Iceland Trip Review: Reykjavik, Diamond Beach, Blue Lagoon, Ice Cave, Glacier Hiking, Northern Lights Boat Ride, 1 Week

Iceland is beautiful and makes for the most unique and amazing vacation! Zicasso’s travel company arranged a breathtaking and comprehensive itinerary for our vacation. It included all the big, important stops like the Blue Lagoon, Northern Lights boat tour, and Hallgrimskirkja church. But our trip also took us all the way to the east side of the country to see Diamond Beach, a blue ice-cave tour, and a glacier hike. Our itinerary included all of the beautiful stops in between, so we saw waterfalls, volcanic formations, and museums.

We stayed in our lodge in Iceland to see the Northern Lights. Every hotel selected was cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. And the food was delicious everywhere. A surprising highlight was a tomato farm—a delicious meal in a beautiful restaurant inside the greenhouse! Their wine bar was even more beautiful!

This was our second trip through Zicasso and we are already starting to dream up the next destination...

Iceland Tour Review: Blue Lagoon, Glacier Adventure, Snowmobiling, Food Tour, Geothermal Bakery, Guides and Drivers, 5 Days

We experienced the most incredible adventure in Iceland, thanks to the detailed and thoughtful itinerary Zicasso’s travel specialist designed for us. From start to finish, we felt we were well taken care of and seeing and doing everything we possibly could to enjoy this unique country. The travel specialist really listened to what we were striving for and also provided spot-on suggestions.

From the Blue Lagoon to glacier adventures in a Super Jeep and snowmobiles, to a food tour and geothermal rye bakery tour, we experienced so much. More importantly, we were connected with the very best guides/driverscand our accommodations fit our family perfectly. All seven of us on this trip agreed it was one of the best trips we've ever taken and we hope to have the opportunity to go back.

I 100% would reconnect with the travel specialist again to plan future itineraries for us. In fact, we have family and friends who, after hearing about our experience, asked to be connected as well. We are so appreciative to have had this experience and now have fond memories to cherish.
