Is this trip right for you?
verified
Iceland can be very cold at any time of year, so it's important to bring appropriate clothing. On the rare occasion that your leader has to alter the itinerary due to adverse weather, alternative activities will be offered.
verified
Many locations on this itinerary are remote, which means a few long drives of around 6 hours. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the scenery and spend some time getting to know your fellow travellers. Of course, you will stop frequently for photo opportunities.

We travelled to Iceland for the premium tour. The eight days simply vanished, amongst lava fields, waterfalls, snow, mountains, fields, amazing food and excellent accommodation. Simply wonderful!

IF your want to see Icelan in depth, without the stress of driving and finding accomodation and booking tours, Intrepid is definately the choice I would recommend. If you want to come home from Iceland with a greater knowledge and appreciation of the place you have been, Intrepid will provide that in spades. A wonderful accomodating guide, extremely knowledgeable, and a good person Intrepid will not disappoint.

I highly suggest taking the tour with 1-12 people. That way, you don't have to wait for crowds of people to return to the bus. There's always the chance to add stops, if time permits. Our group really wanted to see the Puffins and our guide made that happen for us. Our guide Larus was kind, caring and VERY knowledgeable. I was travelling with my 82 year old mom and he made sure that she was taken care of at each location and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Iceland was a wonder to visit, with volcanic scenery, glaciers, icebergs and wonderful landscape. The tour leader/guide was well organized and had a wealth of knowledge about the history, geography and culture of Iceland. One of the best trips I've taken.

This was one of the best group trips I've ever been on. Iceland is a magical place and our itinerary covered so much of it. Our tour leader, Kristjan was knowledgeable, organized and had a deep personal relationship with so many places we visited that made this trip truly special. Our small band of merry travelers all got along and helped each other along the way.
