Iceland Reviews

Iceland is one of the worlds best kept secrets. Stunning scenery that words simply can’t describe. Flying in to Keflavik over the lava fields reminded me of Lanzarote, only these lava fields are far more weathered, and moss and lichen have covered the rocks unlike the jet black basalt of the Spanish island. In a country with a ...  Read the complete review

My visit to Iceland lasted a week in October of 2002 and was organized through my school. I thought that not only would a holiday with all of my friends be a great way to relax before the stress of year 10 GCSE syllabus kicked into full swing but also a great learning experience as a studier of GCSE geography. The trip set me (or my ...  Read the complete review

This is my personal top 10 and I'm sure many people will disagree both with the content and the order. 1. Jokulsarlon - Southern Iceland. The name means Glacial River Lagoon. It is formed by glacial retreat and is several miles long and wide. You can hear ice breaking off the glacier and see icebergs floating through the lagoon and ...  Read the complete review

We were looking for the Ice House Hotel, thinking it would be in Iceland and stumbled across the idea of going to Iceland on holiday. Most people thought we were mad, as Iceland is not high on most people?s list of holiday destinations but IT SHOULD BE. Iceland is great to escape the fast capitalist life styles we tend to lead. The main ...  Read the complete review

When looking for a destination for a company 'bonus trip' Iceland was one of the first places on everybody's lips. It's one of those places that most people say they would love to visit but never actually get round to it. From what we had heard prior to departure it would be a great place for a group trip or stag do, perhaps with ...  Read the complete review

OK, I haven't been everywhere but Iceland must be the best travel experience so far. I drove all the way round the 'ring road' in a Nissan Micra over two weeks. The usual guidebooks are very good at giving all the details so here's a quick list of the best bits... 1. The Snaefellsness peninsular is dramatic, weird ...  Read the complete review

The landscape is wild, rugged and colourful, with black lava, red sulphur, hot blue geysers, rivers, waterfalls and green valleys. Its coastline is richly indented with bays and fjords. More than half the population lives in or around Reykjavík, the capital. Iceland is ...  Read the complete review

A week staying in youth hostels with my parents, younger siblings... and visiting places with the most unpronounceable names imaginable. Gee, that sounds like a great summer holiday.. or so I didn't think. But Iceland was actually one of the best holidays that I've ever had - honest! During our trip we drove around the whole ...  Read the complete review

Whenever I tell my friends that I've just been to Iceland some wisecrack always says something like "did you get some pizzas then?" Anyway we have just been to the country of Iceland for a weeks visit over the May bank holiday and it was quite an experience. We travelled from Heathrow, although you can fly from Glasgow and ...  Read the complete review

There has never been a better time to go to Iceland as Reykjavik is currently in party-mode, celebrating its status as European City of Culture (seriously!). As part of this revelry, the city has launched a programme of over 200 events with the theme 'Culture and Nature'. There will be an explosion of fashion, art, dance and ...  Read the complete review

"Hey, lover, let's go to a small volcano crater near the artic circle!!" Of course, how logical. Two years ago, my girlfriend and I decided that the best thing to do on the way for a 5 day break in New York was to spend another 5 days visiting slightly mad pixies in Iceland. Icelandair's flights to New York are only ...  Read the complete review
