Personalized trips to Iceland
for independent travelers

Great location, walking distance to everything (no need to drive anywhere) and start was awesome.

Family friendly, fantastic rooms, great restaurant and a hot spring that is a must when there.

The hotel was fantastic, clean comfortable and very homie. Only thing I would say is if there's a way to turn off the lights from the walk away and the porch at night to see the northern lights.

We had a great time doing this. Our tour guide took too is to a third location that we feel was the best stop.

Great way to start your trip.

Our food tour is a must if you are visiting. Not only did we try a bit of every restaurant (oh and come hungry because you do eat a lot) our tour guide Katrín Elíasdóttir was extraordinary. We were on a good and history tour with her and I would recommend her to anyone.

Great location, friendly/helpful front desk staff. Nice breakfast and Starbucks adjacent to lobby. Clean and functional room.

Nice cottages in the countryside, clean and functional. Good views of sheep grazing in the fields, horses in the distance and creek nearby.

Good location along the southern ring road. Ample parking and good breakfast. Very plain, functional room.

Great place to see the Northern Lights, and they have a camera on the tv system that you can use to monitor status of the Northern Lights. Very plain and basic, but clean and functional rooms. Nice views from our room of the Arnarstapi coastline. Breakfast was not included and hotel restaurant was expensive. Very limited other options nearby. Good location and lots to see along the coast within walking distance.

Good location, near the marina. Welcoming hotel with apartment type rooms and common gathering spaces. Good breakfast. Parking was limited to street parking adjacent to the hotel.

Great location near the Golden Circle. Helpful staff. Good breakfast. Dinner was very good but quite expensive. The room was nice, clean and functional.

Really enjoyed this lagoon experience. Seemed more authentic and relaxing compared to other lagoons. Less crowded, friendly staff, very nice facility and views of the bridge/river/landscaping.

Very unique experience. Landscape was beautiful. Ice caves were limited and did not fully reflect marketing pictures (some blue ceilings). Super jeep vehicle was unreliable and not properly maintained. Parts of the path up to the ice cave access was slippery and steep.

Really enjoyed this unique experience. Appreciated the history and using the local ground geothermal properties for cooking. Break was very good!

Very unique experience. Interesting opportunity to walk across a large lava flow field to the access point and to step down into the lava cave. The wooden walkways/steps made access easier. Interesting geology that was well explained by our guide. We did not see any stalactites or stalagmites as stated in the activity description.

This experience was cancelled by the service provide due to poor weather conditions/wind.

We really enjoyed this experience. Minty our local Icelandic guide was exceptional! The variety of restaurants, food, beverages and stories/history was great!

We cancelled this activity 24 hours in advance due to poor weather conditions and schedule conflict.

Great place on the hillside overlooking the little village. Good onsite parking. Included breakfast was very well done and filling

Very unique & quirky establishment on Reykjavik harbor. No parking on site but you can pull up to the door (alley side not street side) and drop off luggage quickly. Parked on the street a few blocks away which wasn't too bad cost wise for a night. Breakfast included and it was great. Easy walk into downtown for food, shopping, and sights. Saw the Northern Lights over the harbor despite all city lights.

Our favorite of our four accommodations. Set back in the SW countryside surrounded by fields and grazing animals. Dinner and breakfasts were very delicious and filling. We did the riverside cabins which were spacious and quiet. Great place to step outside at night to see the Northern Lights on the last night.

A cool place just on the edge of downtown and an easy walk to the sights. Street parking was available and free but did fill up so we didn't move once we got our spot for the one night. We took a chance and dropped in at 2 PM and they were able to accommodate an early check-in. Breakfast was not in the rate and was pricy ($30US I think) so we got some light fare at a city market.

A beautiful site challenged by an angry Iceland weather day. No regrets stopping and getting some good views of the arches, lighthouse, and beaches. We were a few weeks late to see puffins but maybe next time. ;)

A beautiful view though we were getting angry, rainy, windy Iceland weather during our visit. Still glad we stopped to see them. The 'sneaker waves' are no joke. They would hit the columns and much of the beach very quickly.

