Most incredible trip ever! I wanted to plan this trip right … an unforgettable 7 days in Iceland with my family. It was daunting. And then I found Noga at KimKim. Wow! Wow! Wow! Our trip was flawless. From the perfectly planned itinerary that catered to our interests, to extra tips along the way and details I didn’t realize I’d need to know, to the easy messaging app and phone calls we had to make sure we had everything perfect and could ask questions … perfection. All of our scheduled events and hotels were also flawless. The team reached out to us while on our trip to check in and to even alert us of an erupting volcano that was happening on the island but researched and reassured us that it wouldn’t be affecting our itinerary and flights home. I would 100% recommend KimKim and Noga’s expertise to plan a trip to Iceland.

Cute little hotel. Could use fans in the rooms, but aside from that it was great!

Beautiful spot to rest our heads. Lots of space and had all the amenities we needed. Right across the street from a grocery store and shopping.

Such a beautiful location. It’s truly in the middle of nowhere. The decor and design of the hotel was stunning. The hot tubs and sauna with a view were an excellent touch.

Very cool view. Our GPS said the cafe in Hellnar was closed, so we didn’t hike the whole was because that was going to be our stopping point.

Wasn’t expecting the trek out to see the seals … took forever to maneuver on the rocks during low tide. There weren’t many seals. If we’d skipped anything on our trip, it would have been this one.

Very cool tour. My kids were dreading this one, but by the end they were glad we’d done it. Our tour guide was great. Wish he’d added info on how to figure out how to say some of the language and also the folklore around trolls and elves.
