We had a fantastic trip to Iceland with KimKim's help. They were able to take our love of outdoors and different fitness levels into account so we both had a great time. As people who like traveling alone with a car, but wanted a break from all the trip planning they were a godsend with recommendations that matched our interests. Clear planning made for a smooth trip. The scenery was beautiful. We were outside all day almost everyday and then had very comfortable hotels to recover in. We look forward to having them help us with our next trip.

We would give the view 10 stars if we could. It felt like we were the only people in the world. 10 minutes into closest town where the grocery store has an excellent auto coffee machine if you want something more than drip coffee.

The water was very clear. There was a padded insulating layer to put on under the drysuit which was very helpful. A double layer of long underwear also helped. The staff were very knowledgeable and highly skilled.

Quality of Experience
The wet suit was not the most comfortable thing in the world, Wonderful views and had good time in the water.

Very interesting tour of caves. Very informative. No bathrooms on site, which is clearly marked by sign. Free bathrooms less than 5 minutes away at lighthouse museum. It wasn't a problem, but it was unexpected.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Barbara! I’m so happy to hear that you and Adam had an incredible time in Iceland. It sounds like you really made the most of the stunning landscapes and endless daylight. It was an absolute pleasure working with you both, and I'd love the opportunity to help plan another adventure in the future!