Best of all the falls we saw during our trip. A very expansive visitor center/diner/gift store on site.

We really enjoyed this town. We spent our first and last nights in Iceland here and got to do some exploring of the downtown, old town, shops, and sights. We even got Northern Lights from our downtown hotel, which was a bonus.

We landed at KEF at 0630 and were in the Blue Lagoon by 0845. It was a great wake up and re-invigoration after our 5 hour redeye from BWI. Crowds were not bad and you could find some quieter spots beyond the main lagoon to enjoy the experience. The premium experience was nice with the different mud treatments and the robe for lounge outside the water.

Grand falls along the coastline drive between Vik and Reykjavik. We stopped to take it in from the base; weren't up for the 500 steps to the overlook.

Vik was a quaint little town. Icelandic weather challenged us this day this some stormy weather, but it did not stop us nor this influencer in front of the iconic Vik church taking a gigabyte of photos. We did go to the wool shop recommended in the KimKim Vik write up to a) meet the dogs, and b) get some locally sourced and produced Icelandic wool sweaters. Big win on both counts. We lunched at the Black Crust Pizza place which was delicious.

A stop on the silver ring that worked out wonderfully for us for different reasons. A friendly Icelandic Sheepdog was running loose in the parking lot, greeting all the arrivals. We are dog people and to get to see & pet this adorable, unique breed pup was big bonus points for us. The hot spring was interesting but not much to see. There is a vendor on site selling snacks and Icelandic hot dogs. If you bought food, you could sit in his large greenhouse and enjoy it in comfort. Did I mention there was a dog ;)

This was our first black sand beach and it was very beautiful, accented by a somewhat stormy day.

A beautiful, well-run facility and experience. Did the full experience with the 7(?) stages which you get to do once. Rest of the time is relaxing in the lagoon and enjoying the views of the harbor.

A well-run experience to see the effects of lava on Iceland up-close. The chambers were very unique and full of great sights and sounds.

A must-see site on the Golden circle that we enjoyed. Iceland challenged us again at this locale with both calm cool weather as well as 40 knot rain & wind in the face. Took the walk from the visitor center to the overlook, down the split to the waterfalls and over to the parliament building. All very interesting

A beautiful sight though Iceland weather wasn't presenting the most beautiful views the one day we had available to see it on the way to the west coast. No regrets including it in our itinerary.

The seas were rough that day so we got quite the show of wind, sea, surf along the path. Paths were well marked and easy to traverse. Be sure to get a selfie with the large stone troll statue.

This was an optional addon from Noga, our KimKim advisor, and was well worth the divert along the 'silver ring' as we drove from Reykjavik to Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Though not as large as Gullfoss, the span and setting made the falls very charming especially with the fall colors.

Seemed to be a nice town with several good restaurants. it was our base for exploring Snæfellsnes Peninsula so did not walk around here.

We got there too late for the main farm and restaurant, but the Bistro next door was open & pretty magical. Great food and ambiance. We each had tomato soup and split a burrata & tomato ravioli and a cheesecake with tomato jam.

Seljalandsfoss was as wonderful as you see in all the pictures. Didi the walk around back and enjoyed the view. We did not make the trek to Gljúfrabúi as we'd spent all day in Icelandic rain and wind.

It was a well-run experience though in mid-September there were not a lot of whale sightings to be had. As our guide/spotter/photographer Matteo reminded everyone, we are going into the wild, not an aquarium. He did get four pictures of the animals we saw on the trip which the tour company emailed to us upon request (as they did not have my email thru the Kimkim booking).

A great full day off road enjoying the backcountry. Nine of us on the tour loaded into a large Mercedes offroad vehicle. Perfect for full offroad riding and river crossings. Many stops to take in caves, waterfalls, glaciers, and rivers. Midpoint we stopped for an opportunity for a self-paced 45-minute moderate hike to a summit for a great view of the valley. We chose to only hike halfway and enjoyed the views seen in my picture below.
