We have had two great trips to Iceland thanks to Kimkim and our local expert, Rinolda! For this trip, I contacted Kimkim through the website and got timely call back from an agent. She listened to my requests and reconnected me with Rinolda.

Working with Rinolda again made our second trip to Iceland unique. She suggested two itineraries. We chose to travel the complete Rung Road. Rinolda took the time to ask if there were specific places we wanted to visit and things we wanted to do. She then put together a trip for us that took us to different places as well as locations we wanted to see in the summer.

Once we were in Iceland, Rinolda reached out to us each day. She answered our questions quickly . One day she found us a new restaurant to try. All the hotels and activities were booked for us. There is a Tip Summary that has all the information needed in one place. Each day included a Driving Plan that ran on Google maps.

Our sincere thanks to Rinolda for being our guide to Iceland.

This hotel immerses you in the landscape! It is out by itself and the architecture makes it if right into the lava fields. Great restaurant.

Árnanes Country Hotel
Höfn

This is a family run hotel which is quite nice. The rooms were comfortable. We felt like we were staying in a cabin. Once the rain cleared, the views were expansive with the ocean in the distance. The restaurant was open for breakfast only. What they offered was good, but there were limited choices.

Great experience. I did have difficulty getting on the horse. The staff worked with me until I was u and ready to ride. My horse knew what to do without much help.
