Best Tour Company hands down and hidden gem of Iceland! Using Icelimo was by far the best way to see all of the must see sights of Iceland as well as the hidden gems. From the first moment I spoke with Ryan of Icelimo regarding our family trip until the last interaction we as a family had with our guide Anna was in all ways treasured moments.

HIGHLIGHTS OF SOUTH WEST COAST OF ICELAND IN A DAY. Experience both Highlights of the Golden Circle and South coast all in a days work.
LINEUP OF DAY
The day begins with a drive through Nesjavellir high temperature area, seeing the magnificent landscape on a mountain road with an overview of lake Þingvallavatn and Nesjavellir power plant in the mountains.We drive towards the national park towards our next destination, Alþingi, which is the oldest parliament in the world and was established 930 AD. At Thingvellir we have a presentation of the historical significance of the area and then we will take a walk between the Eurasian and North-American tectonic plates along the famous drowning pool and Silfra; which is a wishing well where we will test our luck.
We continue the tour through the national park towards the Laugarvatn hot lake and from there towards the Geyser area, the famous hot springs; where we will take a walk through this high temperature area where one of them, named Strokkur, erupts every few minutes and is a perfect Kodak moment of Iceland.
Our next stop is at Gullfoss, or the Golden waterfalls, which is among Iceland’s most spectacular ones.We then head to the beautiful waterfall called Seljalandsfoss. We will have an option of walking behind the waterfall. We then drive towards the valley of the Thors to view the eruption site of Eyjafjallajökull and we will also show you a beautiful cave with a waterfall inside.
After we have enjoyed this location we will head out to the other side of the Glacier of Eyjafjallajökull and meet a farmer that lives under this big volcano of Eyjafjallajökull. At Þorvaldseyri you get to know the true spirit of a local Icelander as when most people think about the devastation from the volcanic eruption he thinks about opportunities and positive angles. Our next stop will be a spectacular 60-meter-high waterfall called Skógarfoss.

Here are useful information about Iceland.
Weather
Iceland is not considered a warm place by any normal standards, but thanks to the Gulf Stream temperatures are usually moderate all year round. Average temperatures in July are usually about 12 °C in Reykjavik and it is usually a bit warmer in the North and East of Iceland. It doesn’t snow as much in Iceland as many people think, especially in Reykjavik where there is usually very little snow to be seen, even during winter. However in the north and east of Iceland and the West Fjords, there is more snow during winter. A big factor in Icelandic weather is that it is unpredictable; you never know what is going to happen next. A beautiful day can suddenly turn windy and rainy (and vice versa), and you can expect to see every weather imaginable in a couple of days in Iceland, especially in late autumn and early spring.

History
The first people believed to have settled in Iceland were Irish monks who came in the eight century AD. They left, however, upon the arrival of pagan Norsemen, who came in 874 to seek freedom from Norway’s oppressive king Harald Fairhair. In 930 the Icelanders founded the Althingi, their supreme general assembly – the oldest parliament in the world. Christianity was adopted in the year 1000. In 1262, Iceland became subject to Norwegian control and in 1380 came under Danish control, along with Norway. After the granting of a constitution (1874) and with an improving economy, Iceland, in 1918, finally became an independent sovereign state under a common king with Denmark. The Republic of Iceland was formally declared on June 17, 1944.The Icelanders
Are quite Scandinavian, exceptionally friendly, highly educated, sophisticated, attractive, honest and very modern. Their ancestors were predominately Norwegian, although some came from the British Isles.
Languages in Iceland
The country’s written and spoken language is Icelandic, a Nordic language very similar to the language spoken by Iceland’s first settlers. Icelandic is one of the oldest living languages in Europe. English and Danish are mandatory subjects in school.
Most Icelanders speak fluent English. In fact, they welcome the opportunity – so never be shy about approaching an Icelander.
The Icelandic Population
The Icelandic population was 319.368 the first of January 2009, there are about 4 times that many sheep in Iceland. Iceland is the least populated country in Europe (seventh in the world). Most of the people are of Norwegian descent, with some admixture of Celtic blood from those who came from Ireland and the Scottish islands from the time of settlement.
Monetary unit
The Icelandic monetary unit is the “krona” (plural “kronur”) (ISK).
Coins are in denominations of: 100 kr, 50 kr, 10 kr, 5 kr, 1 kr.
Bank notes are in denominations of: 5000 kr, 2000 kr, 1000 kr, 500 kr.
