It was so great to work with Alicia. She was so helpful and very responsive! I recommend doing a lot of your own research too so you can feel confident adjusting your plan if needed. I also recommend training ahead of time if you plan on hiking a lot. The elevation is a bear! 10 days was a great amount of time for our trip but would have loved maybe 2 more days. We rented a 4x4 and explored the golden circle and down to the south.
This was the greatest trip of my 50 years!
Hotel Reviews
The hotel was under construction when we stayed there. It’s a little small, but I think the construction will help. The walk down to the private beach is incredible. Perfect location to explore the area!
Spring for the retreat blue lagoon package and a lagoon room! So worth it.
This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at! We had a superior room. It was hands-down the nicest room I’ve ever stayed in. The design of the hotel is wide open and airy, floor to ceiling windows to take the view. Lots and lots of seating areas, beautiful breakfast buffet and fantastic bar menu. I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich. The sheep wandering around the hotel grounds was so appreciated and charming. The outdoor bathing experience was perfect. If only they had a spa!!
Spring for the nicer room with a view!
Activity Reviews
Wild and beautiful. A true Icelandic experience.
The blue Lagoon is better. The experience is the same.
A great adventure! The guides were so amazing. Particularly Anya.
The puffin tour was hands down one of the best things!! The guide was super knowledgeable and third generation. They started as sheep farmers and now run these tours. Really cool tractor ride out to the island and fun walk up the black sand dune. Once up to the grassy part of the island you are not prepared for what you see! 100’s of puffin flying, building nests just hopping around. You can get so close to them they aren’t afraid of you unless you make fast movements. We were really lucky with the weather just a little rain to keep them close to home but not enough to send them into their nests. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
