Most Inspirational Moment
Jokulsarlon Lagoon at dusk was wonderful. No Northern Lights :( Will just have to go back!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Organised, very good local knowledge, good sense of humour. He had to re-organise some visits because of the horrible weather we had for a day which left us marooned in our hotel for nearly 24 hours - all part of the adventure! Sometimes I wished we had been given a bit more information on what was happening the next day and what we needed to have with us.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I was really glad that I arrived a day early (not planned, but as I flew from Edinburgh I had to go Tuesday rather than Wednesday). I was able to spend a day in Reykjavik which wasn't part of the tour - but I think it should be! Take warm trousers and waterproofs! The weather can change in an instant from very cold and sunny to up to 120mph gusts and rain! The first hotel website (Klettur) suggests that the rooms don't all free WiFi but they do.
Suggestions
This is a great trip to see a lot of sights in a short space of time, together with a great guide with good local knowledge. It would have been good to know that 2 others were arriving on the Tuesday - we could have looked around Reykjavik together rather than all doing our own thing. Next time I will ask. It wasn't easy finding somewhere to eat the first night on my own as the hotel was surrounded by building sites. It would have been good if the hotel had had a restaurant.
