Gummi helped us plan an excellent trip, especially considering we had very specific travel dates and didn't get started until about 8 weeks before our departure. Gummi perfectly matched the interests and activity levels for our group of two parents with two adult children. Every day was full, but manageable, and well planned. When small bumps occurred, Gummi and his office were immediately available to work things out. We thoroughly enjoyed everything on the intinerary, but highlights for us were the kayaking among the icebergs in Heinabergslón, snorkeling and Silfra and the Husafell Canyon Baths. This is my second trip booked through Kimkim would definitely use them again

Fun but cloudy skies for us. A big plus was the location near Mika, our favorite restaurant on the trip.

We loved the scenic and private location with a small group of 7 - and when we showed up early they were happy to accommodate us on an early visit.

A very special experience with Briosh, who was an excellent guide and urged us to take our time.

It's not just the cave, but the adventure getting there. Our guide took the time to let us stop at the black sand desert on the way to the glacier cave.

This was actually the Glacier Kayak Adventure at Heinabergslón, which was wonderful. Only one kayaking group goes out at a time - very magical especially after seeing the larger groups/more activity at Jokulsarlon. Our guides were excellent and the kayaking was not difficult.

My adult children did this activity while we did the glacier hike. They had a fantastic time and said their guide Eduardo was excellent.

My husband and I did this hike while our adult children did ice climbing. It was a good activity, but overlapped with some of the earlier activities on the trip (ice cave, glacier kayaking). It was great we could do this at the same time the kids did the ice climbing.

Thank you for the kind review Beth
I am so happy you took my advice and stopped at Mika, I'm not surprised to hear that it was your favorite restaurant on your trip. Their food is amazing!

All the best and hope to see you in Iceland soon again :)
