Kimkim Trip Reviews for Iceland

Veronika planned the perfect trip for me and my partner. It was the perfect pace, the activities from the Blue Lagoon to Glacier tour were stunning experiences. The locations she found for us to stay were breathtaking. I honestly couldn't have done it without her help and expertise. My partner and I are dying to return and would use Veronika and KimKim again in a heartbeat.

Katla Ice Cave

Iceland

This was such an amazing experience, the tour guide was fantastic and knowledgable. The trip out was a bit long but once you get there being able to walk on a glacier is breath taking. They were very careful about safety.

Where do I start to describe this phenomenal adventure Gummi planned for us?? It was so well organized and unbelievably planned with such care and accuracy that we completely wore ourselves out with great new experiences and adventures words will never be able to describe. The pictures will speak for themselves. We started at Blue Lagoon and ended at Sky Lagoon with a visit to Laugarás Lagoon in the middle and we NEEDED all 3!! Our favorite was Laugarás Lagoon!!
Our hotels were all amazing (CenterHotel Plaza(Reykjavík) / Dís Cottages (Snæfellsnes Peninsula) / Hotel Bifrost (Reykholt) / Hótel Grímsborgir by Keahotels (Golden Circle) / Black Beach Suites (Vík) / CenterHotel Klopp (Reykjavík) and ALL of the staff were a joy to meet and took very good care of us the entire trip. Our favorite was Hótel Grímsborgir!!
Our adventures included but was not limited to: 3 Lagoons / Víðgelmir Lava Cave Experience / Langjökull Glacier Snowmobiling Adventure / Sólheimajökull Glacier Walk and we cant pick just one favorite....recommend all of them, hands down!! The guides were impressive as well, we tipped them for their amazing service!!

Our itinerary:
1 - Reykjavík- Blue Lagoon: ate at the tapas at Tapas Barinn (AMAZING) around the corner from the hotel and had the seafood soup at Sæta Svínið Gastropub (OUT OF THIS WORLD). The town center was already filling up with beautiful Christmas decorations and it was just magical!
2 - Reykjavík to Snæfellsnes Peninsula: stopped at Hvalfjörður - Whale Fjord (didnt see one but we knew they were there! / stopped at Hraunfossar for the “Lava Falls” (breathtaking and COLD) / Víðgelmir Lava Cave Experience (A MUST DO) / sun set too quickly for us to see Gerðuberg Basalt Cliffs (next time) / checked into Dis Cottages and made our wwn dinner and stayed up to watch the northern lights!
3 - Snæfellsnes Peninsula - missed Kirkjufellsfoss falls but saw the mountain / Lóndrangar basalt sea stacks / Explored Arnarstapi and had THE BEST Lamb Soup in Iceland at Samkomuhúsið Arnarstapa / pictures at Búðir Church / ended at Ytri Tunga Seal Beach (the seals put on a show for us too)
4 - Snæfellsnes Peninsula to Reykholt - Kolugljúfur Canyon (worth the drive) / missed Hvitserkur and got sidetracked on our way to Bifrost with the MOST DELICIOUS Lamb Chops at the local gas station!!
5 - Reykholt to Golden Circle - we had snow so driving was slower than normal - Þingvellir National Park (the p's sound like t's and had us soooo confused) but the drive was beautiful / ate at Efstidalur II Farm Bistro and the burgers were of course AMAZING / couldnt get to Brúarfoss with the weather and had an appointment at Laugarás Lagoon - Lerki (MUST MUST MUST EXPERIENCE) / checked into Hótel Grímsborgir and this place was our favorite!!
6 - Golden Circle - slept in due to the Northern lights last night / passed on Kerið Crater / walked the Geysir Geothermal Area - bitter cold (the welcome center was delightful) / Gullfoss Waterfall was spectacular / on to Langjökull Glacier Snowmobiling Adventure / with a piece of glacier ice and a short JD, we headed back to Hótel Grímsborgir for dinner
7 - Golden Circle to Vík - Seljalandsfoss & Gljúfrabúi Waterfalls (too crowded, going back tomorrow / Skogafoss Waterfall (BEAUTIFUL) / Kvernufoss Waterfall (we passed ont his one to get to Sólheimajökull Glacier Walk (AN ABSOLUTE MUST MUST MUST DO!! OUR GUIDE SAM WAS INCREDIBLE) ON TO Black Beach Suites (Vík) (BOUGIE and VERY COMFORTABLE - 30ft wall of windows to boot)!
8 - Vík - tried to get to Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon but the drive and snow was a bit too much. We turned around and decided to shake things up and explore on our own. We found the Black pizza place and it didnt dissappoint!
9 - Vík to Reykjavík - Reynisfjara Beach & Reynisdrangar Columns was just beautiful / Dyrhólaey Arch and Cliffs (DO NOT MISS THIS! THE VIEW IS SPECTATUCULAR. OUR FAVORITE OF THE ENTIRE TRIP. YOU CAN SEE THE GLACIER IN THE DISTANCE AND THE BLACK BEACHES BELOW....JUST SPECTACULAR ALL AROUND) /Urridafoss (SO HAPPY WE SQUEEZED THIS ONE IN!!) / Sky Lagoon Experience - Sér (another AMAZING experience (7steps ritual!!) / back to CenterHotel Klopp and had dinner at MAR (Fish pans) COMPLIMENTS WERE GIVEN TO THE CHEF ON OUR WAY OUT....DELICIOUS!!
10 - Explore Reykjavík - Hallgrímskirkja / Sun Voyager Sculpture / Laugavegur Street (I think) for the Famous hot dog / back to America but we are looking forward to returning and experiencing more of Iceland with Gummi's help! We sooooo lucked out when we managed to meet him...what an AMAZING job he did at packing so much into 10 days! We are exhausted but FOREVER GRATEFUL!

