinerary.

Guides who were especially good were Johnathan for the Silfra snorkel and Pawel for the ice cave.

Super fun. A bit physically challenging, but in a good way. You go right inside an ice cave on a glacier and then through it to come out on the other side to hike on the glacier a short way.
