We had a great trip and Gummi was amazing. All of the tours that Gummi booked for us were wonderful and we felt very well taken care of during the entire trip. Gummi was very responsive to all of our questions and would send us updates on Northern Lights every night. I would definatley use KimKim again and would recommend Gummi to anyone looking to visit Iceland.
Hotel Reviews
This hotel was great. The location is close to shops and has easy access to food and shopping. The room was very nice and the breakfast they included was wonderful. Would recommend this hotel.
This hotel was great and located right next to the black church and to hiking trails to the sea. It is located in an isolated spot so hard to go somewhere for dinner easily. The room was a little small but did have a nice window for checking on the Norther Lights. Dinner was good but pricey.
This hotel is located with awesome views of the lake. The hotel was very comfortable and the included breakfast was one of the best we had on the entire trip. We ate both nights at the restaraunt which had great food. Was a little understaff with one person for most of the restaraunt but she did a great job. Hotel has a great bar and just feel very cozy and nice. Our favorite hotel of the entire trip. Desk staff were amazing. We needed assistance with a medical issue and they assisted and even made calls to help us. Would highlyt recommend this hotel it was wonderful.
This is a very nice hotel. The room was great and it is right in a small town. The grow some of their food so there is a greenhouse next to it which is always on. The light made it hard for seeing any nothern lights (would not be an issue during the summer). Staff was great and location is nice. Would recommend this hotel for a visit.
This was a great hotel. We had hot tub at end of our building and it was easy to access. This place is great for Northern Lights due to low light polution. We were eating dinner and staff came around to say that the Northern Lights could be seen outside. They also have a system where they will call you if Aurora is see outside and this was helpful for us to see them. Restaraunt is great and the included breakfast was stellar. Would recommend to anyone.
This hotel is a great location. The hotel overlooks the Black Sand Beach and the view is wonderful. You can walk to the Black Sand Beach from your room. The rooms are spacious and had a small kitchenette which was nice. There is not restaraunt on site but Vik is just 10 minutes away. I recommend the Black Pizza as it was great. The hotel does offer coffee and pastries for purchase at the main house.
Activity Reviews
Riding the horses was great and the farm owners were so nice and told us so much about the Icelandic horse. These horses are so fun to ride and you really get to get close to them and help get them ready to ride. The bread and hot chocolate after were great. Bread is baked in a geothermal oven and is the recipe of the owner. There were only two of us on the tour so that was really nice. Advantage of going in the winter but it was cold.
This was a nice experience. Our guide was nice, funny, and very informative. The water is warm and the view are very nice. We did this in the winter so it was dark and hard to see. Would be nice to have more lighting on the walking paths but remote and keeps to nature so that is nice. Great place especially if the Aurora is on display. Unfortunately no Aurora for us but great trip all together.
This was a nice idea but was not my favorite. You have to get set up in a dry suit to stay dry and warm. This was helpful but it was so tight and uncomfortable. If I had know how uncomfortable I would be in the suit I might have decided not to go. Many of the others did okay with the suits so could just be me. Also be prepared to be cold if you are going in the winter because it is cold. Also there are no fish really to see and it is just rocks. The promotional pictures make it look better than it was. Might be a better thing to do in the summer. The guides were great and very helpful.
This was great as we got to walk on the glacier. Our guide was great and we were not too big of a group which was nice. It was great to go up and down the glacier. We also were on the glacier for sunset with a clear sky which was amazing.
This was great. There were only two of us with the guide which was great. Our guide Siggi was nice, informative, fun, and great all around. We were able to drive on the glacier allowing us to see caves away from the crowds. We were able to see three differnt caves and was a great. Seeing the Glaicer lagoon before and dimond beach after made the trip that much more amazing. Food truck are in the lot to eat before or after. Highly recommend the fish and chips and the langostine roll they were amazing. This was great trip and one of our favorites.
Thank you so much for the great review, I'm really happy all went well and that you enjoyed the trip so much!
I do hope we'll see you in Iceland soon again, maybe for a summer trip :)