Gummi organized an absolutely amazing trip for us in Iceland. We decided on the road-trip as a babymoon fairly last minute, and he quickly jumped in to help us. After sending an initial itinerary, we then did a zoom call, made a few adjustments, and then had the perfect trip plan.

The trip was the perfect mix of hitting the "hot spots" (i.e. the Golden Circle), as well as visiting and staying in some slightly more remote places (would highly recommend spending two nights on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, that was our favorite stop!). Although the schedule was packed, we never felt overwhelmed or like we were rushing from attraction to attraction - it would have been impossible for us to have planned something like this ourselves.

This is my second time using Kimkim and we will absolutely be using it again!

Planning a vacation has never been easier, thanks to having true experts to guide us (the KimKim team). We were especially pleased to learn that our travel planner, Èric, actually lived in Iceland. His familiarity with the country—its culture, terrain, and hidden gems—gave us complete confidence that we were in excellent hands.

We shared with Èric the kinds of activities we enjoy, the cultural and natural sights that were important to us, and the pace we wanted for our 22-day trip. With so much time to explore, we chose to rent a 4-wheel-drive vehicle so we could occasionally go off the beaten path and linger at our favorite places. Èric fully understood this style of travel and tailored everything beautifully.

Over the course of a year, we worked with Èric casually but consistently, and we deeply appreciated his prompt and easy communication. He is an excellent listener and wonderfully tactful as he guided us through unfamiliar territory. He created an initial itinerary as a baseline—never pushy—giving us all the time we needed to review and make thoughtful decisions. We kept the heart of his plan but added our own ideas and research, and he was always accommodating. When he had a better suggestion, he presented it diplomatically and with clear reasoning.

Throughout the planning process, it truly felt as if Èric were sitting right beside us, helping shape our journey. Once everything was finalized, he delivered a beautifully detailed and well-organized itinerary where every piece of information we might need was right at our fingertips.

Our time in Iceland was an amazing, fun, once in a lifetime trip. The accommodations chosen for us, the country’s natural beauty, the history and culture we learned about, and the wonderful Icelandic people we met made the experience truly exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for anything more—except perhaps a little more time!

We couldn’t have asked for a better planning experience and highly recommend working with Èric for an unforgettable Iceland adventure.

