ICELAND & FAROE ISLANDS! Last spot on the Scenic Summer Adventure 🛥️! A Road Trip across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe`s last Frontiers. [June/July 2025]
𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬! 👋👩🏻🦰 My name is Maria and I am looking for adventurers who love the wild, cold, rough, and untouched nature! Let's explore Iceland and Faroe Island on a cool combination summer trip together 🌠! 🛥️𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐥🛥️! 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓 I have been to Iceland five times now - but I honestly just stopped counting by now ;-). Thrice on my own, on a JMT trip in September 2023 and November 2024! We will unveil some of the coolest places of South Iceland and explore seven of the major islands of the Faeroes. It has always been a dream of mine to explore the Faeroe Islands at some point as well. Our road trip takes us to places Instagram-able and loved by all photographers and photo amateurs alike, we go on incredible hikes and enjoy many beautiful panoramic vistas and indulge into a yummy skyr cake in a cozy cafe. Along the way, there are unique sights, lagoons and tours planned, such as hiking a UNESCO site between two tectonic plates, sightseeing in real water caves and visiting the famous black beaches of Iceland. We will cover all the stops as seen on the map below and might go some extra mile for more. I try to arrange a bigger van for our group with enough space for people and luggage. But if we have to drive two cars, it would be great if someone else would agree on driving the second car :-).
🌠𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐏 𝐒𝐎 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐌𝐄 Iceland is one of my most favourite countries to travel so far: The crystal ice, the rough stone formations of the highlands, the whistling winds in the mountains, and the beauty of the greenish-golden grass😍. Iceland changes with every day and every season. And I always had the dream to travel to the Faroe Islands as well. But what makes joining me so special? And why come along? Because I have many years of experience as a professional travel specialist for China and travelled to more than 41 countries on holidays so far. I love to meticulously plan my trips and make sure that we make the most of our limited time while on a trip. My previous trip mates` reviews speak for themselves. I can guarantee you that you will not regret. Simply join and enjoy 🥰! Besides, I have taken care of all the planning and organization, so that you have a good and relaxed time while exploring this beautiful nordic islands together!
🏛️𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐘 On the Faroe Islands and Iceland we spend the nights in either guesthouses or hotels in twin bed rooms. We sleep one night in a four-bed cabin on the ship while passing over from Faroe Islands to Iceland over the Atlantic trait. I always try to make everyone feel comfortable, which is my highest priority. Please let me know if you would like to request a single room and I will see what can be arranged. ✔️𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩: 𝟒/𝟓 (𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬.) ✔️𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞: 𝐦𝐚𝐱. 𝟓 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 (𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 3 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐱. 1 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧) ✔️𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 If you want to ask anything, feel free to message me in the Q&A below.

As we set off, the the first views of lush green fields and distant glaciers will appear. Keep your camera ready, the landscapes here change dramatically with every turn. Upon reaching Jökulsárlón, we have time to marvel at the massive icebergs drifting in the lagoon and the Diamond Beach (it will become clear why the beach is called "diamond" once you see it). After enjoying Diamond Beach, we head towards Vatnajökull Glacier, the biggest of its kind on Iceland. Shortly after, we stop for some food and rest and then go on a short walk to the waterfall Svartifoss, famous for its unique basalt columns.

We will discuss some options in the group closer to the trip :). In the late afternoon we finally drive to our last overnight stop close to the airport of Keflavík. Since we will pass by the stunning and well-known Blue Lagoon, there will be a chance for our group to enjoy some extra hours of relaxation before we check-in. There is also an old lava tunnel nearby, where daily guided tours are being offered on a daily basis. So this might be another group activity to chose from. We will decide as a group.
