The entire trip was amazing. The itinerary set up very well. All of the tours and guides were fantastic. The glacier walk was very interesting and the kayaking beautiful. We especially enjoyed the whale watching trip. The guide and Captain were both exceptional and made it very fun. We loved how close we were able to get to the whales We were lucky to enjoy good weather on all the tour days as well. One of our favorite spots was the Við Lónið Guesthouse, and the town of Seyðisfjörður.

The only issue we encountered was the Torg GuestHouse. Once we got it, the room was so small that there was barely any space for our luggage or to walk around. There was also construction going on around the square so it just didn't have a good feel.

All the other hotels were great to nice and we enjoyed our stay at each - especially the ones that had pools to lounge in.