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Kayaking Tour

Iceland

When we first arrived at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon the sun was shining and it was an absolutely stunning sight! The color of the water and different shades of blue coming off the floating icebergs took me by surprise-such beauty with the Vatnajökull glacier as the backdrop. It made me excited about kayaking the lagoon-a first for me to paddle amongst icebergs! But within the hour clouds took over and a light steady rain began. Suddenly the tour didn’t seem like it was going to be much fun. But our small group suited up and braved the walk with paddles in hand to where the kayaks waited. Instructions were given on safety while kayaking the lagoon and how to paddle. And I should mention that the outfitter had appropriate waterproof and warm gear for us during this wet and cold paddle trip. The weather deterred the majority of the visitors that were there earlier so we had the lagoon to ourselves. It was quiet and serene on the water and the rain stopped the moment we started our paddle. The clouds remained but didn’t take an ounce of beauty away from the experience. I had goosebumps paddling around the looming icebergs. They were pieces of artwork. Our guides were fun and informative and made safety a priority. The equipment was in very good condition, kayaks are sturdy. Our suits were a Godsend. The experience was unique and memorable. This is a good trip for people with any level of kayaking experience. I loved this experience. After our excursion we crossed the road to see Diamond Beach. Another amazing surprise!

Katla Ice Cave Superjeep tour

Iceland

My husband and I loved this tour! Our group of 8 others were friendly and fun. Our guide (sorry I don’t remember his name) was upbeat, funny, and so informative. He’s a skilled off road driver and really took us on a fun, scenic ride. For us it was all about the Super Jeep. It’s soooo cool! Once we were at our location we were suited up and had a nice moderate walk to the ice caves. It wasn’t a very extensive cave but it was a great example of an ice cave and beautiful inside. Throughout the tour we didn’t feel rushed. Our guide answered every question we had for him without hesitation. We couldn’t wait to get back into the Super Jeep for the ride back!!!

Reykjavik Food Walk

Iceland

It wasn’t quite what I expected. Our guide, sorry, I don’t remember his name, was an unforgettable character and spent a lot of time talking about local history, culture, and had some great jokes to share as well. But I was there to experience some delicious unfamiliar exotic local fare and thought this would be a great cultural food introduction of Iceland as we navigated to different eateries throughout downtown Reykjavik. I’m not a foodie, but it was not a good introduction as I shortly learned throughout my travels in Iceland, having meals at small local cafes in other towns and villages. What was offered on the tour was completely subpar to what I experienced elsewhere so I have to say that the food tour failed as an example of how delicious the traditional dishes really are. The food in the country including stops at some of the fuel stations were much better and delicious. But don’t let my opinion of the tour discourage you. Walking the city, enjoying the camaraderie of our group of 10, and getting a good idea of the lay of Reykjavik under the guidance of our big burly host was worth the time in itself. And you may have a completely different opinion of the food offered on this tour. Not all taste buds are alike!

I didn't know what to what to expect when I first reached out to KimKim to help plan our Anniversary Trip to Iceland. Within a short while of completing the online questionnaire I was contacted by a local special specialist, Guðmundur (Gummi) Óli, in Iceland. Gummi asked me a series of questions regarding what we were hoping to see while in Iceland. He also allowed me time to ask questions about other sites to see and availability based on the time of year we are visiting. Within a day, I received a draft itinerary and initial pricing, all of which seemed reasonable. I then reached out to Gummi for clarification of exactly what was included, and if we could change some of the proposed items. I don’t know how much time I was saved by the work of Gummi but I guarantee that I would not have been able to put together such a comprehensive itinerary.
Upon arriving in Iceland, everything was as planned. I was also provided detailed digital maps showing my drives for every day from one site to another. I don’t think I would’ve been able to enjoy the trip as much if I had planned it personally and I’m pretty sure I would not have been able to see all of the sites that we were able to see.
We will definitely be using kimkim again for our next travels

Sky Lagoon Experience - Sér

Reykjavík

The Sky Lagoon Experience was awesome. We had to reschedule the time, and it was done quickly and smoothly thanks to excellent support from Gummy. The experience itself was rejuvenating and a perfect way to unwind towards the end of our trip.

