Jul 13 - Jul 21, 2023
I started working with Jenny from KimKim a year ago to plan a trip to Iceland to celebrate my 50th birthday with four of my dearest friends. Jenny took special care to include all the activities and sights we wanted to see and do during our 9 day trip. Her planning and communication was flawless. We were able to navigate our way through the itinerary and had the best experiences with all the activities planned. This trip lived up to all my dreams and expectations, we couldn't have done it without Jenny's suggestions and thoughtful planning, no detail was left out. Everyone in our group commented on how they would use KimKim's services for their future travel plans.
We especially loved our first guesthouse Stundarfriour in the Snaefellnes Peninsula. This charming little guesthouse was the perfect way to spend our first days in Iceland. The staff was friendly and gracious, we were even greeted by a beautiful dog that roamed freely throughout the property. We had some of the best meals here and would come back to stay in the future.
Our excursions with Jokulsarlon Glacier Kayaking Adventure and the Solheimajokull Glacier Hike were once in a lifetime experiences that will hold a special place in our memories of this trip. Plume from the glacier kayaking experience was cheerful and made us feel comfortable, some members of our group had never kayaked before. Emmy from the glacier hike was knowledgable and taught us so much about glaciers and spoke about climate change. Seeing how climate change affects the glaciers firsthand is an experience that our whole group will continue to share with others.
Thank you Jenny for such a memorable trip and all your thoughtful planning.
Warmly,
Ann Gilbert

Activity Reviews
One of the best experiences I've ever had. Kayaking amongst glaciers in this beautiful and peaceful space is an experience that I will never forget. Plume, my guide was professional, easy going, and very knowledgeable. He eased the nervousness of a few of my group members that had zero kayaking experience.
We loved the whole experience of exploring a glacier. Our guide Emmy made it especially wonderful with her knowledge of glaciers and climate change. She went above and beyond to answer questions and ensured everyone was safe.
Bardi our guide was charming and sweet. We really enjoyed speaking with him and learned so much about Iceland's history and folklore. I would recommend this adventure to anyone that would like to speak with a local and learn about Iceland.
Hi Ann,
Thanks so much for the five stars! What a special trip we planed with you for your birthday. Thank for letting me be a part of it.
