I was the only one wearing a westsuit to everyone else’s dry suit and I was kept pretty warm, except my feet. Going in January we were super lucky to not see too many people (well actually we had the whole place to ourselves, and we even had some sun!) I’m sorry I didn’t get our guides name but she was from Poland and so cool! Thanks! This mermaid really enjoyed herself!”

Bjarni is an exceptional guide - extremely knowledgeable about history and folklore. He was prompt picking us up, his vehicle was very clean and comfortable, and he's obviously a competent driver on the road - we relaxed and enjoyed while he took care of the driving! He stayed aware of the weather as we were touring and stayed ahead of the tour buses to enable us to see more of the sights. He also stopped at places…”