Silfra Snorkeling Adventure

Golden Circle

The Silfra Snorkeling Adventure was fantastic. The guide was great, and it's amazing to think that you're snorkeling between two tectonic plates. Although it's understandable that you don't see much marine life, the rocks and underwater views were still captivating. It's a unique experience that you can't get anywhere else.

Víðgelmir Lava Cave Experience

Iceland

The Víðgelmir Lava Cave experience was good and something different from the other activities we had planned. It's an interesting way to explore the unique geological features of Iceland. We enjoyed it.

Breiðamerkurjökull Ice Cave Experience

Iceland

The ice cave experience at Breiðamerkurjökull was really good. It was one of the standout activities on our trip. We wanted to see and do something unique, and this activity certainly delivered. It aligned perfectly with the top activities we wanted to do in Iceland. I'm glad we got this done and it was well worth it.

We had a great time. Guomundur Òli was great. He helped us navigate some pretty crazy weather and kept the trip fun. His suggestions were great and helpful.

We had the most incredible trip and had the best experience with kimkim!!!! Nick and Noga were the primary agents that helped us with this trip from start to finish and were so wonderful. They helped us with some weather concerns during our trip and did everything to make sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be using kimkim again!! If you get the pleasure to work with Nick or Noga you will be in good hands!

Sky Lagoon Experience - Saman

Reykjavík

Quality of Experience

We had an incredible experience with our tour operator, Guðmundur Óli Pálmason, who curated a fast-paced, see-it-all Iceland adventure. Our itinerary covered the classic must-see sights along the South Coast as well as the stunning Snæfellsnes Peninsula in the west, a beautiful region that feels more off the beaten path and absolutely worth exploring.

The trip combined scenic self-drives, unforgettable natural attractions, and unique activities, with plenty of opportunities to soak in Iceland’s geothermal pools. Every day was thoughtfully planned to maximize experiences to see as much as we could in a week. Guðmundur’s deep local knowledge, organization, and personal attention made the journey seamless and memorable. We highly recommend him and will definitely use him again when planning our next trip to Iceland.

Our travel co ordinator, Guðmundur Óli provided us with an itinerary which enabled us to experience the beauty and character of Iceland. Each day provided a different facet of Iceland's natural beauty & contrast. Additionally, all of the details which are critical for a stress free experience were taken care of. Guðmundur Óli provided an excellent level of service.

I recently decided to visit Iceland but didn’t know much about the country, so I started researching things to do there. While browsing online, a chat box popped up asking what I needed. After entering some general information, I was connected with Emanuela from KimKim Travel. She asked me a few questions about my interests and travel goals, and I explained that I wanted her to design a trip for a best friend visiting Iceland for the first time.

Within a day, Emanuela sent me a complete itinerary featuring some of the most incredible sights and experiences in Iceland. As I reviewed her recommendations, I was amazed by the variety of unique and fascinating activities she included. A few days later, I reached out to her to adjust the schedule based on my arrival and departure dates, and she quickly provided a revised version that was absolutely perfect.

Once I approved the plan, Emanuela took care of all the bookings and confirmed every detail. She was incredibly attentive, ensuring everything matched what I envisioned for the trip. Before my departure, she sent me the final itinerary, all reservation details, and her personal contact information in case I needed assistance during my travels.

What truly impressed me was that Emanuela even checked in during my trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

I highly recommend Emanuela and KimKim Travel for anyone planning a trip to Iceland!

Emanuela was amazing to work with from start to finish. Always responding quickly and having all the answers we need! She planned us the perfect trip and took into account everything we wanted to do. One of our excursions canceled before our trip and she informed us quickly before the trip happened and was able to book something else in a timely manner so we didn’t miss out. While we were in Iceland having her as a point of contact was very helpful as we once felt lost and we almost immediately sent us the exact address of where we needed to go and we enjoyed all the restaurant recommendations. Highly recommended using Kimkim if you want to have a stress free trip where you can just show up and go and not have to think much about it. Highly recommended.

