    Great private tour. Personalized tour

    Gary_K, Aug 2025
    Elizabeth took my wife and myself on a hike up to an old mine and then over a pass in the mountains to another valley and the ocean. Learned a lot about the area and living here in Iceland. Much information about her life here and the area.

    Thank you for joining our Peaks and Mines tour Gary! 🌿 Happy to hear you enjoyed your private hike with Elizabeth and the chance to explore the Westfjords with a local guide. It was a real pleasure to share this adventure with you — we’d love to welcome you back again one day! Elizabeth

    Our guide, Evelyn, was very friendly and informative throughout the excursion. The hike to the mine was beautiful. It was a moderate hike with beautiful views along the way. Bolafjall was breathtaking. The drive up to the top was exciting with massive views. At the top the observation deck was outstanding and afforded beautiful long range views. The excursion was unique in that we were a small group and could really enjoy ourselves at our own pace.

    Thank you for the kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed the hike, the views at Bolafjall, and the time with Evelina. Keeping the group small makes it feel more like exploring with friends, and it’s wonderful to hear that you felt that too. Evelina

    Hiking in Iceland with rainbows

    The hike is fairly strenuous but beautiful and doable for us 70 year olds. The view from the Coast Guard station was absolutely stunning. Our guide was delightful and fun.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    So glad you enjoyed the hike and the views Yvonne! We are happy being in small groups and flexible. Sometimes those unexpected stops that end up are the most special — happy you got to experience that.

    Absolutely, must do this!

    This tour is fantastic!! Orla and Justas are the most knowledgeable, sincere people! My family learned all about the Icelandic ways, witnessed the most incredible scenery and will never forget this experience. The caves, waterfalls, and lookout area are a must do!!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you Jolie! We're so glad you and your family had a great time—was such a joy showing you around! Hope the memories of the mines, waterfalls, and views stay with you for a long time!
