“This was an absolutely unforgettable adventure! In my opinion, the best way to experience Iceland in the winter. Having Olie, our very skilled tour guide, navigate the terrible icy roads was reason enough to use this tour. We had a small group of 10 and each was a delight to spend a few days discovering Iceland with. The waterfalls, the geyser, the snow, the atmosphere, all of it was top notch. Our number one fave- the glacier hike with ice cave. ASTOUNDING. There was such a feeling of rare sacredness getting to hike along such a massive and beautiful feat of nature. Iceland is beautiful, rugged, violent, brutal and WILD.…”