Glymur waterfalls hike

Iceland

We couldn’t do the river crossing because it was too deep- we would have had to get wet up to our shins. So, waterproof boots weren’t enough. Hikers should be aware that they have to walk in the river for several meters before they get to the log that spans the rest of the river. So, we never got to see the falls.

I wish the area would put in a small bridge to cross the river, so we could have completed the hike.

The scenery

We had fabulous trip to Iceland. We enjoyed the comfort of knowing that we had a solid itinerary planned for us, car and accommodations booked.
On arrival we got a call from the rental car company who met us and conveniently took us to our rental car. Everything was easy, which was really nice when you arrive at 6am without a good nights sleep.
We drove to The Secret Lagoon - which we enjoyed immensely. The place was clean, friendly and enjoyable.
Our first accommodations, Blue Hotel, was very nice. It was clean, friendly and quiet. The breakfast was really good. We also enjoyed the hot tub which was the perfect end to a day of touring.
The restaurant across the road - Mika - was excellent.
The day we spent seeing the sights on the Golden Circle was terrific. The directions were clear and the description were accurate.

Our next hotel in Vik, the Farm House was decent, but did not have the same warm vibe of the Blue Hotel. We had an issue with our door not locking. The solution from the staff was that “this is Iceland” no one will bother you. While this might be true we were not comfortable sleeping in an unlocked room. We did finally get the door to lock so it turned out fine in the end. We just were surprised that the staff did not seem to take our concerns seriously.

We stayed in one of the lodges which was nice. It had 2 rooms. But we suspect there might have been a mold issue- Dorian is very sensitive to mold and had an allergy flare up while staying there. (He was fine before and after our stay there.)
The breakfast was decent but nothing special.

The first day in the Vik area we saw the nearby glacier- which was incredible. We also went to the beach and enjoyed the views. We would recommend the su ur’Vik we had a very nice meal there and the service was great.

The second day in Vik we decided to scrap the itinerary which was a long day of driving to a park and another glacier. I’m sure would have been wonderful but we were tired of driving and wanted a day to rest. We went to the lava show - which we really enjoyed. Then a quick walk on the black sand beach. We would not recommend the halldorskaffi - the meal was not to our liking and the service was not friendly.

Our next stop was Reykjavik. We stayed at the Residents Inn. We were upgraded to a family suite. It was very nice, comfortable and convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. One small thing is that this hotel has many locations so we ended up at the main location which was not where we were to stay. There was a lot of construction going on around the main building so we could not park near the entrance. Fortunately we decided not to take our luggage until we knew where we were going so it worked out fine. Just wanted to let you know for future reference.

We had a very fun evening wandering the streets of Reykjavik - great atmosphere loads of places to eat, drink and shop.

The next morning we walked to our whale watching tour with Elding. We enjoyed this immensely! The day was beautiful and we saw dolphins and 2 kinds of whales. 🐳

In the afternoon we walked to the local swimming pool - we throughly enjoyed the hot tubs and local custom of spending time soaking in the wonderfully warm waters. For dinner we went to the Hereford Steakhouse- another fabulous meal. I will also add that we really appreciated having breakfast included with our stay, they brought a very nice spread to the room each day with fresh bread delivered by 8am. This was a very thoughtful addition to the plan - thank you!

On the final day as we made our way to the airport we went to Seltun geothermal area.
The drive from Reykjavik to Seltun was beautiful! Would definitely recommend this detour.

I am not very tech savvy and maybe there is a way to do this that I am not aware of but one thing that was slightly annoying about the itinerary is that we had to scroll through the whole thing to get to each day’s plan. It might be easier if there were tabs for each day so you could go directly to the day without scrolling the whole thing. If there is a way to do this that I am not aware of perhaps a short tutorial on how to use the system would be helpful.

Thanks for planning a wonderful trip for us!!
We would recommend your services to others.

