“The weather was colder and windier than expected and they let us know so we could opt out if we wanted. We decided to do it anyway and it was still an adventure if not as warm as we were hoping.”

“Ontzettend gave ervaring gehad! Voor de tijd had het geregent dus het terrein was op sommige plekken lekker modderig. Onze gids had een fijn tempo en stopte af en toe om ons meer uitleg te geven over de natuur en het leven op IJsland. Echt een aanrader! ☺️”
