Northern Lights Escape

Our Iceland trip with Stefan exceeded all of our expectations--and we went in with very high expectations. Everything was well organized and well executed. The scenery is beyond description. But what really makes a trip successful is the people. Our tour guide, Stefan, was exceptional and the others in our tour group were fun and considerate. The trip could not have been better. The Northern Lights were our primary reason for the trip. We saw the lights and so much more. On a scale of 1-5, I give this trip and our guide Stefan a 10.

The March Northern Lights Tour did not disappoint. From seeing the Northern Lights on the first night out, to beautiful ice rocks at Diamond Beach, the black sand of Black Sand Beach, stunning waterfalls, hiking an ice cave, and so much more, this was a wonderful tour of the Southern area of Iceland. I would highly recommend using Intrepid for tours. The small group number made it much more enjoyable. I only wish Stefan could be the tour guide on all your tours. He was knowledgeable, organized, accessible and just plain fun to hang out with.

The trip overall was excellent, Margret was fantastic - great local knowledge, very entertaining and made the trip so enjoyable. We were able to see the main highlights of Iceland in a relatively short time without feeling rushed. Hiking into a glacier cave, visiting beautiful waterfalls and staying in locally run guesthouses made this trip very special.

This trip was absolutely incredible! Our tour guide Margret was the best - she was so knowledgeable about the country and its history, and her pleasant and witty personality made the trip even more enjoyable. The transport was perfect with USB charging facilities and wifi. We saw so much of Iceland, from the stunning waterfalls to the impressive geysers and the highlight of the trip - a glacier hike. There was never a dull moment and we always had plenty of opportunities to stop for snacks and drinks. The accommodation we stayed in was perfect, and we were even lucky enough to see the northern lights. This was my first solo traveling tour, the entire experience was seamless and stress-free, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the beauty of Iceland. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. Thank you, Intrepid, for an amazing experience!

Our tour guide Margret really made this trip special with her great organising and good sense of humour. Trip highlights included ice cave, glacier walk and glacier lagoon as well as countless waterfalls and beaches along the way. We were also fortunate to see the Northern Lights multiple times.