Our trip to Iceland was great - the landscape & scenery were amazing. Our accommodations were very good and easy to get to with the help of the navigation system in the car rental. We thoroughly enjoyed not having a packed schedule to follow. Adam provided us with quite a few sights to consider visiting, giving tips about each site and some do's and don'ts. The roads were good and easy to travel. The only thing we weren't able to see was the northern lights, but we knew that it was a 50/50 chance of catching sight of them. The hot chocolate was delicious everywhere we purchased it!!!! We received warm hospitality from everyone we encountered.

The only thing that was a little bit of a negative was the ice cave tour. Adam had emailed us about some not so good reviews for the blue ice cave tour. We changed to one that left out of Vik. Our tour guide was not the most cordial nor informative - he acted like it was a chore to be there. The pace he set for the climb up was pretty brisk without too much consideration for those who were having trouble keeping up - especially with the shoe spikes on. My husband went about halfway up the hike and decided that he could not keep up, walked back down & caught a ride with the group that left the hotel before us. The size of the cave itself was rather anti-climatic being that the hike was pretty intense and at times intimidating crossing the "bridges" over the water rushing down from the glacier.

We have used kimkim twice now to help plan a vacation, we will use them again and have recommended them to others.

Thank you,
Larry & Sharon Goins

The Trip was well planned and hit all the right spots for us. Othman was very knowledgeable and steered us in the right direction.
Also he was very responsive.
Guides on the ground were fun and we had a great experience at the various venues.

The entire package was absolutely amazing. I lost count of the waterfalls - all of which were awesome.
Our tour of the Ice Cave was incredible and the hike on the glacier was a real high point of our journey.
The accommodation was excellent and in most cases the hotel meals were great.
Éric certainly put together a most memorable package.

Noga did an amazing job organizing our trip to Iceland. She captured all of our goals and budget and created the perfect trip and schedule for us.
We wanted to visit several waterfalls, mineral springs/lagoons, an ice cave, and snorkel at the Silfra Fissure. We also wanted to only drive 2-3 hours a day and wanted to see the Northern Lights.
The itinerary Noga created was perfect!
She and the staff at Kimkim were always available to us in times of need.
The app that presented our custom itinerary with links to Google Maps and tickets for activities and hotels was amazing. It made logistics so simple!
We highly recommend Kimkim and Noga for trips to Iceland!

Skuggi Hotel by Keahotels

I really liked the Skuggi Hotel by Keahotels in Reykjavik. The location was great, very close to many things to walk to. One of the standout points for us was the early check-in they provided after our overnight flight, which was incredibly helpful. They also offered us access to their breakfast, which was very much appreciated as we were exhausted and hungry upon arrival. It was a very welcoming experience, and having breakfast and a nap truly helped us recharge for the rest of our day.

Hike to Húsafell Canyon Baths

Iceland

The Hike to Húsafell Canyon Baths was a disappointment for us. It was advertised as a hike into a thermal pool, but in reality, the hike felt like just going down a dirt path with some steps. The pool itself was nice, but compared to other pools we've been to, it was underwhelming. It's not something we would have chosen to do had we known what it was.

Glacier Ice Cave Experience

Iceland

The Glacier Ice Cave Experience was very memorable. The guide took us to a few special spots, including filming locations for Game of Thrones, adding an interesting and unique layer to an already incredible excursion. It was well done and a must-see when in Iceland.

Silfra Snorkeling Adventure

Golden Circle

The Silfra Snorkeling Adventure was the highlight of our trip! It's definitely not for everybody, but it was a very unique experience that's worth doing. The location and the whole experience were nothing short of spectacular and stood out as a memorable part of our Iceland trip.

Adam worked closely with us to determine our interests and degree of difficulty. His experience and knowledge was spot on. Everything, every site, timeframe worked like clockwork! The weather made our whale watching trip adjust the start time and the communication was prompt and accurate. We were rewarded with seeing humpbacks!
We encountered no challenges with our car rental or accommodations. We strongly recommend the walking tour of Reykjavik- fascinating!

We knew Iceland would be amazing and it didn’t disappoint!
Thank you to Adam and the KimKim team for a wonderful trip!

Othman did a great job planning our 9 day trip to Iceland. Everything went smoothly and we were happy with all our accommodations and excursions. Highly recommend!
