Jenny Booth
I love Iceland! I love the people, the scenery and the culture. After living in Iceland and going on many adventures myself, I have the knowledge and experience to work with others to plan a trip that not only has that WOW factor but becomes something to talk about for years to come.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"All of Iceland, self drive trips and guided tours.
Having lived in the Westfjords and travelled within Iceland myself I have knowledge and experience of some of the best spots to visit, both the well known tourist destinations and the more 'off the beaten track' areas too. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I am an adventurer, it is in my blood. I began traveling as soon as I was old enough to head out into the world on my own. I lived and worked in many places from the small islands of the Caribbean to the snowy mountains in Northern Sweden. After travelling to New Zealand and Australia I finally settled in the Westfjords of Iceland with my family. Now I work for 'Iceland Offbeat' planning amazing trips for people around this wonderful island that is Iceland."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"There are so many to chose from! But here are a few.....
* Taking part in the annual 'rotten food' festival near Ísafjörður and experiencing Hakarl (fermented shark) with the locals!
* Accidentally finding a natural hot spring whilst on a 7 hour road trip, just bubbling up from the ground. Of course we had to stop for a paddle even though it was minus conditions!
* My car breaking down, on a dead end road 'somewhere' in the Westfjords of Iceland with my teething 9 month old and toddler in tow. We eventually got rescued but had a great time watching the sea birds and eating blueberries from the mountainside whilst we waited.
* My biggest and best experience of all is the nature and scenery and people, their kind and friendly nature and laid back ways. "

Out tour guide for the Laugevegar, Emma, was fantastic. The only concern was the guide to client ration, 16:1. On the first day one of our group suffered from a near sun opal episode and could not continue- only Emma’s quick thinking and the luck of her knowing another guide avoided the need for our entire group to abort our trip- this is not ver safe and also does not... Read more

Thank you for your five star review and honest feedback. I understand the situation around having only one guide. This is how most of the group hiking tours work on the Laugevegar trail. To have an additional guide, even to just help with the cooking and cleaning would increase the trip price considerably.

Jenny from Kimkim was amazing. From start to finish revert aspect of our trip was flawless. Jenny was patient and attentive and got us everything we wanted in this trip. Emma from Icelandic Mountain Guides was a true hero on our hiking trip along with Antoine and Eythor of Icebikes for our gravel biking adventure.
I can’t recommend these folks enough. Trust in them to provide you with a truly memorable and rewarding experience
Ernie Johnson.

Hi Ernie,
What amazing feedback, thank you.
Your 19 days in Iceland were truly adventurous. From your 6 day hut to hut hiking trip through the highlands, to gravel biking in the south and whale watching in the north, along with all the sights in between. It's fantastic to hear all our plans came together to make such a memorable trip for you all.

Our trip to Iceland was wonderful and memorable. Jenny provided an excellent day by day itinerary which we followed religiously. Along the way we a few things we discovered on our own. Driving the Ring Road is an experience that we will not forget. This is our first time using Kim Kim and we’re not disappointed.

What a great start to your trip seeing the aurora borealis on your first night!
Thank you for your suggestion of a Whattsapp group. This is not something we have at present, but we do have a 24 hour telephone number which, as a team, we share the responsibility of.
Sometimes the weather can change the best made plans and for you both this was the case. I am so glad you chose to take the 'dry land' dog tour after your sled tour was cancelled, I know meeting the dogs was something you were really looking forward to.
What a great experience!

Hi Deborah,
Thank you for your comments and five star rating.
You chose to take the lesser visited route traveling from the North via the West fjords. It's fantastic news to hear you got to see the Northern lights.
Regarding the hotel not being aware that your room was paid for. This seems to have been a miss understanding at the hotels reception. Often we (Iceland Offbeat) are invoiced after you have stayed with certain accommodation providers. This was not a problem though and was cleared up quickly.

Below are some of my personal view
- Quite upset that despite multiple request for a bigger space 4x4 car but on the day of collection of car n loading up all our luggages to find out that the luggages had filled to the ceiling of the car thus blocking driver’s rear view. We decided to change to Volkswagen caddy which is the only bigger car available.
- Another disappointment is the poor GPS device given which couldn’t key in the exact location of our... Read more

I am happy to hear that overall you had a good trip. I am sorry to hear about the parts of your trip which were disappointing for you.
To address your points:
We spoke in detail about the best and most cost effective rental vehicle for your group. After initially looking at a Kia Sportage, you added an additional person to your group and advised you would be taking four large suitcases. I then recommend upgrading to a Kia Sorento, 7 seater, which fits four suitcases in the boot... Read more
