Summary: Great trip lots to see and do. Everything that was promised and more. Plenty of time to explore and visit at each of the stops. Regular comfort breaks & chance to stock up on food & drink. The beauty of the Snæfellsnes peninsula was incredible and like most of Iceland so quiet and peaceful. The beach at Djúpalónssandur was a particular highlight. Just epic the waves the noise the view. Bartosz our tour guide was an absolute star. Very knowledgable about not just the tour but Iceland in general. Always happy to chat and full of fun facts. Dziękuję Bart. Thanks for a great day out.
