Iceland Offbeat

Adam was incredibly helpful and the trip he planned was fantastic. We had some slight changes due to weather-no ones fault. However, Adam was always very quick to reply and provide us with an amazing plan B. He had fantastic communication and set up everything in a way that was convenient, streamlined, and easy to follow. Even in the initial planning stage, he worked very closely with us to provide the best trip possible, providing plenty of opportunities and great advice that was so incredibly helpful. Would love to work with Adam again!

As the other person in this trip I figured I should chime in as well. Adam was fantastic! We committed the cardinal sin of travel and didn’t research very much. It didn’t matter because Adam did that for us. He was on top of everything. Very easy to get a hold of and even helped while we were in our trip and had to make last minute changes due to weather. Adam was great. I’d work with him again! Thanks Adam!

This was our second trip planned through KimKim in 2024. As with the first, it was tailored to our interests and seamless! Working with Eric was again a pleasure, he offered various ideas and options for the itinerary and was responsive to questions and concerns.

The Geothermal Vok Baths

Iceland

The beauty of the baths are best appreciated with a little daylight - we arrived after dark, and were unable to visual the setting very well. This is not a criticism of the facility - we understand the concept of keeping artificial lighting to a minimum!

Quality of Experience

The natural setting, several pools and the quiet - other than a few loud guests, but they were just enjoying themselves.

Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Explained the process upon arrival.

Lisbet planned us an awesome trip!
My family and I had an amazing memorable experience - Iceland Ring Road Trip!
Amazing !
Thank you!

Lisbet planned us an AMAZING Iceland trip!! My family and I made incredible memories driving around Iceland and exploring such a beautiful country. I have absolutely no words for how perfect our trip went. Lisbet went above and beyond in planning our itinerary to specifically cater it to my family and I. She also added such amazing food and activity recommendations for our trip. All of our check ins for hotels and activities were seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better itinerary than the one Lisbet created for us, especially for our first time visiting Iceland. My family and I definitely have plans to return to Iceland soon and will be using KimKim again to plan our next adventure! Thank you to Lisbet and KimKim team for helping us create lasting memories!!

Our trip to Iceland was absolutely amazing, thanks to Adam and the KimKim team, who helped us plan the adventure of a lifetime. We embarked on a clockwise tour around Iceland, beginning with a few nights in Reykjavík. We enjoyed a fantastic food tour and a relaxing visit to the Sky Lagoon before setting off on our journey.

As we traveled north, we were in awe of Iceland's stunning landscapes—it's truly beyond words. One of the highlights was our Siberian Husky cart ride in Lake Mývatn with SnowDogs. Learning about the history of the area and the loving care given to these beautiful dogs was an incredible experience.

Continuing north, we loved our time at the Vök Baths and our stay at Hotel 1001 Nótt, which would be an ideal spot for viewing the Northern Lights—unfortunately, it was too overcast during our visit. Black Diamond Beach was an absolute must-see. Adam's recommendation to explore both the beach and the bay was invaluable, and seeing the icebergs on the shore was an unforgettable sight.

Hotel Vík was perfectly located and offered excellent amenities. Our final two excursions were incredible. The Katla Ice Cave Tour with our guide, Frederico, was fantastic—his knowledge of the ice caves, Iceland's history, and glaciers made us feel very comfortable and informed. The final highlight was snorkeling at Silfra. Wow—what a once-in-a-lifetime experience! It took a moment to adjust to the dry suits, but it was worth it.

We also spent a night at the Golden Circle Domes. While we expected a glamping experience, we forgot to inquire about heating and ran out of firewood in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the down comforters provided kept us warm, but if you stay there, be sure to grab extra firewood on your way.

Overall, this trip was a dream come true, and we highly recommend it!

Overall a wonderful experience; but my fun was inhibited by a very sore knee.

I would have preferred less stops and staying longer at a destination in order to explore the local area and relax a bit more.

Vik was really neat, but windy ! The hotel we stayed at was very nice and the landscape in the area was amazing.

The geodesic dome was less than impressive and I would not recommend that. Lack of heat caused me to get the chills several times over the evening, resulting in me getting a cold. Luckily the end of the trip!

Maybe a better reference for the summer.

The costs of everything was unexpected.; shame on me for not understanding that ahead of the trip. I must say that the food was better than anticipated !

We are so glad that we took the leap to use our very first travel agent! Duncan was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions even when we were in the midst of our trip. He took our initial itinerary and made it something that was both fun AND intentional. I had done months of research and was met with a busy season of life where I knew I needed someone with experience in Iceland to really nail things down for us. We truly felt like we got the best of both worlds: seeing as many amazing sights as possible with out wearing our selves out or spending too much time in the car. The peace of mind knowing that all of our lodging was to our standard and already fully booked added another layer of ease to our travels. If you are on the fence about weather or not this will be worth it I can almost guarantee it will be.

Krauma

Iceland

At first I was on the fence about a 6 pm booking but it lined up perfectly with that days drive & check in. We were the most relaxed we had ever been. Getting to watch the sun set while soaking in a geothermal pool was the cherry on top. We spent two hours there and left with dinner to go!

Whale Watching Tour

Reykjavík

It was incredible to be so close to such wild and beautiful animals. Even if we hadnt gotten to see any whales- being out on the open water and getting to see the city from a different point of view would have been worth it. The crew were very knowledgeable and had a lot of resources on board. I really appreciated the variety of seating options and look out points both indoor and outdoor.
