Great Experience

Iceland | Sep 5 - Sep 16, 2026

Nice hotel with very good service. Breakfast was excellent.

Very nice hotel and staff was very friendly and helpful.

Hotel was very nice and staff was very nice.

Very nice hotel and good location for the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and the town.

The hotel was very nice, with excellent rooms and an outstanding selection of breakfast options.

First‑class hotel, and we had a wonderful experience with the staff. The owner was onsite and always greeted us warmly whenever we crossed paths. Highly recommend this hotel for other visitors.

Nice hotel in a very convenient location for anyone catching an early flight. We didn’t spend much time there since we checked in, slept, and headed to the airport first thing in the morning, but it served our needs perfectly.

Did not visit.

This excursion was cancelled.

We really enjoyed visiting all the sites recommended on the Geological Wonders of Lake Mývatn tour. The Grjótagjá Cave was a bit underwhelming, but everything else was fantastic. I highly recommend bringing head nets—the midges can be overwhelming. A friend suggested this before our trip, and my wife and I were very glad we listened.

Dettifoss and Selfoss were truly remarkable, and I would strongly recommend them to future visitors.

We just stopped for a few minutes along our route that day so not really able to give it a fair review.

Very nice small village and we did not explore it much as we got in later that day. Nice location for an evening.

The Skógafoss waterfall is definitely worth a stop—its power and beauty make it a memorable visit.

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and I highly recommend it to future visitors. It was incredible to experience remote parts of Iceland that are only accessible by 4WD. Our guide, Lilly, was excellent.

The whale‑watching safari was a bit of a disappointment, as we only saw a couple of whales briefly surface far off in the distance. Still, we understand that with tours like this, sightings are never guaranteed. The tour group and the boat was good though.

I’m really glad we stopped to explore the sod homes. Buying tickets to go inside made the visit far more meaningful and was well worth the time and money.

Did not visit this site.

We truly enjoyed our one‑day stay in Reykjavík. It’s a vibrant, walkable city, and I’d recommend that any traveler to Iceland spend at least a day taking it in.

We didn’t do the entire cliff walk from Arnarstapi to Hellnar, but starting from Arnarstapi was wonderful. Even a partial hike offers gorgeous coastal views, making it a stop well worth your time.

I’d rate this stop as fairly average and wouldn’t recommend going far out of your way to see it. That said, the south part of the canyon was genuinely striking—very cool formations and beautiful scenery—so it’s worth visiting if you’re already nearby.

We really enjoyed our stay in Akureyri, and I recommend that anyone doing the Ring Road spend at least one night here to explore the city.

Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach are must‑see stops for any visitor. I highly recommend visiting both the lagoon and the beach—the glaciers and drifting icebergs are stunning, and walking down to Diamond Beach is absolutely worth it. We planned to take the Zodiac tour, but high winds caused it to be cancelled.

Stuðlagil Canyon was certainly worth the visit, and I would highly recommend it to future travelers. The basalt column formations were remarkably striking.

We really enjoyed our stay in this village. I highly recommend that future visitors base themselves here when exploring Eastern Iceland.

Did not visit the Gardens.

We just stopped for a few minutes, and it was perfectly fine for a quick visit.

Did not stop to explore as it was raining really hard and very windy. Was bummed the weather was poor that afternoon and not able to spend more time there.

Did not visit.

We appreciated our visit and would recommend it to fellow travelers.

Hengifoss and Litlanesfoss were definitely worth the stop, and the hike itself was incredibly scenic as you make your way toward Hengifoss.

Vestrahorn Mountain was nice to see, but the black‑sand beaches—with their dunes and tufts of grass—were the real highlight.

Did not visit as Noga indicated the columns had a lot or erosion this past spring, plus the weather was not good that day with heavy wind and rain.

The cave is right along the route, making it an easy stop as you explore the area, but in my opinion it’s not particularly memorable and could be skipped without missing much.

If it’s already on your route, it’s worth a quick stop, but in my opinion it doesn’t stand out the way the other waterfalls we visited did.

A quick visit, and it was fine.

The tour was cancelled due to high winds.

Skógafoss is definitely worth the stop, and the sheer power of the waterfall is very cool to witness in person.
