5.00I am a female and decided to do a solo trip to explore Iceland and stumbled across Hikers of Iceland. It was perfect because I enjoy doing the non-typical touristic activities and that's what they are all about. The day was incredible and got to relax in the hot spring! Bonus: I got to learn how to do orienteering which was fun! Thank you Roberto for making this trip memorable and for sharing a lot of interesting facts about the places and the country. Can't wait to return again!
