Amazing Iceland!
Iceland

Mar 28 - Apr 5, 2026
Iceland was my bucket list destination and I was super excited from the moment I booked this trip and it turned out to be just what I expected, absolutely amazing! It wouldn't have been such a great trip, if not for Gummi! He made sure to include every single experience/attraction that I had asked for, in our itinerary. His meticulous and detailed planning was one of the reasons we were able to cover at least 90% of what we wanted to do! And he was extremely responsive via chats/calls, despite the time of the day! One specific thing I wanted to specifically thank him is for the Aurora sighting alerts he sent me! I was able to experience them 3 out of the 8 days I was there! This was a bucket list dream for me and thanks to Gummi, I was able to realize it! Considering the fact that it was not even super peak Aurora viewing season and that it rained/snowed/hailed almost every single day I was there, the fact that I was able to experience it was an added bonus! Special shoutout to Gummi for that!
There is a recommendation/suggestion that I want to make. Please note that, this is a generic suggestion and not targeted to Gummi....he was awesome and he gets five stars!
Recommendation/suggestion:
For people like us, who don't live anywhere near the Artic circle, Spring begins after March 15th! Which means we start seeing warmer weather! I expected the same in Iceland, which was one of the primary reasons I booked this trip after March 15th...Unfortunately it was a totally different scenario! The temparatures were still freezing and some of the parking lots that were listed in our itinerary were closed because of the snow! Same with a couple of the attractions/experiences...we had to skip them completely because of the severe weather. Also we experienced very heavy snow, hail,and very strong winds throughout our trip...and twice or thrice, we had very poor visibility during certain portions of the drive and we thought we were going to be in trouble!
So if you could tell your prospective clients that Mid March/Early April is still winter in Iceland, and that they should expect extreme weather...that would be great!
I know that it is on us to check/ be aware of the weather, but if you could advise too, when planning the trip, that will be great! I was expecting greenery everywhere and it definitely was not the case!
But overall, we had a fantastic time and looking forward to coming back and exploring the rest of iceland!

Our guide was super awesome and we had a great experience!
I am so happy that your trip was such a success, despite the weather, as you mentioned.
True, spring in Iceland doesn't really arrive until late April, and it's a good point that you raise that we should be clearer on that to our travellers. I have on quite a few occasions pointed this out to would-be travellers, but I have to admit it does sometimes slip my mind. I guess I'm just so used to the unpredictable arctic weather here haha.
I'm so happy you... Read more
