Iceland Travel Reviews

“We drove the Ring Road over 10 days and I still can't believe how beautiful it was. Skógafoss at midnight with golden light — that image will stay with me forever. The roads were easy to navigate and every campsite was spotlessly maintained. Iceland absolutely lives up to the hype.”

“Was lucky enough to see the lights four times during our 8-day trip. The guides from our tour company knew exactly where to go — we ended up watching the auroras reflect in a frozen lake outside Akureyri at 2am. Cold beyond belief, but absolutely worth every shiver.”

“From the Blue Lagoon to a private cottage in the Snæfellsnes peninsula — Iceland was the most romantic destination we could have chosen. People are incredibly friendly and the dramatic landscapes create a sense of adventure that really bonds you as a couple.”

“Completed the Laugavegur trail in 4 days — incredible scenery unlike anything in Europe. The coloured mountains at Landmannalaugar and the green valleys near Þórsmörk are ethereal. One day of storm forced us to stay in a hut, but that's part of the adventure. Prepare for all weather even in summer.”

“Travelled with a 7-year-old and a 10-year-old. Iceland was phenomenal — the whale watching, horse riding, swimming pools and waterfalls kept them fully entertained. Very safe, child-friendly facilities everywhere and hotel staff were amazing with the kids. Already planning to return.”

“Everyone focuses on the Golden Circle and south coast, but the eastern fjords took my breath away. Almost no other tourists, dramatic mountains right into the sea, and the most stunning remote roads I've ever driven. Egilsstaðir is a great base. Petrol was expensive but worth every drop.”
