Travel Review: Family Trip to Iceland, Jokularsson, Vik, Blue Lagoon, Glymur Hike

1. Our guide was awesome - attentive, thoughtful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time!  His set-up was very professional and we really enjoyed the challenging Glymur hike, the underground cave and the Golden Circle tour with him.  Lunch at the tomato hothouse was fantastic!

2. Blue Lagoon went really well - I think the exclusive package was a great call because it gave us the right amount of privacy.  In retrospect, if we had the time we should have gone in at 9 or 10 and ended with lunch or gone in around 3 or 4 and ended with dinner but we had time constraints.

3. Our South Iceland add-on was spectacularly beautiful - loved the waterfalls and the beach at Vik.  

4. Jokularsson - flying out was a good idea because it gave us a bird's eye view of the glacier.  

5. Accommodations - we liked Hotel Glymur and appreciated the 2 bathrooms and they had a very good breakfast.  Our second hotel was very nice and convenient - I do wish the designers had at least added a powder bath to the deluxe suites.
