Most Inspirational Moment
There were a number...
a double rainbow over one of the waterfalls, walking on a glacier (complete with ice axe and crampons), the brilliant ice blue and white of the lagoon with seals basking in the sun, getting soaked by an unusually large spurt from the geyser, the meals out with the complete group. Scanning the skies on the rooftop on the hope of seeing the Northern Lights.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Petur was totally brilliant. He certainly went the extra mile for our group. Arranging meals for us - and then joining us to eat with us. Taking us on unscheduled 'detours' to show us even more of his beautiful country. He was extremely knowledgeable about Iceland, the history, the people the geology, the landscape and he delivered his knowledge with a sense of humour. He managed the perfect balance of narrating the tour but giving us space and peace to enjoy it for ourselves..
There was a lot to fit in so he was also very good (in the very nicest way) at keeping us 'on schedule' for our various stops. Thank you so much Petur.
Advice for Potential Travellers
There is so much more to see in Iceland than the Northern Lights. Sadly we didn't see them on this trip but I had a truly amazing time and I would recommend this trip to anyone who has a love of the 'great outdoors' and the natural world.
Suggestions
Being in a small group meant that arrivals and departures at hotels and the various sights were manageable.
It was very worthwhile to travel across to the black beach and Jokulsson.
