This was the best excursion of our entire cruise (and they all were great)! The vistas were breathtaking, the waterfall was magnificent, and the countryside made us seriously consider moving to Iceland. Gummi was a great host and driver. He kept us entertained and laughing while we felt safe in the massive vehicle he drives. That thing let us go places the buses couldn't reach, which added to the whole experience. he was waiting for us right off the ship and dropped us back in the city so we could spend time looking around. Highly highly recommend you go with him if you're ever in Iceland.

We had a great time with Gumby in Isafjordur and the surrounding area. First off, who goes to the West Fjords for their first time over Christmas? My husband, I tell you. But I'm glad we did! He tried 5 different tour companies to find someone to give us a tour on Christmas Day before he found this one (who can blame someone for wanting to be with their family on the biggest holiday of the year?). Gumby was very gracious and even bought us a Christmas present--a book about the Yule lads. So thoughtful! He picked us up at 10 am, a little over an hour before sunrise so he could have us in position to watch the sunrise from the place he deemed most beautiful. And he wasn't wrong! It was a beautiful day and shared history and interesting information with us from his headset microphone all along the way. He dropped us off at a breathtaking waterfall and let us explore around on our own. He was super knowledgeable and it was great to hear stories from a local. We felt so educated by the end of the day! He is an excellent driver and my boys loved his Super Jeep! We were blessed with amazing weather so we have fabulous pictures of our few hours of sunlight sightseeing on Christmas day. We will be coming back, for sure!

Our excursion with Iceland Backcountry Travel was by far the best part of our 2 week trip through Norway and Iceland. Gudmundur was the most amazing guide we could’ve asked for. He worked with our cruise time but not only that, he took us to the most beautiful parts of the West Fjords. He told us about everything throughout the whole trip and stopped wherever we were interested. We will be coming back to Iceland and will be using Iceland Backcountry travel again!! An unforgettable experience we will always remember.
