This was an incredible and action packed trip! Our family of four (two teenagers) had an amazing time. We followed Gummi’s recommendations and were not disappointed, from excellent restaurant picks to perfectly timed driving and touring information, he made the experience smooth. In just five days in Iceland, we visited two hot springs, a lava cave, ice cave, hiked up a glacier, rode Icelandic ponies, saw amazing waterfalls, geysers, canyons and more. Bonus, we even got to see some puffins, who had just returned to the area for the summer. Using Gummi’s guide made this trip so easy. We told him what we liked and he made everything happen smoothly. Even set up our rental car with WiFi so that everyone could connect without needing international cell service.

A more rustic hot spring than the Blue Lagoon. It was the perfect end to a long day.

Starts with a fun jeep ride from the lovely little town of Vik. Then you get to walk up a way towards a glacier and see these otherworldly ice formations. The ice melts and changes every day, so each tour is different. The guide kept everything fun and knew how to get the best photos.

One of the highlights of our trip. It may seem like a long drive, but it was worth it. We had a great time climbing up to the glacier and exploring. The guide, Kate, was so lovely and brought a perfect energy to our group.
