Erling was amazing. We saw all the amazing parts of Iceland and stayed in 3 excellent hotels. Our New Years Eve hotel room was amazing and right near the downtown fireworks. All the hotel managers knew Erling and we had the best views from our rooms. Our guide - Kristjian was great and the kids loved his "Monster Truck". Amazing... More

Our one-week experience with Iceland Encounter in late June confirms the rave reviews they have been getting. We were a party of 4, ages ranging from 16 to 80, and our guide Erling, a co-owner of the company, adapted their Glaciers & Waterfalls tour to our interests and capabilities. Our adventures included hiking among hot springs and above waterfalls, rafting,... More

There are not enough words to express how great our trip was. Erling and company did a wonderful job planning and organizing our itinerary. Upon landing we went to the Blue Lagoon which helped us relax after 2 flights. We spent the rest of the day wandering around Reykjavik. The next day, we were picked up promptly at the hotel... More

This is the way to see Iceland! We spent 5 days in Iceland celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. IE created a vacation including a three day tour of Southern Iceland for just the two of us with a guide and took care of reserving hotels, arranging for transportation to and from the airport and the Blue Lagoon. When we arrived... More

I will echo what others have already stated: Iceland is very well suited for private touring, especially if you are going inland off of the main Ring Road. We had one week in Iceland, and did the Glaciers and Waterfalls tour. Erling was very helpful and responded to my e-mails in a timely manner. He took care of us and... More

One of the best trips ever. Gilli, our guide, met us the first morning at the Icelander Hotel Marina in Reykjavik. Off we went (6 of us - 2 grandmothers, 2 parents, and 2 kids age 12 and 15) for seven days in a comfortable van for a leisurely drive to sites based on our interests - sea birds, glaciers,... More

I am a hard working travel agent who has worked with many tour operators and Iceland Encounters is at the top of my list. They got my clients hotel rooms in Reykjavik when I was unable to find any space at all for this June. No detail was too small ;such as giving us restaurant suggestions and then making the... More

We spent three days on Superjeep tours we booked through Iceland Encounter, and they were the unqualified highlight of our trip to Iceland. On the first day we toured with one of the owners, Erling, and on the other two days with another guide, Ingi. Both were excellent guides and drivers. With Erling we toured The Golden Circle. He was... More

I booked a private 1 day tour of the south coast with Iceland Encounters the week before Christmas and would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again next time we are in Iceland. Kristin was super quick at responding to my initial response and really helpful suggesting what do/see etc. (all I knew was that I wanted to... More
